I appreciate your framing using "marginalized people", it's inclusive, multi-layered, & universal.
Many beings come into this world marginalized through sex, race, class, religion, politics, and/or experiences; death of primary caretakers, physical abuse, disfigurement, chronic health & mental disorders, and so on.
Your construct opens the possibility to consider that individuals may be impacted by more than one vector and that different Countries produce different baskets of marginalization - each producing similar harmful results.
Implied by extension, marginalized points to dominant groups who's vectors compound the likelihood of success; default race, language, religion, and/or politics, and foundational experiences/resources; healthy bodies and families, the passing on of intergenerational wealth, skills, & networks, and so on.
Perhaps this more human centered framework for discussing the health of society will broaden the coalition on the side of balance and help reduce division and divisiveness.
“The only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.”... If Jodi felt she should have been allowed to say her rap, why not say the rap on your Youtube account? What is white America afraid of? They canceled the black race many years ago when they denied us our heritage and forced us to learn about them... I find it funny that we know more about their culture and yet they feel we want to cancel theirs... We don't... I believe there's room for all people and all cultures... Fear of losing control is the basis for many white folks and I also believe they think that if another nationality gains momentum it cancels their's... However, I agree with the writer in that both sides are to blame... “Your past does not equal your future.” and “Identify your problems, but give your power and energy to solutions.” How do we as a people move forward toward a better world for all if we refuse to communicate, listen, and open our minds?... Solidarity forever!!
ok ready for the next. there's nothing in the coverage i've seen about jodi's economic background. was she an ada, or a working class student? not that changes the argument, but do you think it's relevant, or could be, to how a white person experiences the "shame for white privilege" movement? i'm eager to hear about your conversations with people who connected with her.

What will this look like in the end and what must happen between now and then?
