"It is clearer now to African women, who hoped to coax white women into caring about us through intersectional coalitions, that white women are part of the oppressor nation and as such, have a vested interest in the exploitation and oppression of people internationally and inside the U.S., just like their male counterparts.That’s why we say that “there is no such thing as women in general”—the idea that all women are oppressed by patriarchy—is a false concept that obscures the colonial question by equating the experiences of white women of the oppressor nation to the oppression experienced by African women. There is no commonality.The oppressor white nation, which includes white women, acquires what they have at the expense of African and other oppressed people.African women’s primary enemy has always been our colonial oppressor—the white imperialist nation—that has held the power over our lives since it first attacked Africa." Yejide Orunmila President, African National Women’s Organization Art For Reparations (A4R) is a project of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement that challenges the parasitic white art world which has profited off of the labor, genius and resources of African people since the birth of colonialism and Europe’s assault on Africa. A4R raises material resources to working-class African people and offers white artists the opportunity to separate ourselves from the parasitism of the colonial, euro-centric, gentrifying and capitalist art institutions and music industry by allowing us to instead use our creativity to forward the African revolution, building towards a socialist economy lead by the African People's Socialist Party.
