It's sad that a Black men like W.E.B. Dubois refused to acknowledge the work of Ida B. Wells. Black women's contributions have been systematically eroded from history. I'm grateful that a lot of this history is coming into the light.
I remember the Million Woman March, which happened after (and, partly, in reaction to) Farrakhan's Million Man March in '95.🏛 I'm glad you mention the Blk Feminist Movement of the '70s. I may have said this before, but one of my all-time fave speeches is when Huey Newton reached out to the (as they were called at the time) Women's Lib♀️ and Gay Rights🏳️🌈 movements, saying that the Black Power✊🏿 Movement needed them just as much they needed it. Intersectionality, y'all.💓
BuddyL He said that post-Fred Hampton assassination when COINTELPRO crippled the BPP to the point that they were desperate for growth. Also around this time he practically alienated himself from other members of the party. Which is why he put Elaine Browne in charge who shifted the parties focus and image on radical politics to more of a liberal agenda to preserve the party and to give them better media PR. This is where the major rifts in the party began when they saw it is selling out by placing the struggles of others ahead of improving the material conditions of Blacks. It was all about numbers and saving the BPP which failed dramatically. Intersectionality is bull. It is not for everybody because it plays on the constantly disputed notion that straight Black Men and other racialized men benefit from patriarchy despite conflicting empirical findings and historical records. It actually applies the same racist tropes about heterosexual black men that have been used by white feminists since 1867. “Black Men are brutal patriarchs.” “Black Men inherited white male privilege” “Black men are misogynists rapists that need to be put down or controlled”etc...Which is bull because Black men are at the bottom of every demographic category and the only group to experience progressive generational downward mobility. The same cannot be said for Black Women who have upward mobility comparable to white women. It also says that Black Men never experienced oppression due to gender, despite the records of genital mutilation (castrations, penis dismemberment), and rape by both hate groups and law enforcement (sodomized by nightsticks). Black Boys are among the most vulnerable in child abuse and sexual violence that intersectionality chooses to ignore because findings are being reported that many cases of these acts are female perpetrated. Intersectionality is dying a slow death as findings are dismantling the anecdotes that it thrives on. This is not history. This is revisionism with agenda. Black Feminists: “I will never chose race over my gender!” White feminists:”I will always choose my race over gender. Hell I got the noose right here.”
Sistah, Afrakan Women do not desire to be separated from our Brothers. We are in the same boat that created our madness. We are one whether We know it or not. We already know that We are equal to our Brothers. They are not our oppressors.
What you don't know, as you rock your purple Afro, is that this was not a "Black Feminist" march. What are you talking about? I almost attended that march in person, and encouraged two of my female friends to fly across the Atlantic from Liverpool, England to attend (they did). The Black Women at this event were those from our neighbourhoods, supporting each other, and supported by their brothers, fathers, husbands - the sister march to the Million Man March that happened, I think the year before. They were not the antagonistic Intersectional Feminist community-splitters who suck up all the oxygen today. Back then, we were unified. What you say about Black Women being ignored and erased in our communities is both false and absurd. The vast majority of the Black Panther Party were women, as were the leadership. How did Angela Davis, Kathleen Cleaver and Elaine Brown emerge otherwise? You have a social media, meme-driven reductionist vision of history which simply dd not happen. Your "speculation" of DuBois is simply gossip: you don't know why Wells' name was left off... do you? Black men did not "subjugate" their women; they did not have the power, still do not have the power and would not do it if we could. Millennials are a write-off, and this video is a sad joke.
@@ultimatemaijn Embittered females just want an excuse to take a shot at Black men as they try to climb to the top with their intersectional "sisters": the same white women who had them raped and forced them to work for nothing as domestic servants. Black Feminists are craven in their desire to climb up the greasy pole at any cost.

If this is the true, why are our African sister's involving themselves in this division of our collective struggle?
