The quote, “We might use our position at the bottom to make a clear leap into revolutionary action.  If black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.” this means that If black women aren’t free then none of us are free. Throughout the decade black woman has been fighting for rights, peace, and freedom. Today, there has been violence and discrimination against black women, until they have peace or the freedom that everyone else has then everyone, especially feminists will have the freedom they want. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the feminism movement has risen through decades, however, most of the feminism that was fighting for rights were known to be white and black men. No women who were African American have fought for women’s rights at the time and they were “quiet” during the feminist organization. Black women have given their unique venue to be against the system and fight for others and their own freedom, this how leads to the quote “If black women are it would mean that everyone else would have to be free”

Identity Politics means a movement of people of a particular region, race, or social background, to form an exclusive political alliance moving away from a traditional broad-based political party. Identity Politics can be seen operating the documentary “Paris is burning” because it chronics the “Golden Age” and a tradition that creates a new capacity for drag queens, gays, Latino, and African Americans to be involved in a community where they create themselves a new ability for self-worth, values, joy and crucially for family. This can be related to black women fighting for their freedom because there was a scene in which both the feminist and the civil rights movement didn’t reflect the particular needs of Black women and lesbians.

Race and gender have to do with capitalism because capitalism reduces the oppression of tradition societies that impose hierarchies of gender. Capitalism drives the changes in a way in which reduces either rising or falling gender inequality to a simple of different kinds of capitalism development. It doesn’t matter what race or gender you are, capitalism changes the inequality of different race and gender, this is the reason why black woman and other races today focus on oppression and race + gender have to deal with capitalism.
