Glad you like it.<br /><br />I have only gone Global in the last two months, my women studies professor is AWESOME and really pushes us to think outside of our "western" "black" boundaries.M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-67467616603075082002009-12-23T16:01:22.435-05:002009-12-23T16:01:22.435-05:00I just found your blog and must say you typed don...I just found your blog and must say you typed done some things that I wish my female friends would think about. Black women all over the world seem to have the same problems once they live in a Western society. As long as we don't work on our knowledge of the system and our inferiority complexes most of us will be running in circles. I completely agree with you and hope to see more of your work.

Historically, this group has been black men<br />and women. <br /><br />Empowerment arises in a system that pays Black men and women enough money to survive, or even one that pays Black men and women the same amount that White men earn, for the same jobs.<br /><br />Empowerment arises in a system that forces some folks to live simply so that OTHERS may simply live. <br /><br />Women do 2/3rds of the worlds work for 1/10th of the pay. I want MY 9/10ths of pay back. Black men didn't take it from me, so they can't give it back. Getting it from Black men isn't the issue.<br /><br />Assumption Number 2: <br /><br />Black men have been woefully underemployed since after WWII, so walking around expecting them to have money simply isn't the issue. Its an insult to measure ANY person by what they have, Black or otherwise."<br /><br />ALL OF THIS! :) It is incredibly frustrating to engage in dialogue when the other person has a completely different (a.k.a., lacking) understanding of patriarchy and the history of oppression. We all have to be on the same page before we can discuss what is empowering and what isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-60555416560547446432009-12-17T09:53:01.831-05:002009-12-17T09:53:01.831-05:00YYYYYYYYYYOU CAME TOOOO MY BLOG.
