"I asked a young White woman why she was studying social anthropology. She replied that she was hoping to go to Zimbabwe, and felt that she could help women there by advising them how to organize. The Black women in the audience gasped in astonishment. Here was someone scarcely past girlhood, who had just started university and had never fought a war in her life. She was planning to go to Africa to teach female veterans of a liberation struggle how to organize! This is the kind of arrogant, if not absurd attitude we encounter repeatedly. It makes one think: Better the distant armchair anthropologists than these ‘sisters’."
-African feminist Ifi Amadiume
(via newwavefeminism)
In case you wondered why POC anywhere are loathe to take advice re: protesting/organizing from white folks.

the hamartia disease
Mosquito had asked Ear to marry him, whereupon Ear fell on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. "How much longer do you think you will live?" she asked. "You are
already a skeleton."
Mosquito went away humiliated, and any time he passed her way he told Ear that he was still alive.
