Many(most) movement spaces are led by brilliant phenomenal #woc #qwoc . We have to acknowledge the tremendous work @thesynead and @umaaraiynaas did !!! +50,000 ppl in #NYC turned out for #MillionsMarchNYC !!! Do not erase that #BlackLivesMatter was started and been led by Black women !! Acknowledging this is also part of the resistance and so critical in many levels ! #NY via @theekatsmeoww
Can we just say they’re Black women?
“Women of color” as a group didn’t do this. Black women—two specific Black women—did.
If Black lives matter, then that includes the accomplishments made by those Black lives. In this instance, calling them WOC is tasteless on an erasure tip.
