ABSTRACT
Confronted by the young black women to whom sexism was not important, the author felt that feminism had failed to develop a politics that addresses black women. The aim of Ain't IA Woman was not to focus on the racism of white women. She did not try to examine the ways that struggling to end sexism would benefit black people, but this is her current concern. In some settings it has become a way of one-upping white women for black women to trivialize feminism. Black women must separate feminism as a political agenda from white women or never be able to focus on the issue of sexism as it affects black communities. Even though there are a few black women who assert that empowers by using the term feminism, by addressing the concerns as black women as well as the concern with the welfare of the human community globally, we have had little impact.
