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.

Talking about important subjects rationally and objectively and making perfect sense but not taking action towards helping the situations.

Examples of Intellectual Masturbation: Saying things like "If all the rich people in the world gave X % of their money, a lot of world problems would be solved." , or "The money that goes into American Idol could save millions of lives." without doing anything about the issues.

intellectual elitist

One who claims to have background knowledge about a subject and is therefore more qualified in his/her opinions. Elitists generally believe they are morally superior to everyone else and their proclamations are to be accepted without reservation.

The term intellectual elitism has recently been attributed to globalists pushing for an agenda that recognizes environmental change without having prerequisite facts to support their claim. With the media attack against US President-elect Donald Trump, we see a continued progressive bias against informed, educated citizens.

An example of an intellectual elitist would be Barack Obama, or Nancy Pelosi, or perhaps Chuck Schumer.

The intellectual elitist told the audience the government was there to help.
