Peer #1- This week, we had the opportunity to learn about women of color′s perception through different reading material regarding how it affects women. The main argument that was present this week was the importance of how women of color are perceived in the United States. In my experience as an American woman of color, we are perceived as lazy, ghetto, irresponsible, and loud. Before this week, I have not thought about how many people perceived women of color. Mainly due to attending a minority-based high school and having a diverse group of friends that weren′t into perceptions, stereotypes, and racist commentary. Sexualization and race are two concepts that emerged through this week′s reading for me. In the article, ″ Selling Hot Pussy representation of black womens sexuality,″ Bell Hooks mentions the sexualization of black women′s breasts. ″As we entered the dessert place, they all burst into laughter and point to a row of gigantic chocolate breast complete with nipples- huge edible tits. They think this is a delicious idea- seeing no connection between the racialized image and the racism expressed in the entryway.″(Hooks 122). This quote demonstrates the sexualization of black women that Hook saw take place in a dessert shop along with racism. The group of people she entered the shop with failed to realize the long history of black females′ breasts. Black females were considered ″mammies″ because they were to nurture white babies. Hook also explains the racism she faced before entering the shop. ″As we walked past a group of white men standing in the entryway to the place, we overhear them talking about us, saying that my campions, who are all white, must be liberals from the college, not regular ″townies″ to be hanging out with a ″nigger.″ (Hooks 122).″ This shows the racism that she experienced with her friends, who acted as though they didn′t hear the conversation or defend their friend. I think something that resonated with me the most this week was the much-needed understanding of women of color′s sexuality and race play in their lives. For example in, ″Lesbian Separtism,″ Barbara and Beverly Smith talk about how the issues of lesbian separatism affect different races. ″What white lesbians have against lesbians of color is that they accuse us of being ″male-identified″ because we are concerned with issues that affect our wrhole race. (Cherríe Moraga 121).″ This quote demonstrates the racial separation that lesbians of color face at the hands of white lesbians simply because of their desire to bring attention to their race issues. The reading this week has made me realize that it is crucial to recognize the differences between others. That no one person should be treated any different than another based on their preference. Along with that, it is essential to correct the perception of women of color. It has impacted how I see other U.S women of color being treated based on their race and sexuality.
