guardiancomment: Photograph: Molly Riley/Reuters Who are you calling angry? We asked five black women to  explain how they feel about the ‘angry black woman’ image the first lady says she has been saddled with. Extract by Angry Black Bitch: There’s plenty to be angry about – the fact that black women in America are three times more likely to die in childbirth than white women, the race-baiting, anti-abortion billboard campaign in America that claims that black women’s wombs are the most dangerous place for black babies, the way that poverty is only worthy of discussion now that white, middle-class people are feeling the pain. My father used to say that if a person isn’t angry then they aren’t paying attention. I say that if you aren’t angry, the odds are you are one of the people pissing me off.

Who are you calling angry?

We asked five black women to  explain how they feel about the ‘angry black woman’ image the first lady says she has been saddled with. Extract by Angry Black Bitch:

There’s plenty to be angry about – the fact that black women in America are three times more likely to die in childbirth than white women, the race-baiting, anti-abortion billboard campaign in America that claims that black women’s wombs are the most dangerous place for black babies, the way that poverty is only worthy of discussion now that white, middle-class people are feeling the pain.

My father used to say that if a person isn’t angry then they aren’t paying attention. I say that if you aren’t angry, the odds are you are one of the people pissing me off.
