@mekkaokereke okay thanks

But do you disagree specifically with historians that she supported and fought for the vote for both Black women and white women?

I understand you think she's a bad person, and I know there have been a lot of articles recently focusing on the conflict. That's I think a good debate about judgment and the things we should value.

But it kind of sounds like you believe she only supported the vote for white women or only fought for their right to vote, which is an empirical claim I haven't seen anybody make yet.

@mekkaokereke I'm sure you know this, but the standard history is that Susan B Anthony was a lifelong abolitionist and supporter of Black rights including universal suffrage. Are you saying that story is incorrect in important ways?

At least in the standard telling, there was a struggle within AERA where one group decided that strategically they couldn't get both Black suffrage and female suffrage and they asked the feminists to stand down while they worked exclusively for the Black male vote.

From Wikipedia

> After the Kansas campaign, the AERA increasingly divided into two wings, both advocating universal suffrage but with different approaches. One wing, whose leading figure was Lucy Stone, was willing for black men to achieve suffrage first and wanted to maintain close ties with the Republican Party and the abolitionist movement. The other, whose leading figures were [Susan B.] Anthony and Stanton, insisted that *women and black men should be enfranchised at the same time* and worked toward a politically independent women's movement that would no longer be dependent on abolitionists.

(emphasis mine)

Is this wrong? Thanks

I agree that in general there is a history of white supremacy in various feminist movements.

@michaelenger @phiofx a fork of Firefox is the only plausible solution IMO since they have a battle-tested browser.

Someone should convince the Rust community to revive the Servo project
