This weeks reading was very interesting. According to the reading by Williams and being a black hispanic women could fall hand in hand with identity politics. Aleichia actually mentioned how moving from the big apple to a smaller town was a very drastic change for her at least culturally. Williams stated other girls didn’t like her and she spoke in their language towards her. Here is how identity politics fall in place, as the story goes on Williams continues by explaining how no one believed she was latina because of her skin color. Not to mention she was despised by women like her just for the color of her skin. In my opinion, identity politics main focus is based on your race, sex, culture, and religion. As the second reading “Identity Politics” by Alicia Gracia , she spoke on her perspective on this topic. She mentions a blonde girl that she had seen in the same bar as her intoxicated and speaking to people in the bar to get her thoughts out on how we should all be equal and forget oppression. Now, in this chapter she explains that it’s not something we can move on and forget that it happened. As a matter of fact it isn’t spoken about very often, in which it should. It was and is a big part in history. You have to understand the story behind black oppression and work together to have that equality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
