ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the color of our skin, our age, our religious belief, our sexual orientation, our body type, even our socio-economic status; play out opportunities for power and/or targeting. It addresses social justice issues by neglecting all of the identities we possess serve only to diminish the efforts toward a social consciousness of freedom from intolerance. Black and White men each share a position of power given the oppression of sexism. However, a Black man doesn't hold the same power position within the oppression of racism. Black and White women both experience targeting within the oppression of sexism. However, within the oppression of racism, Black women are targeted while White women are empowered. The idea of the interconnectivity of the different oppressions is a focus of this activity that we often use with school leaders engaged in these conversations. Begin the facilitation of this activity with school leaders listing the ways in which they see their own identities.
