I woke up this morning and went to twatter. I looked up an article that Dorian Warren posted. And I read that Zora Neale Hurston opposed Brown vs. the Board of Education. Yesterday, I read an article about Brown Vs The Board Of Education that said that would need to force desegregation (busing students there and back) in our schools again because that was what allowed african-american students (Dorian Warren's generation) to succeed. So I was like fuck you Zora, you ignorant bitch!
But then... I got home from my walk and googled Zora and read some more things. And she actually had very interesting reasons for not liking Brown Vs. The Board Of Eduction. She believed that through the use of black action, reliability, and economic gain not through the help of white government/people should blacks receive equality. That is very powerful I think. So now I am just confused as fuck.
Also, her views of gender equality are very interesting. I need to read more of her work though.
So much to read,
Stuart
Hm, very interesting. I wonder what she means by black action and reliability, though. As in community activism?

also: what is Twatter?
ReplyDeletesounds dirty.
She seems to be like a black separatist. Which is a respectable ideology. Here's a wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_separatism
