The practice of white female superiority has been a subtle but brutal reality in my life. Many white women have made it clear that they believe they are prettier, smarter, and the “standard” of a “quality” woman. Making it even more clear that because of this, black women are not worthy of their friendship or support in any substantial way. Some white women are unknowingly benefiting from this social standard, and some women of color are unknowingly suffering, which is why I believe this discussion is important. But I realized in the making of this show that superiority of any kind creates separatism. I have without a doubt practiced celebrity superiority only to realize it creates the SAME pain I experience from white female superiority. It's more of the same in a different form. We all want to practice comparative superiority of some kind because we are all terrified to simply....be. We are ALL HUMAN no matter our gifts, skin color, or economic status. I hope this show can illuminate for us all how we practice comparative superiority in some way through our many prejudices and/or the need to feel more special than someone else. Self evaluate after this one. The change starts within. I love you guys ❤️ Link in profile #RedTableTalk @redtabletalk

“I think what crushes me, specifically in my relationship with white women, the thing that really breaks my heart is that white women understand what it feels to be oppressed,” Pinkett Smith said.

Her 17-year-old daughter, Willow, chimed in, “Because of their sex.”

“Exactly. Because of their sex,” the mother of two agreed. “What it feels like to be ostracized or not being treated as an equal.”

Pinkett Smith admitted to her own biases, saying, “I have to admit I’m guilty to that to a certain degree because I do have my own biases, specifically to blonde women.”

“Blonde hair on white women just triggers me,” the Girls Trip star said while snapping her fingers. “I’ve had to catch myself.”

“Do you have a specific incident with someone who had blonde hair?” her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, asked.

“Absolutely. All throughout my childhood. I do remember experiencing being teased by white women in regards to my hair, how I looked, feeling belittled,” Pinkett Smith said.
