"Solidarity is for white women when pink hair, tattoos, and piercings are "quirky" or "art" on a white woman but "ghetto" on a black one.
An interesting topic that I believe was relevant
to Audre Lorde’s and the Pearl Cleage piece was intersectionality.
Intersectionality to me, is when something is played on both sides, rather it
is gender, race and social class. Also, it can be multiple forms of
discrimination. As far as this quote being an example of intersectionality is
quite evident and still common in today’s society. There are agreements among
whites where they are able to do things out of the norm and not stereotyped for
these particular actions. Ironically, African American women are belittle or
interrogated in this patriarchal male society. It is unfair how
intersectionality is a similar, prominent factor in multiple communities, but
viewed differently
