In general agreement with the paraphrased observation that the acceptance inherent within man's nature to ultimately grant passage to women could potentially and even probably be the achilles heel of white supremacy. Try as it might there is only so long that denial can hold up against itself. White supremacy might be the proverbial elephant fighting itself in the empty room. If a black woman - literal or metaphorical - has managed to open the door and has as such revealed the white elephant's blank space it stands to reason that the elephant might find it difficult to explain itself. Mercy, grace, strength, love, compassion, resistance and revolution are probably forces that will overcome other stuff even if the other stuff can make it look and sound really plausible that the stuff that isn't other stuff ain't nearly as good as the stuff that the other stuff claims to be. Even if the other stuff is just begging, borrowing and stealing from the stuff it is not. And if not, there's always humour...
