“The Power of Identity Politics” by Garza analyzes why people are so wrong!!! Why a white person can talk, explaining their little narrow views is full of absurdity because the knowledge they have is out of reality. They aren’t engaged in black history, don’t read accurate literature, but probably listen to their white friends talking about the experience of non-white people. What a small spectrum of understanding in Identity Politics. America does not have a long history, so the identity of people who work here and pay taxes has an even higher value for interpretation. Everyone needs representation, and the law should help people and societies.
I always thought that difficult life makes you stronger and wiser. I see this is Aleichia’s Williams blog article. I feel for her, and many others, especially young people, living in microaggressive situations. My first husband is a Haitian Dominican born in America. He often told me how in his school latin peers with lighter skin tones pushed him away and that he didn’t feel Haitian or African much since he loved Spanish culture and Dominican Republic most. It was difficult for him, and because we spent almost fifteen years I had to watch him discovering himself in everything he was! He experienced a lot of racism in his job and Identity Politisc at a workplace were very tough in union. He worked in construction his entire life with mostly Italian groups of people. Identity politics had a gang laws encrypted in that world.
