Blac (k) ademic

Published by Kortney Ryan Ziegler, M.A. : My reasons for blogging are many, but most important, I blog to improve my writing, to connect with other bloggers of color, and to provide a space where my research has an audience outside of academia.

woman of color blog

From BrownFemiPower's blog : "i am currently a graduate student in creative writing at Eastern Michigan University--holy crap, it's a chicana who writes! my mission in life is to make lots of money (as demonstrated by my women's studies undergraduate degree and my creative writing masters degree) and to end violence in all its forms against women of color and their communities. i respect resistance but get turned on by those who create power."

Some of the most interesting discussions about how mainstream feminism can be a tool of imperialism have happened in BFPs. They take me back to my days in college and my years of rebelliousness. I love her site for that. If you want feminist infotainment, go elsewhere. If you want to have real questioning discussions about the matter, run over to BFPs blog and tell her I sent you.

Words to live by

They dance and strip for free while some jerk-off makes a fortune selling videos of them. Looking dumbfounded when she learned that the girls don't get paid for their exposure, Oprah remarked, "Okay, that really is stupid." No kidding.

But, wait! It gets worse. It is not just that women are exploiting their bodies "for free", they are forking out tons of money to look like all the women they see on television. Oprah had four teenagers from Florida on the show. These young girls spend thousands of dollars to imitate celebrity styles and one is already planning on getting breast implants. Are these young women just a rare exception? Come on. Who hasn't spent a ridiculous amount of money on highlights, or bikini waxes, or some other please-make-me-be-sexy type thing?

We are literally buying into our oppression. People are profiting off the exploitation of girls and women, and then taking our money as we each try to add up to the narrow formula of sexy that bombards us.
