The point of any movement for equality that focuses on a minority is to look at issues that effect that particular group of people and addresses problems that they face.
Black Feminism is to Feminism, as Feminism is to Egalitarianism.
Egalitarianism is the trend of thought that believes that all people should be equal, however people are not equal and thus different people will face different issues that require specific focus - for example we have feminism because women are an oppressed group, black civil rights movements because black people are an oppressed group, and gay rights movements because homosexual people are an oppressed group. Feminism represents a movement to bring equality to all women, but it must be recognized that women within certain minority groups are more oppressed than say white women...thus there are more issues to be focused upon. Feminism is overwhelmingly white-centered, so black feminism exists to specifically deal with issues that impact on black women.

If black feminism wasn't in the world what would happen to the African American Women?
I'd argue that if black feminism didn't exist there would still be womanism, and whether there was a term for black feminism/womanism or not black women would still be fighting for their rights as human beings. Feminism is overwhelmingly white-centered, however consider before the suffrage (white women fighting for white womens rights, and ignoring the rights of women of colour) black women were still fighting for their rights to exist and to their freedom - white feminism is a small island in a sea of history of women fighting for their rights to be treated as equals.

Postmodern black feminism is a perspective that combines elements of postmodernism, which questions traditional notions of identity and power, with black feminism, which focuses on the unique experiences of black women in society. It critiques established power structures and seeks to empower black women through intersectional analysis that considers how multiple forms of oppression intersect. Postmodern black feminists often highlight the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in redefining and challenging mainstream narratives.
What is the difference between feminism and eco-feminism?
Feminism is the assertion that women have been historically disadvantaged relative to men, and a commitment to changing oppressive structures. It is the movement towards the social, politcal, and economic equality of all people. Eco-feminism is a specific sub-set of feminism that opposes all forms of dominance: men over women, heterosexuals over homosexuals, and humans over animals (this last point is crucial in making it eco-feminism instead of just general feminism). Eco-feminism focuses on how hierarchies are linked and how these hierarchies affect not only people, but also the natural world.
