Probably my last topic regarding my beef with social and political issues

Not what “dodge the bullet” means.

Walk. Now. OUT!

It’s a little more nuanced than that. And a whole lot less important in any event. Try reading the post from iiandyiii

Doesn’t that phrase usually include mention of a short pier?

No one is trying to dodge a bullet. We do not understand your arguments. You are getting closer, but still not there.

Intersectionality claims that privilege is more complicated that one state. One is not simply white. One may be white and female, or Samoan and the Rock. Intersections (if we must use that word) impact our privilege.

You are, I think, too hung up on the word “privilege”. It does not in this context mean the same thing to every person. Black privilege is NOT the same as white privilege. Privilege is the construct the theory is using to try to explain that.

Try experience, as a sum total, instead. Is black experience the same as white experience? Is black female the same as white female experience? Are there some ways in which female experience, regardless of race, are more similar than dis-similar? Are there some ways in which females, with a deep well of shared experience, will also have diverging experience based on myriad other factors, such as race, socio-economic status, land of birth, and so on? Of course there are.

Is privilege at some point a helpful label to apply? Yes and no. Some of those experiential differences are clearly a net benefit, and furthermore often an unknown net benefit to that group. Privilege in that sense can help to call that out. Privilege is not always helpful because is confuses people at a base level of the conversation.

This is where you need to work on your argument. You have stated your point of view, but have not made your case. Candidly, I also don’t follow your point of view. Please restate this and then explain why you think so.

As above, I think you are mistaken about the use of the word privilege in the context of the theory. I would also argue that you are incorrect about the bolded portion above. Of course, people can benefit from their race and/or gender. Are you saying that white men and white men alone are always at the top of any social or economic interaction? I find that to be an overly simplistic interpretation of life, not to mention narrowly focused geographically.

Finally, you seem to be discussing institutional racism and intersectionality as different issues. These are not unrelated, but intersectionality is basically another tool to give you insight into the complexity of the problem.

I feel schooled on that subject. Luc700 you getting any of this?
And, no one is dodging bullets. You are dodging the proof you need to make your case. Your o.p. is wishy-washy at best, and means very little in a real world application.

Don’t be too sure. I just got applause, and it only took like ten minutes. Who knows what other strokes might just fall in my lap?

Bets on whether he’s coming back?

With or without pie?

Is true that intersectionality is not an easy thing to discuss, but you know :o

You didn’t understand a word of that did you?

…no pie either, I suppose.

Finally, I can post this without getting dinged for altering quotes.

Too slow. :smiley:

I like pie though.

Warning issued

You don’t get to skirt the rules by linking to an insult.

Am I the only one who assumed that was meant as a self-deprecating remark by the OP?

Intersectionality claims no such thing. This is the simplest article I could find. Intersectionality doesn’t imply anything beyond what’s said in it. If you refuse to understand it on its own terms and insist on adding your own, that’s your ignorant choice and it’s not worth anyone’s time to spend more of it on you.

Yes I agree that’s a totally much better way to look at it, just wished I would stop having to hear a mix like “Mexican black Muslim trans midget obese autistic disabled female animal”

There we go, just listed every opressed class in one. I have heard similar before just so you know.

I agree that is just a newly developed theory though. I think really most people only try to discuss the dynamics regarding someone’s idenity.

I am beyond impressed that suddenly our MRA, alt right friend has developed some truly remarkable improvements in English comprehension , basic grammar and grade school sentence structure.

I mean, it’s such a black and white difference, remarkable, impressive, astounding, revealing!

Call me an alt righter all you want, I don’t give a shit :cool:

MRA, MGTOW, neckbeard, heritage traitor, etc

And lol at the want time you used a dude from India as an example(Don’t think none of you all remember)
