Kimberlé Crenshaw : The urgency of intersectionality


Kimberlé Crenshaw at TEDWomen 2016
The urgency of intersectionality  (transcript)
Summary
I was really sorry that I could not stand for those women because I did not know their names completely. I thought that in America, the problem of inequality between black people and white people and between men and women were solved, so many people thought that.
However, the problem of black people and white people focused on among only men. The employers hire African-American, but it's only African-American men.
The problem of men and women focused on among only white women. The employers hire women, but it's only white women. African-American women have been left a center of those problems but many of them were killed by police.
At an intersection is the most dangerous because no one can help but no one can realize. If people can't see a problem, people can't fix a problem. We can bear witness to this-no name problem that is women's lost lives.

Words in this story
