Question #1 post 1

Audre Lorde spoke excellently about “Age, Race, Class, and Sex” she addressed many issues that were occurring in 1980 and unfortunately all of those issues are still present. Racism is among every culture and is still one of the leading causes of separation between individuals of different skin color. For example, you may have heard about a young African American boy named Trayvon Martin who was gunned down by a Caucasian man named Andrew Zimmerman because he was walking in a suburban neighborhood, and supposedly he was acting in a suspicious manner. This is a prime example of why racism is an ongoing issue. Age, class and sex are also at the top, women are constantly being judged as the inferior sex and less valuable than men. I agree that progress have been made but these issues are still alive.
