Blog O' Da Week!

It's Friday, which means Rudat Art has been Blog O' Da Week for over a week now! Hey, we're just getting this ship sailing, people. And Susan gets another shout-out.

Now I'd like to introduce you all to a blog I've been reading in the past weeks... I don't really remember how I came across it, but the author's voice is so solid and steadfast and loving and angry, I've been loving every little bit. It's a blog that has been making me think and sometimes, it's difficult to read, but I feel like maybe I'm learning something?

What About Our Daughters?

WAOD is not an unknown blog, but it's new to me. With the current discourse about sex and race via the Democratic Race for the Nom, the issues are up in our faces as much as we might try to run and hide and pretend they don't exist. I will never know what it's like to be Black, but I sure know what it's like to be a woman and thankfully the great Creator or whatever equipped most of us humanoids with something called empathy. I read WAOD and I get so sad and angry about articles like this and like this. Yeah, there's bad shit going on all over the world. Yeah, racism and sexism exists against everyone, no matter what your color or sex is. This little corner of the blogosphere is helping me to understand the shit the world puts my Black sisters through a little better perhaps. And yes, I can use the word "sisters" - I use it all the time. I believe in a sisterhood of women!

I hope that, if the author of WAOD happens to stumble across this, that she knows that this white girl loves reading.

You can also donate to the blog too if you end up loving it!
