I'm No Longer Accepting The Things I

Yes, I Think It's Really Important To Acknowledge That Dr. King, Precisely At The Moment Of His Assassination, Was Re-conceptualizing The Civil Rights Movement And Moving Toward A Sort Of Coalitional Relationship With The Trade Union Movement.

I Think It Is Important To Acknowledge The Extent To Which The Black Middle Class Tends To Rely On A Kind Of Imagined Struggle That Gets Projected Into Commodities Like Kente Cloth For Example On The One Hand And Images Like The Million Man March.

I Think We Have To Really Focus On The Issues Much More Than We May Have In The Past. I Think We Have To Seek To Create Coalitional Strategies That Go Beyond Racial Lines. We Need To Bring Black Communities, Chicano Communities, Puerto Rican Communities, Asian American Communities Together.

Feminism Involves So Much More Than Gender Equality And It Involves So Much More Than Gender. Feminism Must Involve Consciousness Of Capitalism (i Mean The Feminism That I Relate To, And There Are Multiple Feminisms, Right). So It Has To Involve A Consciousness Of Capitalism And Racism And Colonialism And Post-colonialities, And Ability And More Genders Than We Can Even Imagine And More Sexualities Than We Ever Thought We Could Name.

I Think That Has To Do With My Awareness That In A Sense We All Have A Certain Measure Of Responsibility To Those Who Have Made It Possible For Us To Take Advantage Of The Opportunities. The Door Is Opened Only So Far. If Some Of Us Can Squeeze Through The Crack Of That Door, Then We Owe It To Those Who Have Made Those Demands That The Door Be Opened To Use The Knowledge Or The Skills That We Acquire Not Only For Ourselves But In The Service Of The Community As Well. This Is Something That I Guess I Decided A Long Time Ago.
