Black Feminism wasn't something created by white people. Person who says that dismisses the climate it sprung up in, where it came from, and why so many young women gravitated toward it.
In that era, young people were questioning and challenging all of the rules and mores of society. Including patriarchy. Some challenged it on GP, and then some out of personal experience.
The same racism that beat down, diminished, belittled Black men out in the world caused some of them to turn that frustration towards their families. Black Feminism was in part a reaction to that
There's a Nikki Giovanni/James Baldwin conversation posted here where they both discuss personal experiences with that. Many female writers have written spoken about that experience. Many others wrote about the exploitation of women in the parts of the Black power struggle.
If the young woman in the video looked up Wallace's background, she didn't exactly "come out of nowhere".She's documented forming one of the first Black feminist organizations in the country, maybe 5 years before the book was published.
Black feminists aligned with white feminists when they, and the movement were young. Thought that they were fighting the same struggle, and that the alliance would help them. Years later, many of them reexamined that line of thinking.
As did many of the people who were leading earlier movements that challenged the status quo. Many of them publicly walked back earlier statements, as Wallace did.
Steinem, as white people have done before and since, helped promote things that would ultimately benefit her and her overall agenda, which was to make money & publicly challenge (white) patriarchy.
======================
Those of us from international backgrounds are seeing young women from our cultures pushing back against some of the rules and mores now. Both in the home countries, and in diasporic communities.
And Not because anybody is directing them from remote control
I heard the likes of Steve cokely and even Bobby hemmitt exposing this way back in the 80s and 90s.
The issue is, there are feminist who know this they simply don't care. The upper echelon def been told these things before you can go down their timelines and see regular posters telling them thus. They don't care . It's prototypical selling out. They know reward, sponsorship, articles in major publications , appearances on major platforms, social media influence increasing , etc is on the side of continuing on the agenda. They won't stop because of that. Which is why they blowing a gasket currently over bill Cosby getting released but when issues surround a white male you can hear a mouse piss on cotton on social media.
The young woman in the video reaches several times. I know people in general relax rules of logic and reason when somebody is saying what they want to hear, but she's reaching.
I'm finna bookmark this thread so if I ever run into a black feminist in real life (most likely I'm won't, but just in case if I do), I'm gonna show her this thread.
Angela Davis CIA handler/mentor was also a jew...
Idi Amin was ONLY labeled a dictator and cannibal after he exposed Israel for their crimes in Palestine.
For a group with such a small number they are always deeply involved with a lot of fukkery across the globe.
In my research, i often find it illuminating to look into the family trees of persons of interest. My logic is, if you come from bums, 92% of the time, you'll continue the tradition. Thus, whenever this picture is posted, I'm compelled to re iterate that this woman is Gabby Sidibes aunt. (Gabby's mother was a subway singer and so they actually lived with her sister for while a while, therefore this woman helped raise her). Is Gabby not continuing the family tradition? Was her break out role not facillitated by Lee Daniels, clearly an agent?
I looked into the author of the book Precious was based on and the author even has a very 'curious' background. She, pen name Sapphire , had been an unknown, yet received a whopping $500k from esteemed publisher Random House for a book that, based on reviews, was even more detailed and lurid than the film. I never saw it but Precious was supposed to be underage, right? So was that essentially literary child p***??
The author has written 4 books, including the aforementioned, since 1996, the last written in 2011. Wiki says she lives and "works" in NYC? Doing what? Her biggest paydays have been associated with Push (the book) and the film based on it. Kinda like she had only had one job to do.
Her grandmother was a feminist as well (confirmation of my bum rule), and the first Jewish woman elected to office in the US iirc. Her sister explains how and why a girl from Toledo ended up graduating from a Washington dc school you can't find no information on. The sister is a gem expert (again with the bum rule: grandma's maiden name was Perlmutter, ie one who works with or trades in mother of pearl). This is how wiki describes her occupation during the period her sister must have been living with her.
While in college, Susanne Steinem worked at a jewelry store, and became fascinated by gems. She learned the industry working as buyer in New York and Washington D.C.. She taught gemology classes[5] and hosted a local television show on the subject.
Im not sure of her qualifications, which is why i mentioned the maiden name thing. All i know is, she and her sister attended Smith, an expensive, elite womens college. How? Their family was supposedly broke and the father had left. This might explain it:
During World War II, the campus transformed itself into U.S.S. Northampton, the official training ground for the country’s first women naval officers.
I really don’t see anything wrong with feminism in terms of removing system of oppression based in patriarchy.
For an extreme example: men being able to beat their wives and treat them like slaves because the economic system favors men as breadwinners.
I’m good with that type of feminism.
In another example: black men being forced to be the sole breadwinners while their women can’t work and provide with a similar income in an economic system that shuts black women out of high paying jobs
I’m good with that type of feminism.
I can understand the girl in the OP is showing that black feminism was infiltrated by the CIA to demonize black men and create a rift between the genders.
However, I don’t really understand how that applies modern day. What exactly is the modern day demon that black feminism is perpetuating on black men?
Because everything is tired to white supremacy and racism. So where does modern black feminism supposedly fall? Is it advocating for white supremacy by blaming black men in a myopic sense?
In short: apart from this - how is modern black feminism bad? And no this isn’t a gotcha I’m legitimately trying to understand.
White feminism isn’t a real thing. White women greatly outnumber white men and wouldn’t even get Hilary elected.
White women are on code with their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. Just like Latina and Asian women. Black women are the only ones gullible enough to attempt to put feminist rhetoric into practice.
For the rest of these groups it’s just talk. Their men humor them and allow them to run off at the mouth because at the end of the day they know they will stay on code.
That’s why white men are still shocked at how easy it was to separate our women from us. As a social experiment they never expected it to work so well. It goes against nature.

Because it allows white people to sit back while black women spew anti black male propaganda against black men. We are violent, mysogonist, etc which makes it necessary for stage violence and discrimination to be used against us.
It's really bad. Drs. Tommy Curry and T Hassan Johnson opened my eyes. They can explain it better but, it comes down to government programs ignoring the plight of black men and boys, because the intersectional feminists have the ear of policy makers.
