Bell Hooks quote: "I think the number one thing Black women and all Black people..."
I think the number one thing Black women and all Black people should be paying attention to is our health. Bell Hooks
There must exist a paradigm, a practical model for social change that includes an understanding of ways to transform consciousness that are linked to efforts to transform structures. Bell Hooks
No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women. Bell Hooks

Changing how we see images is clearly one way to change the world. Bell Hooks

While it has become “cool” for white folks to hang out with black people and express pleasure in black culture, most white people do not feel that this pleasure should be linked to unlearning racism. Bell Hooks
Since we live in a society that promotes faddism and temporary superficial adaptation of different values, we are easily convinced that changes have occurred in arenas where there has been little or no change. Bell Hooks
Whether they are able to enact it as lived practice or not, many white folks active in anti-racist struggle today are able to acknowledge that all whites (as well as everyone else within white supremacist culture) have learned to overvalue “whiteness” even as they simultaneously learn to devalue blackness. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "..Critically intervene in a way that challenges and changes."
..Critically intervene in a way that challenges and changes. Bell Hooks
Writing is my passion. It is a way to experience the ecstatic. The root understanding of the word ecstasy—“to stand outside”—comes to me in those moments when I am immersed so deeply in the act of thinking and writing that everything else, even flesh, falls away. Bell Hooks
When we only name the problem, when we state complaint without a constructive focus or resolution, we take hope away. In this way critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture. Bell Hooks
Bell Hooks quote: "I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and..."
I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply. Bell Hooks
It is obvious that many women have appropriated feminism to serve their own ends, especially those white women who have been at the forefront of the movement; but rather than resigning myself to this appropriation I choose to re-appropriate the term “feminism,” to focus on the fact that to be “feminist” in any authentic sense of the term is to want for all people, female and male, liberation from sexist role patterns, domination, and oppression. Bell Hooks
I still think it's important for people to have a sharp, ongoing critique of marriage in patriarchal society? because once you marry within a society that remains patriarchal, no matter how alternative you want to be within your unit, there is still a culture outside you that will impose many, many values on you whether you want them to or not. Bell Hooks
