The Erasure of Black Women from History with Dr Janet D Bell | Black America

[@midoscent]

We don't need validation...never expected it...we are great in our own light...as a body of a people we are magical...our very existence in itself is monumental...look at what we are surviving!!

Nobody mentioned Fannie Lou Hamer MFDP.

Bless them. God knows them... Tahirih ("Pure One") was a poetess & Baha'i Faith martyr. Her last words just before her strangulation in 1852 were: “You can kill me as soon as you like, but you will never stop the emancipation of women.” (Táhirih called to me and asked me to go to the Chief of Police with a special request. “It seems that they wish to strangle me,” she said. “Long ago, I set aside a silk handkerchief which I hoped would be used for this purpose. I deliver it into your hands and I want you to ask that drunkard to use it for the purpose of taking my life.”)

NO SUCH THING AS "GENDER!" IT'S "SEX!"

I just don't understand why black women feel erased from the history of black struggle. Angela Davis, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Elaine Brown, Shirley Chisolm, Kathleen Cleaver, Madame CJ Walker. Black people need to stop playing identity politics with each other. We all lose.

Do more research to find out why... Check out the book "When and Where I Enter" by Paula Giddings, amongst other books/historical facts.

Your lack of understanding for this very issue most likely stems from a lacking in the desire to understand

Why would you as a black man “understand” why we innerstand our erasure. The black man came out of her and her history starts from where you named these few people. We built the first civilizations before we gave life to man. Where is that information. We were enslaved before white men did it. The white man was merely taught everything by our own men. We were already dethroned with a new head. The weirdest part is our creations telling us how they came to be and what was here before they were born 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ logically doesn’t work and exactly why the world is in shambles now. The destructive man wanting to be like his creator. The first war, the real only issue. Everything else is karma for him sharing the word he stole. No man shall have the word. The unearthing is here though so you and all like you will learn soon
