   POSTED TO HER FB PAGE...ABOUT WHITE ACTRESSES NOT BEING ON THE COVERS OF ESSENCE MAGAZINE AND THE LIKE...

With love and respect to all parties involved, my question is this ... if we ask our white sisters, who tend to be the guardians of the covers of mainstream magazines, to consider women of color to grace these covers, should we not offer the same consideration to white women to grace our covers? 

Should women extend their power to other women simply because they are women? To my women of color, I am clear we must have something of our own, but is it possible to share in the spirit in which we ask our white sisters to share with us? I don't know the answer and would love to hear your thoughts. 

Will there ever be a day in which women will be able to see each other beyond race, class, and culture?" Clearly that day's not today. Or tomorrow. Or next week. . .
