Developing friendships between black and white women has been difficult for many years. Although black and white women share common gray spaces, it is the effects of racism that have caused a culture to seemingly be placed higher on the hierarchical ladder. The perceived distance created limitations for both races which consequently created a wall of silence and lack of solidarity. Even though the oppression and wounds of the past have prolonged the repair of what could become authentic healing, there are still positive opinions about what could be accomplished if women of all races came together to form a bond with each other. Drawing on the perspectives of a white writer and culture, I will discuss the limits placed on black and white women and how the two might form a place of reconciliation. In Can't Quit You Baby, Tweet (also known as Julia) the black housekeeper and Cornelia, the privileged white woman, meet and a relationship served by servitude is established. According to the article Holding My Sister's Hand: Feminist Solidarity, a servitude relationship is "a hierarchical, power-based relationship unmediated by sexual desire" (94). This in terms represents the privilege that white women have compared to black women even if they belonged to the same social class. In the text we see that Cornelia is a middle class woman who stays at home working with Tweet in the kitchen while both of their husbands work. The kitchen represents a place of familiarity and commonality within expected roles. In other words, even though Cornelia was considered a superior position to Tweet, they still had a form of common ground reinforced by gender oppression where all men were seen as superior to women in society. As stated before, there are some things that Corn... middle of paper... hit a woman's home. Since Douglas is white, could this story of reconciling a relationship with a black woman be his way of trying to get a movement going? The first step towards reconciliation is listening and understanding, but we must also be willing to speak openly and make our voices heard. Women of all races need to understand the difference that each culture brings to the table. Every race has some kind of positive experience to offer, but can we all put our differences aside to solve this problem? The sad part is that even if there is common ground, within that commonality lies fear. When will fear push us to build a bridge instead of running away from the tools to repair it? It's all a matter of time, but if we put together all the hurts, pain, strength and wisdom of the past gained from the lessons, we would form a sisterhood that could be indestructible..
