M10 Discussion (original post): The Origins of Black Feminism & The Obama Presidency

(Discussion Expectations: Lively discussions are welcome, but in order to meet class expectations, please provide an original post response of at least 200 words to one discussion.

Original Post:  Discuss the origins, development, and ideas of black feminism.  How is it different from, or similar to, white feminism?  What problems have black women specifically had to face and work to overcome? Is this movement related to other movements that are further diversifying perspectives in black communities?

OR

Original Post: Discuss whether the election of Barack Obama indicated the “triumph of black politics”.  What types of opposition has Obama faced as president and why? What remains to be done to improve blacks’ situation in America?  Can these achievements be accomplished supported by Obama's presidency?  Have we seen resistance to African American advancement during the Obama Presidency?
