Well Of Course I Get Depressed Sometimes,

We Have Inherited A Fear Of Memories Of Slavery. It Is As If To Remember And Acknowledge Slavery Would Amount To Our Being Consumed By It. As A Matter Of Fact, In The Popular Black Imagination, It Is Easier For Us To Construct Ourselves As Children Of Africa, As The Sons And Daughters Of Kings And Queens, And Thereby Ignore The Middle Passage And Centuries Of Enforced Servitude In The Americas. Although Some Of Us Might Indeed Be The Descendants Of African Royalty, Most Of Us Are Probably Descendants Of Their Subjects, The Daughters And Sons Of African Peasants Or Workers.

I'm No Longer Accepting The Things I Cannot Change...i'm Changing The Things I Cannot Accept.

Often Young Black People Are Looking Towards The Alternative Economies. They Are Looking Towards The Drug Economy.... The Economies That Are Going To That Apparently Will Produce Some Kind Of Material Gain For Them.

As A Black Woman, My Politics And Political Affiliation Are Bound Up With And Flow From Participation In My People's Struggle For Liberation, And With The Fight Of Oppressed People All Over The World Against American Imperialism.

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.
