#The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house
week 1: popular
This quote speaks indirectly to people who probably say “I have black friends” or “I do not see color” (white people), this is the most nerve wrecking thing someone can say when you are clearly talking about race. White people who say this are just letting us as a Black community know that they do not want to acknowledge because they see what is going on it! Also, they are not taking the time to comprehend something their ancestors created that still in place today and has just as much effect as it did in the past as it does now. For the Black community even though we have differences amongst ourselves, but we all have one thing that brings us together, as one and that is our skin color. At the end of the day we all get criminalized, oppressed, and sought out after.
This quote speaks directly to the Black community because survival is a concept of “street” knowledge that comes from stratification. Standing alone and being unpopular is something that Black people are too familiar with and it is not because they want to, but it is because they have too! From a very early age I was taught that I am different and it was not because of my name, hair texture, or what I was wearing, it was simply because of my skin color. We were brought into this world alone and that is how we will leave it!
You cannot dismantle the Master's House by using the Master's Tools.
Audre Lorde
For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.
Audre Lorde
**********classic foundational intersectionality*********** Lorde, Audre. “The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House.” 1984. Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches. Ed.Berkeley, CA: Crossing Press. 110-114. 2007.Print.
“As women, we have been taught either to ignore our differences, or to view them as causes for separation and suspicion rather than as forces for change. Without community there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression. But community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.”
SPOILER WARNING
The master’s house can’t actually be dismantled. I’ll settle for a few knocked down walls and fancy interior decorating
