PROGRESSIVE BLACK THINKERS
21 hrs |
Quite an image of the white woman, whose famous face symbolizes the white feminist movement of the 1960's '70's & '80's, clenching her fist alongside a proud dark skinned woman with a tight afro herself raising her fist in the Black Power salute. But the poster crosses out the word Black and replaces it with women over the word power. Women Power.
What is women's power in a patriarchy? What is Black Power in a white society? Is the suggestion a comfortable one replacing, or diminishing the role and need for Black empowerment? If white people, as a whole, cannot stop being invaders and warmongers how can white women and Black women co-exist in a movement centered around power? What does women power mean between two women's groups hostile and envious of each other?
Women power? What energies will such a movement start with? Will it evolve into the higher planes of the Sacred Feminine, or wrestle with the old demi-gods who have consistently been the bane of women's existence in the Western world?
Starting from the Western perspective and worldview how will women clinging to their traditions in other cultures in the United States and abroad strategically place themselves in this movement that by its inception in the States is polarized between Black and White women? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.16.14
