black./womyn.:conversations...leah on gender/race/sexuality

[jeighjoans]

mistreatment based on Race.. mistreatment based on Sex.. mistreatment based on Sexual Orientation.. The common denominator in all of these is the "mistreatment"..  should we allow how we are treated by others to affect the way we see ourselves? Not at all. Ideally it should only impact the way we see them. But like most things related to our internal selves, that's easier said than done.

its funny, im wondering what real experiences have you had with discrimination? like real situations, scenerios, ect did you really go through (with details) that brought this conflict into light. it really sound like you consciously and subconsciously assimilated this supposed mindset into your psyche to create an identity for yourself by juxtaposing subtle difference between yourself and the "other". in this case, straight white men...or men in general!

[jeighjoans]

@JGvisions.. I had the same thought.. not that I'm questioning her analysis of her own situation.. I'm just wondering is the intellectual computation that I hear based in actual personal experience or is it based in the potential personal experience? That said, I think she hits the nail on the head when she acknowledges the intersections of race, gender and sexual orientation and their impact on identity..

Whoever we are, wherever we are, it's just really a matter of respect. Respect can also be shown by protecting ourselves from STD so we can protect others from these diseases too, no matter what race they may have.

honey your mixed not fully black!

stupid comment. thats why white domination is still so powerful, because black people argue who is "really black and who not" race is an invention of white colonial european subjects. You could empower her instead telling what she isn't. To be BLACK is not just a matter of your skin color or your ancestors.

matrix of domination: intersectionality theory (angela davis, patricia hill collins): when systems of oppression (race, gender, sexuality) intersect, the product is not the sum total or multiplicative derivative of the system parts; but rather a whole new entity in and of itself (this is what she is signaling by noting "the crosshatch")
