Intersectional Racism

The concept that racism can only exist when there is a coalescing of power plus prejudiced. It was first devised by sociologist Mark Chesler. Two elements are required in order for racism to exist: racial prejudice, and social power to codify and enforce this prejudice into an entire society.

Many people mistakenly assign power plus prejudice definition to the broader term of racism but this only applies to intersectional racism. Related to interscetional sexism, and intersectional feminism.

White people often support intersectional racism without being aware of it.

Intersectional feminism

A movement which highlights relations in-between all oppressions, and links feminism to other social fights like ecology, anti racism, lgbt+ ... An intersectional feminist is someone aware that one can be oppressed because of a combinaison of social affiliations.

As a black woman, my value is intersectional feminism because I know sexism and racism in my daily life.

Monday morning in first period class..

While the entire class is filled with sighs and "awww man!"s, Christine talks to Ryan..

Christine (addressing Ryan): Can you believe that? It's soo not fair!

Ryan (pushes tongue towards the back of the front teeth with lips closed and sucks in a small amount of air while opening the lips to make a brevorhetoric interjection addressed towards Christine): Yeah! *insert brevorhetoric interjection* Tell me about it.
