Prefer Audre Lorde on the page.

Sermons to chew on. Thick gristle that’s hard to swallow but necessarily vital. Should be required reading for all. For black women and women of color to find a cradle to lick their wounds in solidarity, witness horrors spoken of so factually yet eloquently, that they be used as knowledge instead of something to leave on the plate. For white women a lot may go over your head but with slow meandering around the visceral corners of reality outside of your privilege, you may take in more than you choose to know but could help in the long run, reduce the horrors we face with you blind. For black men to get a peek inside your part in playing the involuntary trope to the benefit of the white man and the detriment of black women, but also for growth, for salve, for solidarity with us as black women. For white men… well the ones that are open to saving lol, just shut up and listen.

It is sad to realize that someone has to grow up in our country dealing with so much hate for simply being who they are. Another reminder that we need to love each other for the unique being with unique gifts that each of us are. That we have made the command, from God, to love each other have so many conditions is crazy and sad. the tone of skin, the economic level, the preference to get strength and support from only specific persons........oh my. Audre Lorde had so many "things" that the culture deemed wrong it is no wonder that she had so much anger and fear. I am grateful for her voice. Oh for us all to strive for acceptance. I will need to read this a second and a third to maybe even begin to discover all of the wisdom in this book. Thoughts on patriarchy, feminism, Black women, Black men, white privilege, economic disparity, racism, lesbians and so many other place where we choose to rank and divide.
