From my snob reader (and real life, long-time friend) Tiffany, an NPR sound clip about Kimberle Crenshaw and Farai Chideya discussing Chideya's response to Gloria Steinem's controversial, black men versus white women op-ed piece in the times and other grumblings over who should be "America's 'first' in the Oval office — a black person or a woman."Chideya makes some good points about how this debate is damaging and debilitating because feminists have argued in the past against "ranking" their struggle along the struggle of others, but now that is exactly what they're doing. She feels as a black feminist Ferraro and Steinem are making it harder for black feminists who want to reach out to their own.
