'White Women for Kamala' virtual event draws 'Black Mirror' comparisons as Mrs Frazzled gives woke advice

WASHINGTON, DC: A massive Zoom meeting titled 'White Women For Kamala' drew considerable attention, boasting more than 164,000 participants, so many that the platform reportedly struggled to keep up with the demand.

The event, aimed at rallying support for Vice President Kamala Harris, was headlined by notable figures such as singer Pink and soccer star Megan Rapinoe.

Social media influencer Arielle Fodor sparks controversy with remarks on White privilege and support for BIPOC

Among the various speakers was social media influencer Arielle Fodor, known as "Mrs Frazzled," who sparked controversy with her remarks. Fodor, whose content typically focuses on early childhood education and the state of teaching, was perceived by some as asking white women to "bow down" to people of color in support of Harris.

"BIPOC women have tapped us in as white women to step up, listen, and get involved this election season, this is a really important time and we all need to use our voices and influence for the greater good," Fodor declared. BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

Fodor continued, "As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals, or God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat and instead we can put our listening ears on."

She emphasized the importance of learning from and amplifying marginalized voices, urging white people to use their privilege to push for systemic change. "As white people, we have a lot to learn and unlearn. So do check your blind spots," she added.

Event mocked on social media

The Zoom meeting was met with a flood of reactions on social media, many of which mocked the event.

One X user quipped, "This could be from a 'Black Mirror' episode," referencing the dystopian science fiction Netflix series.

"Liberal white ppl are some of the dumbest ppl on the planet & the contest isn't even close," another added.

"These women never struggled for anything in their lives and they feel the need to virtue signal to hide their own racism," a user chimed in.

"Militantly ignorant egotistical maniacs," read a comment.

"Good Lord, that was stomach-churning," someone else remarked.

"This is so cringe it is actually painful to watch," another offered.

‘White Women for Kamala’ and other identity-based Zoom calls boost support for Harris after Biden's withdrawal

"White Women For Kamala" is just one of many identity-based Zoom calls aimed at rallying support for Harris. Upcoming events include a "white dudes" Zoom call, expected to attract 100,000 attendees, featuring actors Mark Ruffalo, Sean Astin, Mark Hamill, and Bradley Whitford.

Democratic officials such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, North Carolina Gov Roy Cooper, Minnesota Gov Tim Walz, and Illinois Gov JB Pritzker are also set to participate.

These events come in the wake of President Joe Biden dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris. Since Biden's withdrawal, tens of thousands of people have joined virtual gatherings to support Harris among specific groups, including black women, Hispanic women, Black men, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Progressive operative Ross Morales Rocketto, founder of one of the organizing groups, stated, "We are organizing ourselves this time because we aren't going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology." He referred to Trump's 'Make America Great Again' movement.

While these Zoom calls are not officially organized by Harris' campaign, her team welcomes the support and the substantial fundraising they generate. Michael Tyler, Harris' campaign communications director, remarked, "Winning campaigns are powered by real, organic support."

The political networking group "Win With Black Women" held a Zoom meeting the night Biden dropped out, which saw over 44,000 participants. This event featured speeches from activists, business leaders, members of Congress, and staff from Harris' office.

Following this, a "Win With Black Men" virtual fundraising event attracted more than 53,000 attendees, including presentations by 27-year-old Democratic Rep Maxwell Frost of Florida and Georgia Sen Raphael Warnock.

Republicans have criticized Harris for her focus on "diversity, equality, and inclusion politics," arguing that her political career has been bolstered by Democratic efforts to promote diversity, the Daily Mail reported.
