“Historically, we [black women] did not live within the isolation of a patriarchal world, we were thrust into that brutal equality slavery imposed.”

—

Kathleen Cleaver (Women, Power and Revolution)

“That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman?” – Sojourner Truth (Ain’t I A Woman?)

“In this instance, tyranny is not a rhetorical inflation, but a designation of the absoluteness of power. Gender, if at all appropriate in this scenario, must be understood as indissociable from violence, the vicious refiguration of rape as mutual and shared desire, the wanton exploitation of the captive body tacitly sanctioned as a legitimate use of property, the disavowal of injury, and the absolute possession of the body and its “issue.” In short, black and female difference is registered by virtue of the extremity of power operating on captive bodies and licensed within the scope of the humane and the tolerable.” – Saidiya Hartman (Scenes of Subjection)

“[T]he black female [is] the veritable nemesis of degree and difference. Having encountered what they understand as chaos, the empowered need not name further, since chaos is sufficient naming within itself. I am not addressing the black female in her historical apprenticeship as inferior being, but, rather, the paradox of non-being. Under the sign of this particular historical order, black female and black male are absolutely equal.” – Hortense Spillers (Interstices: A Small Drama of Words)

“The normal systems in a patriarchal society should have a system in which black women and black men are structurally different. But what Fanon found out is that colonialism structures black men and black women into the same. Because under that system you’re only legitimate if you get what is called “words of whiteness”, if you actually get legitimation in that world from a category called a ‘white man’.” – Lewis Gordon (Frantz Fanon at 90)

“Black women have no part in the fight that white women find necessary, to fight their oppressive white men. The black male is not oppressing the black woman. He owns no shipping. He owns no mercantile. He owns no railroads. He owns no Wall Street stocks. So he is not the oppressor. The black woman’s fight is for total liberation alongside of her man.” – Queen Mother Audley Moore (The Black Scholar, March 1973)

Y’ALL I’M JUST LEAVING THE THEATER AFTER WATCHING “WIDOWS” AND WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS THE ACTION MOVIE OF 2018, BELIEVE ME.

THIS MOVIE HAS EVERYTHING AND MORE. THERE ARE NOT ONE, BUT THREE TWISTS YOU WILL NOT SEE COMING.

The cast chemistry was impeccable. Viola Davis hit it out of the park along with her just as amazingly talented co-stars. I never left the edge of my seat and I did just about lose my mind at one of Alexander McQueen’s movie twists.

I DON’T IM GOING TO RECOVER FROM THIS MOVIE. Wig? GONE. Edges? SNATCHED. Soul? ASCENDED. Mind? BLOWN.

IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IT. GO SEE IT. I CAN ONLY EXPRESS SO MUCH. TO TRULY SEE WHAT IM SAYING YOU’LL HAVE TO PURCHASE A TICKET TO SEE IT.

….. I NEED A MOMENT TO GATHER MYSELF.

i just purchased a ticket to see this shit by myself at 9:00am tomorrow. wow, impeccable marketing.

OKAY Y’ALL. SEE THIS GOT DAMN MOVIE. I JUST….Y’ALLLLLLL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A BRILLIANT CINEMATIC FILM. JESUS. 

LMAO I REALLY SAID ALEXANDER MCQUEEN 💀

BRUHH, I meant STEVEN MCQUEEN😂😂 (I was typing faster than i was thinking because i was shook! brain melted from those twist endings!!)
