Good read. As I interact with school children on a daily basis - TopicsExpress



          

Good read. As I interact with school children on a daily basis now, its confirming my observations and reaffirming my need to ramp up my involvement. While I wasnt miffed at all about the Presidents initiative for black boys, My Brothers Keeper, I also know that there needs to be major, targeted initiatives for black girls that do not reinforce Eurocentric patriarchal and religiously biased formations of womanhood. In particular, I appreciate this writers slight towards the Black feminist Twitter brigade. If youre on Twitter and follow the right people, youll know exactly who Im talking about. These sistas spend an exorbitant amount of time arguing with white feminists for their inability to include Black women in key feminist dialogue. Whether they realize it or not, these sistas also fuel the divide with Black men in their dismissive and sometimes, cruel retorts when there is a need for some kind of progressive discussion between us.
