A rally in Charlottesville, Virginia turned violent after white nationalists took to the streets, leading to many conversations about race relations in Trump's America. Although the faces of the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" protesters were overwhelmingly white and male, it would be misguided to ignore the role that white women have always played in white supremacy. Certainly, many white women haven't been sitting on the sidelines when it comes to supporting and/or being complicit in agendas and systems that oppress people of color. Approximately 53 percent of white women voted for Trump, whose appeal to white nationalist and anti-social justice bases has been well-documented.
