This essay is a response to the events surrounding Hypatia's publication of “In Defense of Transracialism.” It does not take up the question of “transracialism” itself, but rather attempts to shed light both on what some black women may have experienced following from the publication of the article and on how we might understand this experience as harm. It also suggests one way for feminist journals to reduce the likelihood of similar harms occurring in the future. I begin by describing a discussion that occurred in my classroom that bears some resemblance to the much larger debate that emerged around Hypatia. Next, I elaborate a concept of imperial harm. I then address how this concept comes to be relevant to the experience of black women within the discipline of philosophy in general, before briefly describing how academic feminism (including feminist philosophy) has served as a particular site of imperial harm for black women. Finally, touching on the idea of expressive harm, I conclude with an appeal for the adoption of more feminist publication ethics.

关于黑人妇女，“捍卫种族主义”和帝制危害

本文是对Hypatia出版的“捍卫种族主义”事件的回应。它并没有解决“反种族主义”本身的问题，而是试图阐明一些黑人女性从本文发表后可能经历的事情，以及我们如何理解这种经历的危害。这也为女权主义期刊提出了减少未来发生类似危害的可能性的一种方法。首先，我描述了课堂上发生的讨论，该讨论与围绕Hypatia进行的更大范围的辩论有些相似。接下来，我阐述一个帝国伤害的概念。然后，在简要描述学术女性主义（包括女权主义哲学）如何对黑人女性造成皇家伤害的特定场所之前，我将探讨这个概念如何与黑人女性在一般哲学学科中的经历相关。最后，在谈到表达伤害的概念时，我最后呼吁采用更多的女性主义出版伦理。
