Article By Crenshaw: Concept Of Intersectionality And Racism

Improved Essays
1. After reading the article by Crenshaw, I would define intersectionality as a concept to describe race and racism and how they are related and looked at when put together. Intersectionality is important when trying to understand racism and race relations because they go hand in hand and when you understand them together, you better understand the overall idea of them.
An example of inequality that is intersectional is racism intersecting with sexism. This is actually an example from class, with LeBron James on the magazine cover as King Kong. This is an example of intersectionality because racism [black] is intersecting with sexism [man]: James being portrayed as “animalistic”, as many black men have been in racial history.

    In reading Kimberlé Crenshaw’s article, she passionately writes about intersectionality, a call for racial injustice awareness, and a vision for social equality that is inclusive of all overlapping identities. Intersectionality is a label that is being used to define an individual’s layered identity in society. Subsequently, this term exists because intersectionality should “highlight the multiple avenues through which racial and gender oppression were experienced.” (Crenshaw, 2015 para. 4) As a law professor, Ms. Crenshaw encompasses the word “intersectionality” to address anti-discrimination problems affecting black women.…

    Although the film does not explicitly apply that term, it is implied. When I use the phrase “intersectional representation,” I am referring to the idea that a person is represented by someone who shares both the same gender and race as him or her, not one or the other. Regarding the film, the boys may have had teachers in the past who were male or who were black, but they never had a teacher who was both male and black before attending the Promise Academy. They never had someone who fully represented…

    The concept of intersectionality has made significant contribution to feminist theories. Intersectionality allows for feminist theories to account for the differences between women. This political theory allows implications for feminist theory and practice. As a result of the diversity that intersectionality has, it can be embraced by various strands of feminist theory, providing a means of cooperation between scholars who have different political views. The use of these terms shows how it is impossible to theorize about women’s lives by looking at one part of a person’s complex and multidimensional identity.…

    that overlap based on discrimination and oppression. An intersectional perspective is important for Latinx/Chicanx communities of color because it brings a lot of the communities out of the shadows. For example, in the LGBT community, it is mostly Anglo American cisgender males and females who are usually fighting for rights, but someone who is of color and transgender doesn’t get represented. It’s important especially for Latinx/Chicanx communities, since there’s many people who need the support and the representation in their communities. For example in the documentary “Which Way Home” the children have to deal with intersectionality, for example Kevin, the fourteen year old Honduran kid has to deal with his age, class, language, and ethnicity while crossing Mexico to get to the United States.…

    She defines ‘white privilege’ as "an invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was 'meant' to remain oblivious." White privilege in a sense is like being born with a knapsack full of special tools and advantages. (Klement 7) I think that some people try to convince themselves that this privilege is non-existent perhaps because they do not want to deal with the issues at hand. Intersectionality plays a role in their own perspectives of race and racism because they don’t view race as a thing that exists.…

    So, does the intersectionality of being a good mother on welfare. Mothers on welfare can do some of the criteria but not all to become a good mother, it is just like only a few wires in a bird cage can’t trap a bird. All the wires must be there to trap a bird and a mother must meet all the requirements made by society to be a good mother. Intersectionality, is the combination of factors that compile on top of each other, that do not allow for someone to achieve all of the factors; which in turn suppresses them when all factors are…

    Crenshaw’s intersectionality is the idea that there are many forces or attributes that intersect and determine how powerful you are in the world. Being a woman is one attribute that automatically lowers how much power you hold, however, being an African American woman lowers your power indefinitely. African American Women hold the least amount of power given that the have two minority attributes that intersect. Being a man means you hold the most power possible, however if you are an African American man you have less power than a white man - which is the same for women. Within the film all the men - including the baseball players were away at war, and in order to keep people entertained with sports, women were given the job to join the league.…

    Intersectionality is used to describe multiple threats of discrimination when an individual’s identities overlap with a number of minority classes such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, health and other characteristics. My first photo is of Gabby Douglas a woman of "firsts", instead of recognition for her amazing athletic accomplishments; media scrutinized her for her hairstyle (pg. 113). This makes you question if because she is such an amazing female, black athlete if people were intimidated and the only thing they could say about her was her hair. My second image for intersectionality is an abortion ad. Statistically black women are more likely to have an unintended, unwanted pregnancy, and therefore an abortion.…

    Intersectionality is recognizing the different aspects of a human being. It is not just your gender, but your race and your social class. Our gender is not just one lone aspect about us a humans, but it intersects other ways in which we identify. In the reading “Why Race, Class, and Gender Still Matter” it talks about the importance of understanding how big a part intersectionality plays in our lives, and it isn’t about focusing on one social aspect of one another, but all of them together. It talks about changing our perception of white experiences.…

    The first example from this semester 's reading that expanded my understanding of intersectionality is Andrea Smith’s (2015), Conquest: Sexual Violence and American Indian Genocide. One of the pieces of valuable information I learned during our study of Native American is that sexual violence is a tool of racism (p. 29) and that the United States government condoned abuse, rape and murder of Native Americans when they knowingly concealed guilty rapists and murders. A decision that rendered ultimately led to the offenders never being charged because “rape falls under the Major Crimes Act” tribes were unable to prosecute and were reliant on the federal government to seek justice (Smith 2015:32). Therefore, the federal government’s decision not…

    The final focus is on intersectionality. Intersectionality is defined as no one having an identity thus making everyone equal.

    The American professor and critical theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the word intersectionality as a term to use for many types of discrimination. She offered a definition to gender oppression, inequality in work places and society in the lives of black women; particularly in the US, a defined word that many can identify and relate to in the world today. To explain how she defined such multi categorized pattern of bias activity she used the idea of a traffic intersection. “an analogy to traffic in an intersection, coming and going in all four directions. Discrimination, like traffic through an intersection, may flow in one direction, and it may flow in another (…)…

    Rape Poster Analysis

    Appendix 2 is an example of another poster from a campaign about rape, but it differs from appendix one as it stands with a more feminist view point. The poster is very much on the side of the victim and recognising them as such, rather than blaming them for being raped. The text is incredibly important as it is reassuring the victim that they are not to blame, that they did not deserve to be raped, and that they will be believed if they chose to confide in others. Intersectionality can be applied by looking at the image on the poster. If you assume the poster suggests that the woman was raped, you can start to identify why she may have been targeted as a victim.…
