Blackfeminists: FGM is not a piece of cake
http://blackfeminists.blogspot.com/2012/04/0-false-18-pt-18-pt-0-0-false-false.html
Tuesday, 17 April 2012. FGM is not a piece of cake. Yesterday another tremor occurred. Another ripple of racism, just one of the many ripples that hide under the guise of humanitarianism or in this case Art. This is an excerpt from a Swedish news website today (below) and here an article from AlJazeera. According to sources the Minister of Culture was invited to initiate the party by doing a ”clitoridectomy” on the cake.’. Not only should the insensitive people cutting the cake be ashamed the artist shou...

Blackfeminists: September 2011
http://blackfeminists.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 17 September 2011. Kanazawa is just a racist who went as far as to get a phd in order to impress upon the world his prejudiced views. It was a hugely insulting piece and entirely irrelevant to any questions of importance today, or yesterday, or indeed for tomorrow, but there we have it. A publicly funded (mostly - ha! Ugly while all other women at least have something of the aesthetic to recommend themselves. Hugely sexist, hugely racist. This much is obvious. I had stopped obsessing about how ...

http://blackfeminists.blogspot.com/2012/04/feminism-is-not-all-white.html
Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Feminism is not All White. Lexy Topping’s article in yesterday’s Guardian. Is cited as the source of information about ‘dozens of new feminist organisations springing up around the UK’. The recent ‘three little pigs’ advertising campaign (promoting open journalism as a means of representing different perspectives) puts The Guardian. The contact details of a representative of the Women's Networking Hub. Would overlook these, and many other important groups. 10 April 2012 at 07:13.

Blackfeminists: Black / White Twins - a tired curiosity
http://blackfeminists.blogspot.com/2012/04/black-white-twins-tired-curiosity.html
Wednesday, 4 April 2012. Black / White Twins - a tired curiosity. In the Guardian about a set of fraternal male twins, with one born 'white' looking and the other born 'black' looking, I felt the fury rise in my throat. Because, I'm sorry, but is this 1976 South Africa, where we actually give our time and effort and direct activity of our brain cells to think about these 'questions'? I mean, what is the assumption here - that quite light looking babies can be born to black people is a remarkable thing?
