Just my take on things

I found this week's materials quite interesting.  There were a number of thngs that stuck out to me,
 however the one that stuck out to me the most was the reading about abortion.  I was apaalled at the
notion that the most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.  I'm personally insulted
by that statement because that means my womb is being considered a death chamber.  Yes African American
are more likely to get an abortion but only but a small percentage.  It says black women have 37% of
abirtions and that white women have 34%, with a small difference like one could consider a white woman's
womb pretty dangerous too.  It's easy to configure percetages in different ways to make the numbers
work to one's advantage in order to present their arguement.  I don't think it's right to label on race
with an issue that transcends all races.  Also, another thing that stuck out to me was our guest speaker.
I respect her views and her right to express them but I didn't particularly appreciate how she presnted
them.  She expressed that she never got her race card, but I didn't really believe her. especially with how
much she did focus on race.  I understand that her view can only come from the perspective of being a black
woman, but I felt like the way she convyed her points seemed more like a black panther member or civil
 rights leader than that of a feminist, even though the definition is so broad.  I understand oppression
but I don't wake up feeling oppressed and like the world is against me even though I know a lot of odds are
against me by being an African American woamn.
