Audre lorde touched on the subjects of racism and sexism when in her time just like now is still a big issue, many people would say that in the time period we live in now is better evolved from audre lorde’s time because we’ve had rallys, protest, laws passed, ect.. But its still a major issuse. The way i see it is As long as people have a right to an opinion there wil always be rasicm and sexism and hateful comments. Audre’s choice of lifestyle along with being african american made her a target for the discrimication against her but those same discriminations still live powerfully within our society today! The media we are use to seeing makes us think its ok to discriminate as long as its not directed specificaly. But whats the difference between you calling out an indivduals name and discriminating against an entire race! lorde’s points are still valid in todays time.
“The media we are use to seeing makes us think its ok to discriminate as long as its not directed specificaly.”
What, exactly, do you mean here, Vijay? I’m not sure I understand.
