To me, I am fundamentally a BlackWoman (no space) one entity with neither part coming before the other. No part of who I am would be the same with out both of these characteristics being vere present. We are something distinct from our White female counterparts AND our Black brothers.
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.
