Quotation of the Day
This one is from Renee at Womanist Musings. She raises some really good points about my post on the most recent Blackface Files.
This was an attack on black women. It was also an attack on trans women. The mayor makes reference to smelly vaginas by the name that he chose. There is also in the way that he performed a mockery to the trans experience. He is applying that they are men in dresses and not women…merely cartoon figures.
It seems to me that when the black community confronts racism it is always so one dimensional. We often miss intersections of class, sexuality or cisexual status. Intersectionality needs to become a priority because there is no one way to be black.
Yeah, think about that, ’cause it’s real.

Thanks for the shout out. Intersectionality is something that is extremely important. Those of us that labor in the battle of justice need to be careful not to “other” to defend a point.
