I just came across this article from a few years ago on Crunk Feminist Collective about a white feminist who made a racist sign for SlutWalk NYC, in which the author talks a lot about what I mentioned in class earlier today (in a much more cohesive and in-depth way than I was able to though), about how there are different standards of sexuality for Black women and white women, and what that means in the context of the feminist movement. It's also worth reading the comments, the author has a great discussion with a commenter named Michelle a little ways down.
