The Power of Identity Politics, 

 “for people who aren’t white, heterosexual, cisgender men.” This is a perfect example of who has/gains power in the levels/ranks of society. An exact description of who is and will be in control, no matter the situation at hand. This is the normal reality of Americans, instead of dividing power to all types of people and groups of identity, in the USA it is encouraged and in force to keep the struggle going. Which keeps white men in power, and some white women who are able to gain power but since they are women, it’s mostly white men. It is a proven fact, they’re so many articles, court cases, federal sponged cases, situations in society, or issues at home where men, white men and/or white people who have been given a higher level of respect, care, and a slap on the wrist. EVEN CASES WITH RAPE AND MURDER!! It is incredibly disgusting and so heart-aching. 

White people are presented as the superiority “race” when in reality we are all one race and in my opinion white people have no culture because the culture they claim to have, is and are stolen from African descendants. Which is incredibly ironic to say, because African Americans suffer so much and are not respect as much as other groups of people.  There are several different types of identity politics in this article but this one hit homes for me because  black people poured their heart and soul in submitting into torture, makeovers, and etc. They have done so much to get and demand their rightful rights and respect as human beings for as long as anyone can remember. Still till this day, they are always being degraded and seen as less of a human based on the color of their skin!
