- Censored from
today's campuses is discussion of another, in various respects
competing, intersectionality: That of the shared,
intersecting, predicaments of today's victims of Islamist
aggression, including terrorism.
- Hamas's operatives
have trained in Sudan and worked with Sudanese forces,
including those that have been engaged in the Darfur genocide.
This is the organization whose supporters are leading movers
behind the campus intersectionality/boycott campaign and have
become the moral arbiters of campus political correctness.
- Of those killed at
the Twin Towers on 9/11, 215 were black (136 men, 79 women).
Other African Americans were murdered in subsequent
Islamist-inspired terrorist attacks in California and Florida
and elsewhere, and are as likely to be victims of future such
terror attacks as anyone else. But work to prevent, and
minimize the impact, of such assaults apparently counts for no
more to Black Lives Matter, when weighed against promoting an
anti-Israel agenda, than it does to SJP and other Hamas-linked
groups.
- The
"intersectionality" promoted on campuses and beyond
by Hamas/SJP and their fellow travelers seeks, in pursuit of
its anti-Israel agenda, to distract attention from the
Islamist onslaught, its ongoing savaging of populations in
Africa, Asia and America.
The term "intersectionality" was coined by
an African-American academic, Kimberlé Crenshaw, in 1989 to denote
the circumstance of being the target of more than one bias.
Crenshaw saw herself as the potential victim of both anti-black
racism and misogyny, thereby living at the intersection of the two
bigotries. In recent years, the term has gained prominence on many
of the nation's campuses to signify something else: the supposed
shared, "intersecting," predicaments of racial and ethnic
groups -- as well as women and sexual minorities -- victimized by
white male racism and its history of imperialism, colonialism,
exploitation and slavery.
