Dr. Hill, YOU are truly a phenomenal woman! YOUR spirit, socioeconomic, political and educational insights are priceless. Thank you for sharing your personal story, as it feeds those of us working to build supportive communities for Black women in PWI spaces. Thank YOU for bringing portions of HER-STORY up from the depths of knowledge that is denied its rightful place in the classroom and in the telling of United States history. YOU manage to motivate motivators!
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me
Dear Dr. Hill Collins and Montgomery College -- thank you! I showed this to my students today. It really helped understanding of intersectionality and solidarity! Thank you!
Thank you Patricia Collins for clarifying the topic of intersectionality in such a humourous and interesting way. It brought the point home in such a simple and thought provoking way. That speech is out of this world, good job ma'am
A friendly reminder that the position of "ally" is a subservient position in the group and one that never allows full membership. One that only allows you to support, not add. One where you can lend your voice but never have it yourself.
That’s really dumb, you’re quite literally rationalizing using another human as a mean to your end. Irrational line of thought that racist people engage in, your goals don’t absolve you from this error
I don't think that's correct. You are attributing political ideology to a vocabulary word. The definition of ally is a person, group or nation UNITED with another in COMMON PRUPOSE. That is what an ally is.
Brilliant talk--many of us agree with your points, Dr. Hill Collins! It is truly sad that Cary Sontag is displaying their fragility and attacking you with misogynoir and their own ignorance and lack of awareness of history and the need for intersectional feminism.
20:56 She didn't live an ordinary life. At 20 years of age, she filed an unprecedented lawsuit against Chesapeake, Ohio, and Southwestern Railroad Company in 1884 and the court decided in her favor and ordered the railroad company to pay damage. Of course, the railroad company appealed and the court ruled in their favor and never paid Mrs. Wells-Barnett.
I have studied Dr. Hill Collin’s work for a while. I am a PhD student, and my research involves intersectionality and activism. As White women, yes we need to look at the privilege we have. Acknowledging our privilege based on race is important to address. Yet, we also need to remember that privilege comes in many forms...gender, socioeconomics, education, etc. Intersectionality evolved from Black feminism and Critical Race Theory. It is the impact of many social identities. White women have also dealt with patriarchy, many deal with economic disparity, low education levels, etc. So, we need to look at privilege, but as Dr. Patricia Hill Collins discussed in her books and research, there is a a concept called matrix of domination. It identifies that no one is purely a victim or purely a perpetrator. Many of us have some privilege and some marginalization. For example, a White women, with higher socioeconomic status and high education level has privilege in many ways but a White woman, living in poverty, with a low education level, will deal with more marginalizations. This comparison is the same with a women of color who is highly educated and in a high socioeconomic status group versus a woman of color who is in poverty with a low-education level, etc. Intersectionality is to give space and acknowledgement of the marginalization of all people in terms of gender, race, class, immigrationation status, etc. I am a Caucasian woman, but I am a daughter of immigrants who left their country during a dictatorship, whose parents were poor, whose parents had a low level of education and who struggled with different levels of discrimination as immigrants. So, my skin color doesn’t inhibit me from understanding my privilege but also the marginalization that others, including Black women, my immigrant parents, etc. have experienced. There is a way to give space to all marginalized people to have a voice and share that space. That is how we build solidarity...not just among those with many marginalized identities, but also between those groups and groups who have some privilege. We are not each other’s enemies...we don’t have to be. We can be allies to build a coalition against all forms of power in society. As Dr. Hill Collins says, there are multiple levels of systemic and structural barriers which have created social injustice. It is interesting to note how intersectionality is implemented in research and practice in different ways in the U.S. versus other regions of the world.
@Lisbon Diaries I’m black and gay and a millennial and this stuff scares me. I can’t imagine a white male. I really appreciate your breakdown, It helps feel less domineering. It is really a completely new way of thinking. Gonna be hard to convince ppl.
Ash Embers Hello...Dr. Patrícia Hill Collin’s is a major and well-respected leader in the field. Intersectionality was coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in a Stanford Law Review journal article about 30 years ago, so it has been in the academic and social change arenas for a long time. It isn’t actually anything new. The term was phrased then, but the concept existed long before that..its roots are in activism, specifically Black feminist activism. You don’t have to convince anyone really...it is about you speaking your truth and challenging the systemic level of oppressions that exist. I am Luso (Portuguese)-American and have dual citizenship since my parents are from Portugal. My parents were immigrants in the U.S. and faced many biases and prejudices there, especially my darker-skinned father. I moved to Portugal over two years ago. I am also an activist. I am still fighting for change there from afar but participate here in activism too. The world is watching and sees what is happening in the U.S. for the first time in our history, the people of the U.S. across race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., and even here in Europe and across the world, are coming together in solidarity to change the system. I have never seen anything like this. There is a shift in humanity happening, but this push for progress must be sustained . It won’t be easy, and yes, many will push against it, but it is time...past time for change. Take care of yourself and know many fellow Americans, people around the world, and allies are supporting the movement for racial equality, gender equality, LGTBQ+ equality....all equality and we see the multiple fights of oppression which exists for many people.
This oppression Olympics in developed world will stops any genuine movements in developing nations. Hey let me showcase my ancestral sufferings so that I can score some browny points to climb up the ladder of oppression. This lunatic herd mentality is like spitting on the face of people who face real inequality in the developing world like not being sent to school, marriage at age of 12, denied access to resources.
@@lisbondiaries9212 Sometimes moving backwards looks like progress when you are turned around. What you are talking about is not new. Collectivist movements happen all the time. I find it hilarious when the group now complains about being oppressed by the individual when for the last 95% of humanity its been the opposite. Groups have often found intersections where they can agree to work together against their common enemy which is always, people of another group. This is the nature of power struggles. I urge you to study geo politics as the nature of power struggles becomes more apparent as religion, race and region makes absolutely no difference. While using dividing tactics will work in building your group, they don't help you advance it. Since geo politics is all about the advancement, its the reason why the USA would bomb a Christian country to help create a Muslim one. Your parents immigrating to anywhere would have faced the similar challenges. I often think that the peda stool that so many people put the USA up on actually does it harm, as they don't understands its just a Nation state like anywhere else.
I'm having difficulty with the word "black feminism." Who were black women fighting against? Black women weren't placed on pedestals, no one was treating them like ladies. We clearly know that white women were fighting their white men for equality, but black women? Black women have been working since they were kidnapped and arrived in the New World. They were dragged into an issue that did not concern them and did not benefit them because as soon as white women were given their "rights" and "freedom to work," they dumped black women and went off to their white men.
There are other ways of having political solidarity that is not JUST all about being so worried about our identities. You know the communities we came from and the communities we have joined. That their are bigger principles. That is the whole concept of the intersectionality that she is talking about. Maybe 52:52 was the only concept caves could grasp among all the rationality being presented by Dr. Hill. lol She is also referring to a Asian womans ability to navigate a world were colorism isn't her barrier to her achievement. Where in that time being Asian isn't as a henderence to progress than being African American. Smh.

Some of us don't like victimhood or the destructive nature of the Democrat party.
its dribble for low iq people

Black Women stabbed Black Men in the back when they aligned with feminism
Intersectionality= I want to identify as something other then black
🥰
Yeah I'm a man and I'm here. As many should be
lol you’re a fucking loser
That is not a way to talk to someone brother. Don't force life to teach you the hard way.
This stuff is for milquetoast retards, hopefully you've gained a braincell or two since you commented
Black Men run away from this as fast as po
At least, comments section is open here compared with other RaceBater lectures.

This lady is not saying anything of substance whatsoever.
