It’s astounding and inspiring and frightening to see/hear people who are almost free of defensiveness, who are this open. Look how simultaneously soft and powerful they are! Doesn’t this alone show us how fearful and tense we always are? Thank you, bell and John.

bell hooks is my hero. I remember, as a young woman in 80s London, lost in confusion as to the raciam I was living through, I came across bell hooks in a small bookstore in London. My world changed for ever, I now had a parameter that has never failed me. Ms Bell is fabulous

I love this- feel the same way- something opened up after encountering her work and refuses to be closed. After her passing - I am committed to rereading her work with a more in-depth examination and commitment to incorporating more of her wisdom. My heart is ready to handle the weight of HER calling. You are so appreciated Gloria Jean Watkins- you will continue to liberate countless men and women. Two women hear are celebrating your legacy. Much love and deepest gratitude 🙏🏽

"Often in my lectures when I use the phrase “imperialist white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy” to describe our nation’s political system, audiences laugh. No one has ever explained why accurately naming this system is funny. The laughter is itself a weapon of patriarchal terrorism." - bell hooks (1952-2021) bell hooks (2004). “The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love”, p.29, Simon and Schuster

wonderful video yet, after hearing the word "signer" I felt as if someone dropped a brick on my chest because they are not signers they are interpreters, they are part of the Deaf/ Deaf Blind/ hard of hearing community. They stand/ sit on stage and bring words to life via their ASL thus please refrain from calling them signers because they are professionals who break communication barriers. Cheers!!

Forgiveness doesn't mean continuing to carry the hurt and pain. It means letting them go , and it go. Wishing them the best and staying away because as long as you stay in that space you will hurt . Janet Jackson said in a song you can let go the pain with out letting go of the memories the good ones.

It depends what you understand by loving...does that mean still continuing to act towards them in loving ways which benefit them and hurt you ? often when we love people like that and that love causes hurt or distress to ourselves then we have to ask ourselves why loving someone else comes at a such a cost to ourselves?

Don't get me wrong-hooks is a treasure, as is powell (and as are all people)-but I wonder if instead of merely naming white, patriarchal, heteronormative, rich people they focused on all people who oppress using race, supremacy, capitalism, patriarchy religion, etc., might it lend greater power and potential to their ostensible message of connection? Help me out. Is this a sort of historical catharsis in focusing on white, supremacist, capitalist patriarchy? I would also have preferred if they would have talked of equity across all intersectionalities and positionalities in their discussion.

So bell hooks intentionally didn't like capitalization of names because she saw capital letters as an unjustified supremacy/hierarchy. On top of that, bell hooks is her professional/stage name that she took on in honor of her grandmother. I don't know about the other person's name.
