“This hatred and our anger are very different.  Hatred is the fury of those who do not share our goals, and its object is death and destruction.  Anger is the grief of distortions between peers, and its object is change.  But our time is getting shorter.  We have been raised to view any difference other than sex as a reason for destruction and for Black women and white women to face each other’s angers without denial or immobilization or silence or guilt is in itself a heretical and generative idea.  It implies peers meeting upon a common basis to examine difference, and alter those distortions which history has created around difference.  For it is those distortions which separate us.”
