It refers to a potential criticism of early feminism which promoted the ideals of white, heterosexual, middle class women over all others. Betty Friedan, for instance, said that gender equality (regarding voting) was more important than racial equality. Third wave feminism emphasizes that gender inequality is linked to racial, socioeconomic, and sexual inequality, within interlocking systems of oppression.

Who became the first feminists when they realized that in many ways they were slaves also?
This is actually a controversial question. Feminism is said to have started with First Wave feminism of the 19th century when [white] women chose to fight for the right to vote, own land, and equal right in marriage. The controversial part comes in that they fought purely for the rights of white women, overwhelmingly feminism has remained about white women and often excluded women of colour - for example, slaves.

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.
Has modern feminism lost its principles?
Some critics have argued that modern feminism has lost its principles. However, feminism is not a stationary idea, and has to change in order to continue to be useful. Feminism has gone through many phases or waves since its advent in the United States, from First Wave Feminism all the way to Fourth Wave Feminism. Just within the U.S. feminism has changed from a movement focused on getting women the vote, and from being a movement largely run only by white, middle-class straight women, to a feminism that attempts to be more inclusive to all women, regardless of their race, ability, sexuality, religion, class and other identities. Feminism has branched into numerous subsets, such as eco-feminism, radical feminism, and (Multi)Cultural feminism, in an attempt to acknowledge all women and all their experiences. Feminism in different countries takes different forms and means different things. So feminism has changed in many ways since its advent, but it has not lost its principles. Feminism still seeks to bring equality to women, and dismantling, and dismantling oppressive institutions, which are what its principles have always been.
What is another word for feminism?
I don't believe that there is another word for feminism, the term feminist is clear on it's intentions: a movement to bring about gender equality. There are similar movements such as womanism which is a movement for equality for women of colour, as mainstream feminism is mostly white-centered many black women feel they need their own movement outside feminism to fight for their rights.
What is the point of black feminism?
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.
