Black Women in the 20th and 21st Century: The Rise of Radical Black Feminism II
Alicia Garza & BlackLivesMatter
Anti-black Racism, against incarceration and state violence
Straight men have taken the work of queer Black women and erased our contributions
White supremacy has tried to erase the existence of Blacks, making them invisible and non-relevant.
Black lives include black queer and trans folk, disabled folk, black-undocumented folks, folks with records, women and any Blacks along the gender spectrum
Rebuild the Black Liberation Movement
Black lives are seen as without value within white supremacy as important to your liberation
Hyper-criminalization and sexualization of Black lives in society
For the movement to work society must support and acknowledge Black Lives
We are not all the same, do not erase blackss, do not change the conservation by talking about how your life matters too in All Lives Matter or Our Lives Matter
Less watered down unity and a more active solidarity with Blacks
