None of us is exempt, even those of us who read bell hooks and claim to know better. None of us has done enough work to unlearn patriarchy and male dominance, to open ourselves up to true equality and justice, to build new selves. Because none of us has done enough to see the black women standing right there, nursing our wounds and holding the truth of their oppression.
How can black men begin to unlearn patriarchy and also begin to center black women in our liberation movements?
