Bell Hooks racismmeanbelieve If we are ever to construct a feminist movement that is not based on the premise that men and women are always at war with one another, then we must be willing to acknowledge the appropriateness of complex critical responses to writing by men even if it is sexist.

It doesn't mean that he isn't influenced by racism, but when he wakes up in the morning the thing that's driving his world is really issues of class, economics and power as they articulate themselves. Bell Hooks brothermorningmean Humans are humans. If somebody's mean to you, it's not gonna feel good - no matter if you're a man or a woman. I'm really proud to be a woman.
