June 03, 2022 14:00 - 1 hour - 26.2 MB

One of the terms of art that has become popularized in the current age of hyper politics is intersectionality. A notion created by academic Kimberle Crenshaw that arose in conjunction with critical race theory, intersectionality became so popular it was weaponized by Hillary Clinton in her 2016 presidential election bid. Is intersectionality anything more than a plea for equality of distribution, recognition, and opportunity in a capitalist political economy that is rooted inequality and exp...

TIR PRESENTS THE MAU MAU HOUR f/ PASCAL ROBERT: White Supremacy vs Capitalism

Is it possible that using White Supremacy as a universal cause of racialized harm denies more awareness of how capitalism results in harms that are racialized be...
