This weeks readings was really interesting once again, I Never knew that black women had their own separate organization for feminist back in the 70s although I’m not surprised, but one would think that since all women are fighting for the same cause , white women would put aside their ignorant mentality for something greater, reading that essay made sad as well as proud of how much black women were and continued to accomplish till this day. I had read and also seen something about black women working with the panthers but I wasn’t sure if it was within them or a separate organization. black women being victims of both sexism and racism is something that breaks my heart these women had endure the same fate that black men did and yet there were no sign of respect given to them by the same men that saw them being tortured and abused. seeing how despite the disrespect given to them black women still fought besides black men is something be admire because that takes a lot of strength to fight against your own enemy In Times of needs and when I say enemy I mean it in the way black men show sexism toward black women. this also leads me to burning in Paris seeing black gay men fight for their own battles agains homophobia in NYC, not only this but as well as the epidemic of HIV\/AIDS that was going on in the communities . these people were not given the resources they needed for their own protection which could’ve been somewhat prevented, but again some communities don’t always receive help from others especially an all black community .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
