"This has been going on for a long time," reveals Cargle about the behavior of women like Amy Cooper "weaponizing their white womanhood." "It's something that has been braided into the American understanding of how people exist in the world. When we come into the modern manifestations of that, what we're seeing is women weaponizing their white womanhood in order to get what they want from a system that they are fully aware will protect them.
"White women walk around saying, 'I haven't done anything.' But they're existing in this way that is holding this understanding of how racism plays into their privilege," she continued, before explaining how Cooper's language on her 911 call put every black man's life in danger who was in the park that day. "She wanted the police coming in with the thought that a white woman was being harmed by a black man because she was fully aware of that would play out.
