There are several aspects of June Jordan's piece of literature, "A New Politics of Sexuality," which was delivered to a live audience at Stanford University in 1991, that challenge conventional views of gender. What was surprising about the address was the fact that the general motif revolved about comparisons between racism and sexism. Although there is a definite history of this sort of parallel in the United States (stemming from early supporters of women's rights embracing the abolitionist movement), it was a little surprising to see an African-American woman readily accepting and even calling for such a comparison. Most of the African-Americans I am aware of in contemporary times shun such a comparison, and do not believe that they should be likened to homosexuals simply because there are more Caucasians that African-Americans in the country.
