  • Feminism, Lesbianism, and The Making of a Black Widow

  • Sep 13, 2008 all day
  • Location: The C.H.I.L.D. Center
  • Description: "No nation can rise when the natural order of the behavior of the male and the female have been altered against their wishes by force. No species can survive if the female of that genus disturbs the balance of her nature by acting other than herself. The Black woman does not accept the real definition of who she is. She thinks she has several choices of how she can be..." - Shahrazad Ali There is a war waging between Black men and women. It has been brewing so long that most of us don't even realize that we are fighting each other. This Black Civil War didn't start with the Black man or woman. It started as a result of the institution of racism white supremacy. Ostensibly, the Black woman has taken the position that she is going to help (the white male) destroy Black manhood. She has become loud, overly aggressive, acutely independent, intensely integrationist and openly masculine. In addition, her life's goal is not to nurture the Black family, but to become a synthesized crackeress.
