As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem. Masses of people think that feminism is always and only about women seeking to be equal to men. And a huge majority of these folks think feminism is anti-male. Their misunderstanding of feminist politics reflects the reality that most folks learn about feminism from patriarchal mass media.

I get so tired of people acting like, you know, black men and women never help each other, never support each other.

. . . no Black woman can become an intellectual without decolonizing her mind.

Often girls feel deeply cared about as small children but then find as we develop willpower and independent thought that the world stops affirming us, that we are seen as unlovable.

I think Black people need to take self-esteem seriously.

Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust.

I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.
