The video, Paris Is Burning tells us about during the ball tells us that many people really seem to fit in together either you’re a girl or a boy. How they accept everyone can do anything and do anything. How many of them enjoyed being watched by people also cheering for them. Plus that is the way they fit in without being judged since everyone has certain problems. They also talked about the roles that changed in the ’70s. Looking like a gorgeous movie star to a model. It is for everyone now for more people to be involved in. I feel like it isn’t really a bad thing because they somehow lost and thought of finding something more enjoyable and mostly having fun. Mostly because of the social standard of living in real life the gay men can’t get a job as executives unless having an educational background and the opportunity. But the thing about the ballroom is they can do anything they want to feel confident about themselves for once. By showing the straight world I can be an executive if there were an opportunity to be one. I really like the video because I feel like they can have somewhere to go in life. In the video they also talked about many of the parents also don’t seem like they accept their child as gay. And even though it is like that their lives still ended up great. You just have to accept who you are basically and know that you can change your own lives.

I really like Karinys Carrillo SnapShot because of how it represents Paris Is Burning. Showing us different outfits that each one wears to the ball and how fashion represents them and show people that men can wear, and express themselves. Also when they talked about spoil rich white girls getting what they want don’t really have to struggle and have good finance and nice clothes and having no problem. Well, I felt like it isn’t fair for other races like-colored women. For example, Junie Vallon Snapshot shows how another Black Woman was killed wants to know that they should do something about it. Mostly Black women suffered a lot more than white Women. The opportunity is the skin color white women had. They still go through certain things but not as bad as Black women do.

The Combahee River, Collective Statement tells us that Black Women face difficulty in political work their not really trying to actually fight for oppression but address oppression since they don’t even have the class privilege to rely on or access to resources. And the quote I found that make more sense ”We exist as women who are Black who are feminists, each stranded for the moment, working independently because there is not yet an environment in this society remotely congenial to our struggles because being on the bottom, we would have to do what no one else has done: we would have to fight for the world.” No one had really experienced the way they have to deal with it alone frustrated and how they had to struggle all alone.
