As a young biracial woman, however, I have been in college classes where I felt completely alienated. One white female professor was visibly shaken by the fact that I attempted to talk about women of color. Not in a “on-behalf-of-ALL-WOC” way, but in a way that hopefully would encourage open dialogue. It was a Women’s Studies course. I wanted to know how feminism benefits people like me…does it really?

You mentioned the black woman who shared her painful experiences with racism, then having those experiences basically dismissed because some random chick is overcome with “white guilt” and starts to boo-hoo. Seriously. People were there patting her on the back?!

Not to be mean, but somebody should have said: “It isn’t about YOU, honey”. Did she expect a cookie or something? I hate it when some people attempt to divert attention away from the issue at hand by pretending that they’re oh-so-sorry. How does that help the situation?

The whole notion of white guilt is ridiculous to me. I respect people who actually are willing to hold a real conversation about race without getting all weird about it.

But no, no jokes about ugly women — no negative comments about women at all, actually. My personal belief is that Kamau has refined and focused himself a lot in the last few years (remember, this video is 4 years old), and that includes looking at power structures in general, which made him ready for doing anti-racism. But that doesn’t show here. -_-

Hmm. Maybe I should put a different video in. Yeah, I think I will.

I’d like to think that my show is anti-hate in general. Specifically, anti-sexism. anti-homophobia, and of course anti-racism.

Check it out for yourself and see. My last show in NYC is Saturday the 29th.
