revolution

Can equality of black women be something that can happen in the world? In the Black Feminist Statement, it mentions how difficult women’s struggles were. Black men got the right to vote way before black women. It was a disconcerting to me that men were not equal to women and men can abuse female and further blame women for rape back in the 1980s. For example, white men could rape black women as a weapon of political repression. Black women have to experience and struggle against racism, sexism, and classism. In class we discussed how black women’s liberation means the liberation for all. But in order for the equality to be reached, I believe revolution should be the only method to end oppression. What would the world be like if revolution really happen? Would violence be the only way to deal with conflicts? I believe violence is not necessarily the right way to change the rights for black women; even if violence is used, can equality for black women be reached? Not necessarily. I believe it is not impossible to establish equality between genders peacefully without violence. It just takes a long while for society to change.
