Hooks wanted to focus on the unique status of black women and their intersectional identity, addressing how most people either discuss Black people regarding racism or white women regarding feminism, but never black women about much of anything.
White women coupled with black slaves for more workers by white men. Laws enacted to prevent this which is kind of good (for the wrong reasons naturally)? Geeked!

I had quite a bit of notes on this which I summarized with ChatGPT which actually maintained most of my wording, just cleaning up the structure a bit, but
Main thing I would want to point out in this update is that hooks has been talking about how black women after emancipation are still seen as hyper sexual objects and assaulted relentlessly, with a mythos paralleling that of black men seen in porn today

There is a funnily modern-sounding quote that was grabbed from some old writing I don’t know if it was 20th or 19th century, describing black women as “getting salty over having to make coffee while the man runs the place.“ the context being about how as black men got voting rates black women were just supposed to be happy for Black people generally and assume the subservient female role dictated by patriarchy and sexism.
