woman of color blog: in solidarity


( I said I would take a break but hey fuck with mine I come back like bad VD " itchin and ready to burn")

So they're giving a sista hell at ALAS and I'm a go DMX and lose my mind up in here

So this is the stuff they start yaking bout my sistah

I think that nubians acceptance and promotion in the feminist blogsphere is pure tokenism, because it sure has nothing to do with her quality of work.Real criticism is always just racism in disguise and she never addresses any of it.

See I love that because while nubians work is obviously is the product of tokenism while her critique of it is the work of quality and analysis because of what oh wait that's right.
What she thinks is depep though what nubian thinks is tripe because SHE SAID SO . I'm so stupid I Forgot that .Real criticism none of which she actually offers NONE is in her purvue and her purvue alone

See thats the problem with powerstructured activism. We seem to lack an basic moral code. I love the idea that at the end of the day that the feminist movement isn't about justice but about categories and spots in the line that must be meted out and followed. Nubian isn't real she's a token. So what she has to say becomes automatically discounted. Engaging Nubian has to be on THESE terms rather than Nubians or shes jsut wiping it away. Except there is no example of this in her long ass whine she's just mad she's not getting her need met RIGHT DAMN NOW. To which I say . Know what i don't say anything to that yet .

And don't claim everything is racism, because a lot of what is being banded about at Alas is interesting theories or questions from people who need things explained from a perspective they have never encountered, not someone to tell them that they are stupid and bad.

Because Nubian has to be the voice of negroid America at your beck and call . Because she has to defend her right to speak by constantly being some new age intellectual mammy to folks whose "curiousity" is so limited THEY CAN"T CLICK THROUGH TONUBIAN"S OWN FUCKING BLOG ! but they have "needs" that Nubian must meet to justify her "position" in the feminist blogosphere because god forbid people respect her shit the way SHE WANTS TO DO IT .

OR gasp when they do exude that one bit of you know intellectual curiosity instead of selfcongratulatory pretension and it not being with the circle jerk of yeah damn the man we're with you but " this our shit we run it our way this how we feel and NO you can't say whatever you wan't and go unchallenged" we're ( WOC feminists?womanists/sistren) all mean and angry and bitter and why can't we jsut be nice like the other feminists are!?!

See the activist in me like "coalition building remember coalition building". The momma in me wants it all to work out with love and cocoa, the NY Island bitch in me has her accent on full out is just wanting to start throwing hands . Then we get here

But likewise, nubian is setting 3rd wave feminism back by constantly acting like a petulant child, and is probably doing more harm then good by reinforcing the idea that women of color are confusing and scary because anyone who doesn't agree with or isn't familiar with feminist of color issues is going to be called a destructive terrible racist.

NOW IT"S JUST MOTHER FUCKING ON

Because you're such a big bad activist that being called a bad names sends you running from important and issues cause they're not going the way you want them to.

Because your're movement is just so MOTHERFUCKING COMPREHENSIVE that you can disagree with issues and they go away . Never mind that you can't disagree with an ISSUE just someone's opinion on an issue ( yeah next time you want to critique someones writing at least get a damn sense of proper subject verb agreement).

Because the wholey holey holy grail of " 3rd wave feminism " is everyones number one issue .

Who declared "wave" feminists the motherfucking arbiters of taste and decorum? Because someone who doesn't serve it is a child and shouldn't be listened to cause she's setting it back?

Nubian from me to you I hope you set that myopic bullshit concept of " 3rd wave feminism" back so far it falls in the motherfucking ocean and drowns.

doing more harm then good by reinforcing the idea that women of color are confusing and scary because anyone who doesn't agree with or isn't familiar with feminist of color issues is going to be called a destructive terrible racist

Except the fact is we are we are confusing scary loving and complex

BECAUSE WE ARE MOTHERFUCKING HUMAN BEINGS

Not performing academic monkeys

Not tokens

Not " strong asexual divas"

PEOPLE GOD DAMN IT AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHAT WE SAY FEEL AND THINK


who doesn't agree with or isn't familiar with feminist of color issues is going to be called a destructive terrible racist

No you'r enot a racist

Your the motherfucking laziest intellectually torpid fuckers.

BULLSHIT

MOTHER FUCKING BULLSHIT

When peopel pride themselves so much on blogs about being erudite and deep thinkers and the like are motherfucking intellectual sloths if they cant walk their asses to the library and type in the words

" Patricia Hill collins"
"womanism"
"chicana"
" Rigoberta Menchu"


or any that come up when reading someones work is an ass
or even drop an email to the author going " what are you're recommendations "

People will dedicate lifetimes to philosophers and Steinheim but giving pour words our standard bears doesnt merit some legwork. You're right not a racist..

They'r e a lazy self satisfied fuckhead, and they need to do their own legwork.

Yeah I said it , this isn't nursery school . You want to talk about tokenism and you sit there having your shit propped up.


MOTHERFUCKERS JUST DON"T GET IT

and guess what right now were about to closing the bank ,

THIS ISN'T BURGER KING


YOU CAN'T HAVE IT YOUR WAY


AND CALL ME WHAT YA LIKE BUT MESS WITH MINE AND IT IS MUTHAFUCKING ON!


We love's ya Nubian!
