Based on the film(s) you watched, using Crenshaw’s framework of intersectionality, what do you see as the  the role of racism, or other structures of oppression like homophobia, in these stories of misogynistic violence?

According to the Films, there were a lot of problems of racism and homophobia. There we can see that black people have a huge problems; they are oppressed. They are under the stress from childhood. People do not have a normal life style. Bulling, killing, beating and etc. are parts of their lives. There are people who hate black race, and they try to destroy it. In the movie, I can see that black lesbian people have a huge problems because that they are lesbian. They do not have that have problems they want to say that it is a normal. There was a lesbian black woman who said own history, where she was oppressed by man and also she says story about her friends who was killed. Unfortunately, media and court always are not just. There is speaking about fight in Manhattan where 4 person were unfairly punished. Also there is information about Gangs of Lesbian.

I think that this movie ,, Out in the night” is a really good source to get information about black lesbian people’s problems. They were target of bulling, killing, harassing.

I think that people afraid of different things. The above mentioned violence is a really good example of this.
