The Contribution of Intersectionality to Police Brutality for Blacks in North Tulsa
The concept of intersectionality can assist in explaining the increase in cases of police brutality directed towards Blacks in North Tulsa, Oklahoma. Intersectionality is term to describe the ways in which multiple forms of inequality compound themselves to create barriers that are not easily understood among conventional ways of thinking. In a keynote titled “Intersectionality and Gender Equality” at Southbank Center, Kimberlé Crenshaw, co-founder of the African American Policy Forum, delves into the issue of intersection. Crenshaw demonstrates that intersectionality was meant to draw attention to the many ways that Black women were excluded from employment that were segregated by gender and race (Southbank Centre, 2016). During this time, black jobs were available only to Black men, while female jobs were reserved to white women. As a result, Black women could not secure employment in the industries because they did not fit the kind of women and black the employer wanted. The combination of a race and gender policy for hiring people created a structured intersectional form of discrimination. Crenshaw indicates that intersectionality is not about multiple identities. Instead, intersectionality is how structures make certain identities the consequence the vehicle for vulnerability (Southbank Centre, 2016).
In September 2016, the video of the killing of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man in Tulsa, went viral. The video brought to attention, the challenges facing Black people
