black woman or
I was watching C-SPAN that had a panel discussing AA that have run for the presidential bid. One question asked by a woman candidate was described as damning -
Do you consider yourself a black woman first or a woman first then black. What would have been your reply? |
I would say black woman. I think people notice that I'm Black first, then woman.
|
black woman definitely
I'm with Nikki1920- there are far more issues uniting me with black people in this country than with women. |
said like MADEA in Diary of a Mad BLACK WOMAN
I am a BLACK WOMAN!! :D
|
also - - -
i failed to mention the question was asked of the candidate because she was seeking endorsement from a women rights group that consist primarily of non-black women - i hope you see the difficulty

...gon wit your bad self, Sojurner "CT4" Truth. Seriously, this is an interesting topic (good post, Bro. Professor). I'm looking forward to seeing the responses of the GC sistahs. |
AH, that makes things more difficult. Well, I guess it's time for me to pull out my Spelman card. I cannot be either/or. One does not come before the other. I am both equally. Historically, if we look at the Black woman's role in the Feminist movement and the Civil Rights/Black Power movement, we were not treated or viewed as equals. So, I cannot choose. Just as white females do not understand me, often times I feel that Black men do not as well.

I see why the question really stood out in the context where it was asked. Based on the question asked I would have answered Black woman. Hopefully, any true feminist scholar would (and should) understand the significance of that and not consider it a reason not to support me or recognize my desire or ability to advocate on issues affecting women. |

**PS SISTERGREEK Kimmie---The Spelman card/Africana-Women's Studies card are very simliar. It's like the difference between a Costco ans Sam's Club card...girl, it's almost the same thing. LOL** |
A twist....
woman or lady?
Is there a difference? |
Hello Ladies. I just wanted to share a book with you that I read in a Women's Studies class. It is called All The Women are White, All the Blacks are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave: Black Women's Studies by Gloria T. Hull, Patricia Bell Scott and Barbara Smith. It was very informative, and I highly reccommend it if you haven't already read it. :)

The question was asked of Shirley Chisom (?) when she ran for president - again, she was seeking endorsement by a womans organization.:D
