For the design of our padlet we split the main idea of intersectional advantage/ disadvantage into 3 main sections. These sections are race, gender, and socioeconomic class. We felt that these were the 3 most prominent forms of discrimination represented throughout Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You. We chose to put the thesis at the top of the page to make it easy to see our initial argument before diving into the evidence. On our first draft of the padlet, we had the thesis in the middle of the page, but thanks to feedback from our peers we decided that we needed to reorganize the padlet to make it easy to follow and review. By putting our thesis at the top of the page, we were able to effectively break down the identity facets of the dominant group within the book: rich White males. By splitting our padlet into 3 sections, we also were able to demonstrate that intersectionality is a very layered concept and that there are different marginalized groups within the aforementioned aspects of identity. This is important because our selected quotes represent the various ways groups of people are oppressed for their intersectionality. Ultimately, our padlet represents the nature of oppression in America. It flows throughout different groups of people, and everything is interconnected because oppression is a system of cause-and-effect.

Intersectionality formed as a Black feminist concept, and "primarily illustrates the intersectional experiences of Black women, whose concerns were neither fully addressed within the Civil Rights Movement, nor the (white) feminist movement. Intersectionality posits that … gender categories...are clear and have social, legal, political, and economic implications" (Palmer, et al.).

"...Bacon declared liberty for all servants and Blacks, because as far as he was concerned, though they were difference races, they were the same class and should be united against the true enemy -- rich Whites" (Reynolds and Kendi 26).

“A structure of management that operates by controlling the economy, authority, knowledge and subjectivities, gender, and sexuality" (Quijano 2000, Mignolo 2013). The establishment of control over economic classes is very influential on a society because by controlling the distribution of money you can target areas with a higher population of a certain rate and control the prices of different resources and land.

[The Anti-Drug Abuse Act gave a minimum five-year sentence for a drug dealer or drug user caught with five grams of crack, the amount typically handled by Blacks and poor people, while the mostly White and rich users and dealers of powder cocaine--who operated in neighborhoods with fewer police, had to be caught with five hundred grams to receive the same five year sentence" (Reynolds and Kendi 205).

"...Clarence Thomas had been accused by a woman named Anita Hill of sexual harassment when she served as his assistant at an earlier job. Nothing was done. No one believed her. In fact, she was persecuted" (Reynolds and Kendi 214).

"See the Black power movement wasn't perfect, of course. And though it has a righteous cause, it was still sexist. Men ran it all. Women were pushed to the back, like they'd been in every racial liberation movement in history" (Reynolds and Kendi 188).

"Race emerged specifically to justify the new American form of dehumanizing slavery and the characterization of Native Americans as savages undeserving of their lands" (Goodman et al. 4).

“But the root of his exceptionalism, his excellence, came from his being biracial. It must have. According to one of Du Bois's intellectual mentors, mulattoes were practically the same as any white man” (Reynolds and Kendi 120).

“Still, no one would publish her. I mean, those eighteen men knew she was brilliant, but none of them were publishers, and even if they were, why would they risk their business by publishing a Black girl in the midst of a racist world where poetry was for and by rich White people?” (Reynolds and Kendi 45).
