“Usually, when people talk about the “strength” of black women they are referring to the way in which they perceive black women coping with oppression. They ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.” #bellhooks

This book 📖 took me awhile and I may not agree with everything said, but I think reading it was worth it for this paragraph alone. The YouTube channel PopCulture Detective recommended it for me. Now, let‘s destroy the patriarchy 🔥!
