I have a wonderful, diverse, and young staff at the AAPF who pretty much work around the clock trying to figure out how we promote the idea that social justice requires us to be intersectional in our thinking and in our scope of vision.
Our democracy cannot be left in the hands of those who would rather watch or participate in a train wreck than stop it.
Some of the worst racist tragedies in history have been perfectly legal.
A lot of people think that intersectionality is only about identity. But it's also about how race and gender are structured in particular workforces.
We must all stand against both the continual, systematic, and structural racial inequities that normalize daily violence as well as against extreme acts of racial terror.
When people talked about O.J. Simpson being race-neutral, that was a race card. It just meant we don't think of him as black. But race-neutral is just like flesh-tone Band-aids. It's not neutral; it's white.
