My thoughts on this week’s readings and the film. Well about the film I would say that the film shows the intersectionality of race, class, gender expression, and sexuality in a marginalized New York community. See how members of the subculture use positive means of expression rather than violence, yet they are still targets of discriminatory violence. The discrimination against colored and trans people. I think that people in this film are almost portrayed as objects and that the audience might feel as if they have more power, they will feel better about themselves because they have money and status. In the reading, this being that black women have always had a negative relationship with the system of white rule because of their “membership in two oppressed racial and sexual castes,” but shows that both sexual identity and racial identity have combined to make their struggles unique in some way.
