The term “Identity Politics,” was freshly introduced to me. When a group of people have a particular racial background or ethnic and form exclusive political alliances, that is an identity political group.  I read a passage called THE COMBAHEE RIVER COLLECTIVE STATEMENT. I like this article because it makes a lot of sense to me, and I love the agenda the black feminist is working on. I also recognize the time that this is written in, you have to keep in mind that Jim crow laws ended in 1965. This is taking place in the 1970s.Im sure black women needed a feminist group to speak out for them. That is basically what THE COMBAHEE RIVER COLLECTIVE IS for. they are a group of black feminists.  Black feminist politics also have an obvious connection to movements for Black liberation. To me they make it clear they really want social, political, economic, justice for black women most importantly. This doesn’t mean that they don’t care about other people or feel men aren’t important. They just understand that A group of black women need to come together and represent. There are plenty of activists who aren’t racist but don’t really speak out for black women and find ways to fight injustice they go through. Black women are smart and important. I’m glad even after the 1960s The Combahee River collective and many other black female activists before them and after them exist to help make things better for other women and leave a mark.
