What Is Intersectionality? Why is it important? | Get Smarter With Blair Imani 

Intersectionality is a great way to understand a persons experience. It doesn't have to divide people - people are already divided in the way it points out. It merely gives us a tool to examine that. Good video.

I can imagine thousands of comments were deleted

Love the nuance in your description of Rosie The River!

Intersectionality. What a great word. People echo this in social justice circles, to unite against oppressions etc. Unfortunately, This a one dimentional label. a label system is a crude tool that doesn't capture the complexity of a person. Just because someone has certain features or attributes doesn't mean you can make assumptions about them. Everyone's story is different, and we should stop pigeonholing people into categories. People are more than their labels, and it's time we stop politicizing them in this way.

absolutely loved this!!

You deserve the fame and love you receive. You’re a smart, confident, and all-around important figure in history in the making.

You seem like a really sweet person, I was honestly taken aback by how kind your demeanor is. I think it's a really great thing to understand our advantages and disadvantages in society, intersectionality seems like something we should all be mindful of, I think you did a great job of explaining that. I really wish people wouldn't turn intersectionality into identity politics, it seems like it's dividing us even further, and at times people use it to bully others.

i could listen to you giving a history lecture all day! hope to see a video essay one day😆🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely awesome!

Much love!! This video was so stellar! Thank you for educating

Great job

Love this video! Intersectionality can be used as a "theory" and "methodology" it is an essential tool to understanding almost everything ;)

Love this lesson! So pointed. Sharing with a group of students next week!! P.S. your Rosie the Riveter cosplay is I C O N I C

I still dont fully understand. I do on a baseline but if I were to go in to depth, no way. Yet I have to speak about this topic in a few weeks to my team on how it has affected my life from being muiliracial. Ill keep doing more research.

#Intersectionality is one of my favorite terms.

Str8 up fine!

A bisexual muslim... thats interesting

"I'm an author, educator and historian" 😂😂😂

GUYS haram is always haram . you can't change it

One day we will wake up from this nightmare.

It's not important

The theory of intersectionality, at it's core, may have some validity. However, the number of ways we discriminate against one another really isn’t the issue. The issue is the sinfulness of the human heart. All sin separates us from God, and all sin must be atoned for. This is why Jesus died on the cross, to pay the penalty for our sin and to redeem a people unto Himself. All forms of discrimination and their intersectionality are the result of the fall of man into sin. No doubt discrimination will continue as long as sinful people reside upon the earth. Christians should acknowledge the problem of discrimination and work to counter it, but lasting change can only happen through the life-transforming power of Christ. Movements that seek to divide people along racial, gender, or class lines; that create designer victim groups; or that seek retribution through ever more autocratic policies are not truly benefiting society. Christians should be peacemakers working to unite people in the truth rather than divide people or stoke feelings of resentment.

Gibberish.

You are NOT a historian.

Islam is innocent from this Blair. If you really read the Quraan, you should know better about being a Muslim and queer. May Allah guide you.

Intersectionality is a social theory which allows you to multiply the opportunities to claim oppression.

Your politics bore me

A really extensive excuse to be miserable for free.

Don’t watch her videos guys May Allah grant u all hidayah

This woman wears hijab for additional oppression points 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re not making people smarter by parroting nonsense.
