white man, Pat Hanifan, who outraged a little Afro-American girl, and, from the physical injuries received, she has been ruined for life. He was jailed for six months, discharged, and is now a detective in that city.

But when the victim is a colored woman it is different.

Hundreds of such cases might be cited, but enough have been given to prove the assertion that there are white women in the South who love the Afro-American's company even as there are white men notorious for their preference for Afro-American women.

Although she made no outcry of rape, he was jailed and would have been lynched, but the woman stated she bought curtains of him (he was a furniture dealer) and his business in her room that night was to put them up. A white woman's word was taken as absolutely in this case as when the cry of rape is made, and he was freed.

Some time afterwards the woman's remorse led her to confess to her husband that the man was innocent.

Nobody in this section of the country believes the old thread-bare lie that Negro men rape white women.

Brave woman! you have done your people and mine a service which can neither be weighed nor measured.

Somebody must show that the Afro-American race is more sinned against than sinning, and it seems to have fallen upon me to do so.

Does this mean that the United States is an Islamophobic coun-try? Of course not.

“The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish.”1

Claiming “Islam is an ideology rather than solely a religion,” the class taught that the United States was “culturally vulnerable” to this threat because of its “‘judeo- christian’ [sic] ethic of reason and tolerance.”

religiously mandated practice of giving charity in Islam is no more than a “funding mechanism for combat.”

And a 2011 Gallup survey found that American Muslims were the least likely of any major US religious group to consider attacks on civilians justified.4

Woman, it issaid, is sensual, she wallows in immanence; but first she was enclosedin it.

This is why the masculine world seems to be atranscendent reality, an absolute to her. “Men make gods,” saysFrazer, “and women worship them.”

The woman herself recognizes that the universe as a whole ismasculine; it is men who have shaped it and ruled it and who stilltoday dominate it; as for her, she does not consider herself responsiblefor it; i

or the anti-Semite, the Jew is more anenemy than an inferior, and no place on this earth is recognized as hisown; it would be preferable to see him annihilated.

To prove women’s inferiority, antifeministsbegan to draw not only, as before, on religion, philosophy, andtheology but also on science: biology, experimental psychology, andso forth. At most they were willing to grant “separate but equalstatus” to the other sex.*

“Blessed be the Lord our God, and the Lord of all worlds that has notmade me a woman,” Jews say in their morning prayers; meanwhile,their wives resignedly murmur: “Blessed be the Lord for creating meaccording to his will.”

As bourgeois women, they are insolidarity with bourgeois men and not with women proletarians; aswhite women, they are in solidarity with white men and not withblack women.

Refusing to be the Other, refusing complicity with man,would mean renouncing all the advantages an alliance with thesuperior caste confers on them

Women’s actionshave never been more than symbolic agitation; they have won onlywhat men have been willing to concede to them; they have takennothing; they have received.

Despite her parents’ effort to raise their children in an affirming black context, she has internalized white supremacist values and aesthetics, a way of looking and seeing the world that negates her value.

Here I pause for a moment, to give the world time to consider what was my surprise, to hear such preaching from a minister of my Master [i.e. Jesus Christ], whose very gospel is that of peace and not of blood and whips. . . .

I declare, it is really so amusing to hear the Southerners and Westerners of this country talk about barbarity, that it is positively enough to make a man smile. . . .

They think because they hold us in their infernal chains of slavery, that we wish to be white, or of their color—but they are dreadfully deceived—we wish to be just as it pleased our Creator to have made us, and no avaricious and unmerciful wretches, have any business to make slaves of, or hold us in slavery . . .

Walker also served as a writer, key supporter and Boston subscription agent for the New York-based Freedom’s Journal.
