According to the feminist movement, the basic principle of feminist thought is that women should be equal to men politically, economically and socially.

DALLAS—At the tail end of a demonstration against police violence on July 7, 2016 in downtown Dallas, Texas gunshots rang out, police ran for cover and some of them fell to the ground, mortally wounded as pandemonium swept the streets.

We were later to learn that an African, 26-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, a Dallas resident would show the world that Africans too, are capable of having a military response to the military occupation of the African community by the militarized colonial violence of U.S. police agencies who are murdering our people in an effort of containment and terror.
