Bell Hooks dead at age 69

[Thurgood Thurston III]

nikkas in here shytting on a Black woman who's body isn't even cold yet and can't put forth any meaningful counterarguments to the snippets of her work they're quoting.


color me shocked.

From what I gather, all she ever did was tell a bunch of anecdotes without citing sources.

Why would that deserve a meaningful counterargument?

RIP first time I've heard of her

Hilarious only inappropriate homosexual behaviour beats it

Reading her work in college changed my perspective on a lot of things. Brilliant writer and thinker. RIP

When Dr Francis Cress Welsing died and the Shea butter brigade went after her a few minutes after it was announced, brehs were outraged.

Now look.

It’s “interesting” that the mainstream media posted more about bell hooks when she passed than they did for Dr. Francis Cress Welsing. It’s not as if Dr. Welsing wasn’t known either.

She served an important role for many black women and should be respected for that.

You're not Black.

An inspiration for several of my college dissertations. You will be missed, but not forgotten. Thank you for helping me understand both myself, and the world around me. Rest In peace.

Considering your posts in that barbershop thread, I’m not surprised by your statement in the least bit. Speaking of that barbershop thread you never answered my question, how old are you?

@Barnett114 you're a fool for that warning

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Don't compare a great woman like Dr Francis Cress Welsing to this piece of garbage

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

I was when I found out about her passing on IG.

 

[Chip Skylark]

I’ve never read her works but most of the people who tend to quote her are people I find myself disagreeing with a lot.

 

[Drew Wonder]

I read some of her essays in college. Her main message was that patriarchy and white supremacy were tied together and that sexism and racism went hand in hand. This quote pretty much summed up many of her arguments

Yet, our feminist critiques of black male sexism fail as meaningful political intervention if they seek to demonize black males, and do not recognize that our revolutionary work is to transform white supremacist capitalist patriarchy in the multiple areas of our lives where it is made manifest

Didn't agree with everything she wrote but thought all of her arguments were well written and thought out. I'd encourage ya'll to read some of her essays before passing judgment. You should watch this video series as well

I can’t trust any intellectual who doesn’t have sources

RIP to her. I barely remember a lot of her stuff but her breakdown of hip hop music and how we are misguided in blaming individual artists persay for trying to make a dollar when consumer demand for fukkery and CACs drive a lot of what is produced was spot on.
