When it comes to the issue of "black feminism", my main issue with it is the direction of the grievances and finger pointing. It seems, from the glimpse that I have gotten of it through various sources, to simply be about trying to imitate the feminism created by white women. Where white women took their grievances regarding their place in the society to the people who controlled said society, their white male counterpart. And so, black women copy and paste the same thing and state their grievances to black men.
Here's the issue: black men don't control societal forces like white men, so the copy and paste tactic does not work. The issues that face women in this society, be those white or black, are created by the white male who controls the resources and access to those resources en masse. Seeing that many of the black women who are proponents of black feminism are intelligent and well-educated, I am sure they know this fact. But instead, they either want to play "pin the tale" on an already easy target, black men, or they're simply too afraid to directly challenge that white male power structure that is the TRUE cause of their issues.
Also, most black feminists know, whether they admit it or not, that white feminists don't care for their issues and will not take them to the table with their own. The reality is, white feminists have always used black women to gain numbers as a strategy and then got rid of them when not needed anymore. And since many black women know this, it becomes a quandry when trying to rally with white women against the white male power structure. Because even if you and a white woman are facing the same white patriarchy, that white woman will never side with you against her man. Theirs is a family dispute, yours is an outsider talking sh#t.
So, what does the black feminist do? Well, in her frustration, which afflicts so many black people, they turn inward. They blame black men for the same things that white women blame white men for KNOWING that the two situations are NOT the same. Why? Because them blaming black men is acceptable...there's even rewards and accolades for it. While blaming white men comes with consequences and repercussions (loss of job, loss of access to resources, etc). Black women, due their experience in this hemisphere, have learned who they can attack and who they cannot...through no fault of their own I might add.
Regardless of the quandry that black feminism faces, I careth not for their woes. I will not and do not support an ideology that directly challenges the importance, necessity and rightful place of the black man within society and especially the home. It is because I know why black feminists attack black men that I have no respect for them, their treachery or their plight. Furthermore, I will continue to lambaste and denigrate "black feminism" until I see consistent effort from black feminists and black feminists publications to bring their grievances to the rightful culprit, the white male power structure.
Until then, I say "let them cake" and gorge themselves on it.
Peace
