Which is why I said in some ways. Black folks during slavery and before segregation ended, in general lead lives of less violence, crime, better health and safer communities. Yes, they still had major cons such as being slaves or not having the same rights, but where they were once chastised by a white man they are now at war with other black folks in the drug infested ghettos. Where once they got punished for offending the master, they now get sent to jail for a bag of pot. Where they once received no education at all, they now receive the most shitty education possible in poor, run down schools when more affluent people get sent to private school. Some things have definitely become better, but I think it's a bit unfair to call their situation a success just because they are free and equal. As I said, if you were crafty you could get yourself into a decent position in life even during slavery, so it's not all black and white, no pun intended. I use this as an example of how "extremism" and "misguided activism" can have detrimental effects and are not just justified means for perceived end goals.
Apart from that tacking on at the end I felt she spelt a very inordinate time and focus on the western world. It doesn't quite look like water carrying women in Africa was the thing that inspired her (now that I could get behind).
