Toni Morrison feels that White women were not trusted within the Women's Liberation Movement. Black women felt that their color situation had a huge part of it. They felt that if you are not black then you are not like us and you don't have to go through what we have to go through. Black women have the hardest because they are not male, white and they don't represent "lady hood" Black women felt that were different because of moral issues; black women would choose to kept their children instead of aborting them whether it was an inconvenience or not. They felt like White women were ignorant of life and depended on their marriage and male support , which was the opposite of a Black woman. Therefore black women feel that white women can relate to them and they could not "uplift the black race". It was kind of crazy because it jump in how they (whites supposedly) tried to create a model for Black women but still doesn' t reach out to the gender/race. Frances Beales touches on the relationship to white Liberation movement also. I feel like she was saying they had no ties with them because they don't have an anti imperialist and anti racist ideology and they don't talk about the problems of capitalism and the racism problem. White women complain about men being Chauvinistic but Black women don't mind the power being in the Black men because that means it is liberation for the whole race. However the Black panther Political party felt that women were apart of the Liberation movement but they didn't regard women as equal to then quietly in the organization. However they do post recruitment signs and say BLACK MEN boldly. I don't know if its the Black Panther Articles but i think it is but one leader talks about women in leadership by being prone" so women were being discriminated inside the party as well."
