Epitomize Epistemology. Black feminist thoughts are unified thoughts. This page discusses the issue of Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality From a universal standpoint. African American women find strength in their unique bonds of kinship and sisterhood. Black Feminist Epistemology, a term produced by Patricia Hill Collins, argues that sexism, class oppression, and racism are indistinguishably bonded together.

"..Feminist Epistemology strives to identify ways in which the dominate conceptions and practices of knowledge systematically disadvantage women."

There is no essential or archetypal black woman whose experiences stand as normal, normative, and are thereby authentic.Patricia Collins encourages people to challenge the validation process, marked to be truth.

Empiricism v.s Rationalism

Empiricism Theory of knowledge that grasps that all knowledge comes from and must be tested by sense experience, data that comes to us from our five senses. Emphasizing the role of experience and the affects it embeds in our minds.

Rationalism Theory of knowledge that argues that our senses may be wrong, and that reason is our prime groundwork and validation of what we know to be true. Rationalism is the idea that reason is more important that experience.

Political Standards

Political standards are used to manipulate the knowledge validation process. First, Knowledge claims are evaluated by a group of excerpts whose members bring with them a host of sedimented experiences that reflect their group location in intersecting oppression's. Scholars making knowledge claim typically must convince a scholarly community controlled by elite white avowedly heterosexual men holding U.S citizenship that a given claim is justified. Second, Each community of excerpts must maintain its credibility as defined by the larger population in which it is situated and from which it draws its basic, taken for granted knowledge. This means that scholarly communities that challenge the basic beliefs held in U.S culture at large will be deemed less credible that those that support popular ideas.

Social Contributes

Social factors that contribute to the ways in which we as humans know things. Patricia Collins adds the idea that Black feminist struggle to justify the credibility of the knowledge they posses due to the oppressive process by which knowledge is validated. Patricia Collins argues that the politics or race and gender also influence knowledge. Collins deconstruction of the ways in which knowledge is validated suggest that knowledge is bias in favor to the dominate groups. Ultimately allowing the dominant groups to silence subordinate groups. Dominate knowledge disadvantages woman by excluding them from the inquiry by denying them epistemic authority, and producing theories of women to make them the inferior gender.
