Sexism

In Neal's New Black Man, he emphasizes the "small percentage of black women in attendance that day" (17). Neal offers the perspective of Debra Dickerson, a woman writer who attended the march: "Dickerson noted the aura of politeness and chivalry she experienced walking...there was an element of performance taking place that day for international media, corporate America" (17). The Million Man March that excluded black women was a "call for atonement [that] spoke to the need for those black men engaged in acts of criminality, violence, and blatant misogyny" (Neal 16). However, black women faced backlash for exposing the March's flaws, such as "gender apartheid and nostalgia for patriarchy."
