More than 160,000 white Democrat women "checked their white privilege" during a Zoom call on Thursday to discuss how they can be good "white supporters" of Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.
The main message during the training was to shut up and listen to black Indigenous people of color (BIPOC).
"As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals - or God forbid correcting them - just take a beat, and instead, we can put our listening ears on," said Arielle Fodor, one of the women leading the training.
The Zoom call, dubbed "White Women: Answer the Call," was attended by more than 164,000 white women to learn how to support the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, which included "celebrity" appearances from notorious America-hating former women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe, singer and songwriter Pink, and actress Connie Britton, who joked during the training that they should be called "Karen's for Kamala."
"As white people, we have a lot to learn and unlearn," continued Fodor. "So, do check your blindspots."
"You are responsible for your algorithm, believe it or not. Intentionally seek out and share content from BIPOC creators, activists, thought leaders. They should be the leaders of conversations about race, injustice, and equity. So, just whatever you do, don't stay silent on the issues of injustice," said Fodor.
"We're going to get it wrong sometimes," she continued. "So, be ready for feedback and listen when you're corrected and model doing your best to repair harm that's done. Because a lot of the times being an ally means being willing to be uncomfortable and no one is more uncomfy than someone talking to their bigoted family members."
Elizabeth Minnella, another woman who helped lead the training, urged activists to send a Harris donation link to voters and allies. She revealed her favorite group was one called "Witches for Harris."
The Thursday online gathering was motivated by a previous Zoom call that was organized by the activist group "Win With Black Women" last Sunday. The call was directed at Black women and took place just hours after President Joe Biden declared his decision to withdraw from his re-election campaign, endorsing Harris.
White Democrat men were moved by the white women's Zoom call and will be holding a similar meeting called "White Dudes for Harris," Fox News reported.
