The first time I came across that quote from Audre Lorde it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Somebody understood the power and gender dynamic within which black women's lives operate. I fund this on Son of Baldwin's page today and had to share it. The article is attached at the bottom of the page. He has summed up my frustration on this issue "We come up with spiritual and political excuses to exempt ourselves from blame. We point out exceptions in order to discredit the rule."
While racism does exist and it is a problem one injustice shouldn't overide another.
