Slutwalk, Slurs, and Why Feminism Still Has Race Issues

3. I think there's a lot more too

and like you, I don't get all caught up in words. Someone could call me the n or b word all day long and I'd just hold up a mirror so they could see themselves.

I think there are a lot more important things to worry about however, it's offensive to many Black sisters so I'm willing to sacrifice the quote.

I can also follow their reasoning and understand where they're coming from.

My bottom line is that even if I don't agree, if they say it's painful and it's an example of the White privilege that keeps Black Feminists from uniting with White Feminists, shouldn't we take heed?

I know Black Feminists are already working on the things in your last sentence but it's a hard, long battle that we could win faster if we start acting like Feminists who fight to right the plight of all women, regardless of color.

I was listening to Sunera Thobani this morning. She makes me want to go back to school and sign up for her classes!
