Ironically,
@EMY is trying to forum slide without acknowledging the origins of feminism (black and white)
Let's peruse:
Suffragette: Susan B. Anthony, 1820-1906 (Social reformer, member of the Anti-Slavery Society, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association)
Hooray: “I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.”
Wait, What: “Mr. Douglass talks about the wrongs of the Negro; but with all the outrages that he to-day suffers, he would not exchange his sex and take the place of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.”
Suffragette: Anna Howard Shaw, 1847-1919 (Physician, Methodist minister, president of the National Woman Suffrage Association, inspiration for an episode of
30 Rock)
Hooray: “Around me I saw women overworked and underpaid, doing men’s work at half men’s wages, not because their work was inferior, but because they were women.”
Wait, What: “You have put the ballot in the hands of your black men, thus making them political superiors of white women. Never before in the history of the world have men made former slaves the political masters of their former mistresses!”
Let's do a little research on the ACADEMIC AND FAMILY BACKGROUND of the woman who coined the term INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISM, shall we?
Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw (born 1959) is an American civil rights advocate and a leading scholar of
critical race theory. She is a full professor at the
UCLA School of Law and
Columbia Law School, where she specializes in race and gender issues.
[1]
Crenshaw is known for the introduction and development of INTERSECTIONAL THEORY
Where did she go to school?
Early life and education[edit]
Crenshaw was born in
Canton, Ohio in 1959, to
parents Marian and Walter Clarence Crenshaw, Jr.
[3] She attended
Canton McKinley High School. She received a bachelor's degree in government and Africana studies from
Cornell University[4] in 1981, where
she was a member of the Quill and Dagger senior honors society.

Why are black women joining 100 year old racist secret societies? Oh. Time for more perusing
This is GLORIA STEINEM discussing her time in the CIA, you know, the same people who helped come up with COINTELPRO.
Now will you LOOK AT THIS. Who owned MS Magazine? GLORIA STEINEM.
What is the cover story in reference to?
an ANTI-BLACKMAN book..."written" by a Black Feminist.
Let's revisit this AGAIN:
Ms. is an
American liberal feminist magazine co-founded by
second-wave feminists and
sociopolitical activists Gloria Steinem and
Dorothy Pitman Hughes.
I don't think a board full of black men need REMINDERS of how racist white women are. It's not us who perpetuate tactics gleaned from movements with RACIST ORIGINS. We don't have million dollar CIA sponsors and magazine covers backing us, with 40+ year head starts, now do we?
So please tell me more.
