In Brittney Cooper’s world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. It reminds women that they don’t have to settle for less. It’s what makes Michelle Obama an icon.Įloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It’s what makes Beyoncé’s girl power anthems resonate so hard.
Black women’s eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player.
But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Far too often, Black women’s anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy.
