It's fucking wild, isn't it? But racism goes so, so deep. Some people believe in it like they believe in the sun.
Yeah. That's why the Statement of the Combahee River Colective was of such world-shaking importance. The concept of intersectionality had always been bouncing around in some sense but the Combahee River Colective made it a concrete part of theory and started us exploring and codifying the concept.
