The #MeToo movement continues to evolve, and Tarana Burke, the movement's founder, offers insightful commentary on the recent allegations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Burke discusses the significance of these accusations, the changing tide of public opinion, and the importance of a movement that extends beyond high-profile figures. A History of Whispers and a New Era of Accountability For years, rumors swirled around Diddy's alleged misconduct. As Burke states, "people have heard grumblings and whispers" about him. However, the question remained: would there ever be any true consequences? Diddy Allegations The landscape has shifted dramatically in recent months. Following a sexual assault lawsuit filed by singer Cassie, a flurry of additional accusations emerged, including rape, sexual assault, and trafficking. These claims, coupled with a raid on Diddy's homes by federal agents, forced him to step down from his role as CEO of Revolt TV and resulted in the loss of several brand deals. Why Now? The Evolving Zeitgeist Burke highlights a crucial difference between the Diddy situation and past cases like R. Kelly and Russell Simmons. "The zeitgeist has changed," she asserts. "People are ready to believe the survivors who are coming forward." This shift in public opinion is attributed, in part, to the groundwork laid by the #MeToo movement. The tireless efforts of survivors and advocates have challenged the status quo and fostered a growing sense of accountability. Burke emphasizes the historical struggle for Black communities, particularly women of color, to be heard and believed when speaking out against sexual assault. "We haven't had the luxury of being able to come forward," she says. The Diddy allegations, therefore, represent a turning point, a testament to the collective power of the #MeToo movement. Beyond Diddy: A Movement for All While the allegations against Diddy are significant, Burke emphasizes a broader message. She acknowledges the symbolic importance of holding a powerful figure accountable, yet cautions against focusing solely on this individual case. "The movement has to be bigger than Diddy," Burke declares. The harm caused by sexual violence extends far beyond one person. It's essential, she argues, to recognize the ongoing struggles within communities across the country. By shining a light on high-profile cases, the movement can serve as a blueprint for addressing similar issues at the local level. Burke emphasizes the collective power of individuals to demand change. The #MeToo movement is not simply a hashtag; it thrives on the actions of everyday people who speak out against injustice. A Conversation on Homophobia and Accountability The interview delves into the complexities surrounding the allegations against Diddy, including the issue of homophobia within the Black community. Burke acknowledges the discomfort some may feel discussing sexual assault against men, but underscores the importance of addressing all forms of sexual violence. Key Takeaways The Diddy allegations represent a potential turning point for the #MeToo movement in the music industry. A shift in public opinion has made victims more likely to be believed. The movement must address the specific challenges faced by Black communities. The power of the #MeToo movement lies in collective action and the demand for accountability.

#Herstory #UnDíaComoHoy
#TaranaBurke (Nueva York, 12/9/1973) es una #activista por los derechos civiles estadounidense, reconocida por haber fundado el movimiento #MeToo. Creció en Bronx, NY, en una familia de clase trabajadora. Fue violada y asaltada sexualmente siendo niña y adolescente. Su madre apoyó su recuperación y la animó a involucrarse en la comunidad. Estas experiencias la inspiraron a trabajar para mejorar la vida de las jóvenes que pasan por estas dificultades. Asistió a la Universidad Estatal de Alabama y después a Auburn donde organizó conferencias y protestas sobre la justicia económica y racial. Se trasladó a Selma, Alabama (1989) después de su graduación. Tras trabajar con sobrevivientes de #violenciasexual, desarrolló la organización #JustBe en 2003, un programa para jóvenes negras de 12-18 años. En 2006 fundó el movimiento Me Too y comenzó a usar esa frase para concienciar sobre la omnipresencia del abuso y la agresión sexual en la sociedad. En 2017, el hashtag #MeToo se hizo viral cuando muchas mujeres empezaran a usarlo para tuitear sobre el escándalo de los casos de #abusosexual contra #HarveyWeinstein. La frase y el hashtag se convirtieron en un movimiento de base amplia e internacional. El 15/10/2017, Burke fue notificada de que el hashtag estaba siendo utilizado en línea, y decidió dar forma al movimiento sobre el "empoderamiento de la empatía". Time nombró a Burke, y a otras activistas, como la Persona del Año de 2017. Fue asesora de la película Selma de 2014, basada en el Domingo sangriento. En 2018 asistió a la 75ª ed. de los Globo de Oro como invitada de la actriz #MichelleWilliams. Recibió el Premio Reindehour al Valor en 2018, otorgado a las personas que demuestran una defensa valiente del interés público y un compromiso con la justicia social, por haber popularizado la frase "Me Too" como una forma de empatizar con las sobrevivientes de agresiones sexuales. Burke es la directora de la organización #Girlsfor GenderEquity, en la que organiza talleres para ayudar a mejorar las políticas en escuelas, lugares de trabajo y lugares de culto, y se centra en ayudar a las víctimas a no culparse por la violencia sexual. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiaQtZ1Dxpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#metoo. This hashtag wasn't created for Harvey Weinstein because he is not the first sexual predator of the Internet era. But he is one of the most powerful ones. #metoo was founded by Tarana Burke in 2006 with the aim to help the survivors of sexual violence, mainly from the marginalized communities. But it became a major topic later, in 2017, when first accusations od sexual violence in Hollywood started to surface. It was no longer about nameless predators that Burke fought, but about a rich white man. #metoo movement grew - and found itself in a more complicated position. Most people will acknowledge that sexual predators exist - in some dark alley, probably. But when the perpetrator is someone as powerful as Weinstein, nobody rushes to believe what is happening. What if someone less successful is just trying to get back at him? And anyway, that's how women get ahead - by sleeping with powerful men. Even if that was true, it doesn't mean that it is what they want. The allegations against Weinstein included unwanted physical contact, exposure, attempted rape and rape. The powerful producer who influenced the Oscars thought himself to be safe from consequences - no woman would risk him destroying her career. He was known to be a pig and he lured the actresses to meetings promising that his assistant will be present. She always left. When it all came to light, she committed suicide. Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in jail and other famous men were revealed to be predators. The problem isn't any one of the individual perpetrators, but the culture that downplays their crimes, doesn't believe the victims or shifts blame to them and acts as if sexual violence on weaker, poorer or younger people is something tolerable. David Graeber wrote a column for Guardian in 2017 where he points out that even for him, a lefty academic versed in feminist theory, his initial reaction to systemic sexual violence was "sure it can't be that bad." It can, it is and it will be, if we continue to tolerate predators around us and stay silent. The only way to change things is not to leave a single sleazy comment without a response and a single sexual attack without consequences.

#metoo. Tento hashtag nevznikl kvůli Harveymu Weinsteinovi, protože Weinstein nebyl prvním prasákem internetové éry. Byl ale jedním z těch nejmocnějších. Kampaň #metoo zahájila v roce 2006 Tarana Burke s cílem pomáhat obětem sexuálního násilí, především ženám z řad etnických a sexuálních menšin. Ale až roce 2017 se z #metoo stalo velké téma když první ženy začaly promlouvat o sexuálním násilí v Hollywoodu. Protože nešlo o bezejmenné násilníky, jejimž obětem pomáhala Burke, ale o bohatého bílého muže, #metoo dostalo nový rozměr. A taky se ocitlo ve výrazně těžší pozici. Většina lidí je ochotná uznat, že sexuální predátoři existují - nejspíš v nějaké temné uličce. Jakmile ale jde o někoho tak mocného jako Weinstein, jsou s jeho odsouzením všichni opatrní. Co když se mu chce pomstít někdo méně úspěšný? A vůbec, ženy přece kariéru dělají přes postel. Ta věta může být i pravdivá - jenže už neříká nic o tom, jestli to dělají dobrovolně. Obvinění, která od roku 2017 Weinsteina zasypala, obsahovala nechtěné doteky, odhalování se, pokusy o znásilnění i znásilnění. Mocný producent, který měl obrovský vliv na udělování Oscarů, si myslel, že se mu nemůže nic stát - žádná žena přece nebude riskovat, že jí zničí kariéru. Weinstein měl pověst prasáka a herečky lákal na schůzky s příslibem, že bude přítomná jeho asistentka. Ta ale vždy odešla. Když vše vyšlo najevo, spáchala sebevraždu. Weinstein byl odsouzen k 23 letům vězení a následovala odhalení dalších mocných a slavných násilníků. Problém přitom není v žádném konkrétním prasákovi, ale v kultuře, která jejich jednání zlehčuje, jejich obětem nevěří nebo na ně přenáší vinu a ze sexuálního násilí na lidech v podřízené pozici - ať už penězi, postavením nebo věkem - dělá něco tolerovatelného. David Graeber napsal v roce 2017 pro Guardian sloupek, ve kterém mimo jiné mluví o tom, jak dokonce i on, levicový intelektuál zběhlý ve feministické teorii, na případy systematického sexuálního násilí původně reagoval ve stylu "ale tak hrozné to snad být nemůže." Může, je a bude, pokud budeme tolerovat predátory kolem nás a mlčet. Jediným řešením je nenechat žádnou oplzlou poznámku bez komentáře a žádný sexuální útok bez následků.

Unbound -Tarana Burke

Black women and girls don’t receive the same compassion and exposure when they share their me too moment. In my eyes we don’t get the same putpirijng as white women because of the trauma adreomted to the essence of black women in bondage and the inherited hate and disdain for black bodies from that history. Our validity for our humanity is negated by the insidious understanding that we are…
