      ... appropriates the experience of enslaved black women. We feel more sympathy for white women's fiction than black womens reality.

      What bothered me most about @MargaretAtwood's Handmaid's Tale is that June/Offred gets to claim a past. The privilege of a full story.

      Enslaved black women are never imagined to have a past. Their story is enslavement. Full stop.

      We never hear about the families enslaved black women had, where they grew up, the pastimes they enjoyed.

      June/Offred not only appropriates black women's enslavement, but she also gets to claim a past. It feels especially violent to me.

      But we've glossed over that -- never even saw that violence mentioned. Now we're joking around about having Drake in the next installment.

      And now we're supposed to accept that fertility is just suddenly more important than race? Really?pic.twitter.com/oUcP2SCDmb

      Even liberal California has forced the sterilization of women of color -- as recently as 2010 in its prisons. This is still a thing.

      It's 2017 and black women are FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DIE AFTER CHILDBIRTH THAN WHITE WOMEN. This is true across wealth/income levels.

      When I saw that it was Junot Díaz interviewing Margaret Atwood, I assumed some of this would come up. It didn't. I'm disappointed.

      This is about fiction but Atwood makes tons of references to reality. Cambodia's Khmer Rouge. Germany's holocaust. Argentina's dictatorship.

          The one glaring omission in the interview? Enslavement in the United States. How you talk about the entire world but not mention this?

          That's cool and all that Díaz and Atwood joke around about Drake. But I can't imagine a black woman interviewing Atwood and doing this.

          Díaz gives Atwood pass after pass. He essentially accepts Atwood's white womanhood as the universal womanhood. Nah.

          This speaks to the lack of faith in public intellectual women of color. So much to unpack here, but we can't rely on men of color to do it.
