Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets by Feminista Jones
5.0
“Where all the women are white and all the blacks are men, we are not white enough to be women and too womanly to be black.”
I loved this book because again I was reminded of my micro-aggression thinking, not realizing women of color could possibly be interested in BDSM, or the fact that women of color are unfairly accused of being unfit mothers and their children though are only 14% of the population make up 44% of foster children, and that prisons full of people of color are used for labor for private contracts, just one of many reasons why people of color are unfairly put in prison.
Another surprise is famous white women who I consider feminists, have perpetuated white supremacy and have said horrible micro-agressions publicly.
It's just shocking how unaware I am.
