forte-fievre:



I am not in favor of “support all brown women” because it precludes the need to see what kind of brown women I will be supporting as a fellow brown woman. I need to know their ideology and their ethics and their understanding of the current world order to see if I give a fuck about them or not. If they are liberal brown women who have little to say about what is going on in the world because they are too busy assimilating into the normative, I don’t care for them. They are not my sisters. The same goes for women of any other race. “Support all brown women” quickly becomes a catchphrase that ignores the material reality and differences between brown women. We are not identical in our goals. We are not all sisters.
