Most of what Audre Lorde wrote still seems very relevant today. Like many people have said before, racism will never be completely gone. Not just that, but sexism as well. With a global population of over 7 billion, you are bound to find someone who does not like the idea of equal rights for all people, and in turn be deemed “racist” or something similar. In my opinion, I do not believe any of the author’s points have been “outdated”. The world is still very much the same as it was decades ago, the difference being “equal rights for all people”.
From my life experience, discrimination has been a noticeable encounter. Generally, these type of experiences do not affect me, although i am concerned for those who would take encounters like these personally. I have not experienced much racism, mostly due to where i currently live, New York City, “the nation’s melting pot”. This does not stop acts of racism/discrimination from occurring however.
I disagree with the world being the same as it was decades ago because yeah there’s racism and sexism going on now but there’s so much more things that are acceptable now that was not before.
