this weeks reading opened my eyes to some things, now I have read last weeks reading on women of color who decided to come up with their own group to fight against racism and sexism and its kind of what this reading talks about. now in these reading these ladies talk about the importance of identification when it comes to politics and whatnot. the reading by Garza was interesting in a way that she explains why as black women is important to identify themselves from other groups, back when they first stated the feminist movement black women were not welcome by white women because in reality white women were only fighting for themselves and not for all women. she explains how in order to understand what identity of politics is we first have to look at what power is and how its all connected in the same way. moving onto the next reading by Williams and how she talks about the racism she faced because people believed she was black and not hispanic because of her skin color and some thought she was too hispanic to be black because of her culture and language all these combine expanded my knowledge a bit more that in this country identification is a big thing. although we don’t feel the need to be put in an specific group we oughta to because thats what most people are accustomed to , that in order for us to been seen or heard or understood we first have to explain our identity.
