You don’t have to look very far to witness how fundamentally fractured our society is.  Intersectionality lauds our differences, and sets us up for punishment for the transgression of individuality.  My Webster’s dictionary defines intersectionality as:

…the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect, especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups[.]

Today we’ll discuss how the creators of intersectionality intentionally took a largely cohesive country and turned it into a collection of warring hostile tribes of victimized leftists, all by design.

Academic law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw created the concept of intersectionality.  In her 1991 article “Mapping the Margins” she explained how people who are “both women and people of color” are marginalized, because “discourses that are shaped to respond to one [identity] or the other” ignore their “intersections” of a hypothetical black woman’s identity.  The predicate for Ms. Crenshaw’s thesis is, “What that means is that we are actually living at the intersections of overlapping systems of privilege and oppression.”

The nexus argument behind all claims of intersectionality is victimhood —  white males have stolen everything, which rightfully belongs to other deserving distinct groups, all of course, sans white males.  Everything must be returned or taken by force, and only then can redress be genuinely achieved.

This has become incontrovertible and sacred doctrine among progressives, although nonsense!  (And that’s being charitable when considering the absolute devastation yielded by the belief in and application of intersectionality.)  In the modern political environment, the four following concepts, rooted in Crenshaw’s theory, derive their validation from the idea that American society is desperately unjust:

Now, let’s return to two distinct aspects of our title, “American Deviancy”: 

1. Either America is morally bankrupt and founded on a state of evil intent, 
   or,

2. America is flawed, but full of opportunity, regardless of circumstance, color, creed, etc.

Which is mostly true?  Here is the mathematical truth: America has been the destination of choice for the world since 1820, and no nation has taken in more millions than we have.  Why is that?

It is precisely because we were a morally conservative country, ethnically and economically more inviting than any other country in the world.  Sometime in the 1960s, the very success that America (primarily the European and Asian immigrants from the 1860s through the 1940s) found created the engine of the world that, like magnetism, draws people to this day, but benefits the world at large.

But today’s draw is different.  Despite the risk of failure, that 80-90 year period saw the arrival of the world’s best and brightest; some people died or failed to obtain their dream, while millions more prospered.  Now, it’s a literal invasion through a non-existent border of Third World populations all expecting a guaranteed outcome, payment for wrongs they believe they endured — thanks to intersectionality — and an unnatural equality that does not exist in nature.

America has lost its way, starkly visible in how deviant behavior is tolerated, subsidized, and held in higher esteem than pro-society, pro-family actions.  As our country moves rapidly towards self-entitlement and self-love above accomplishment, concepts like multiculturalism, implicit bias, cancel culture, and intersectionality foster destructive concepts that create undeserved self-affirmation in error.

Life is imperfect.  However, that is no excuse for throwing logic and history to the wind, expecting an impossibly utopian outcome.  Life should be about the best choices, not the imaginary perfect ones.  What are we to do to ensure that America survives and returns to its rightful place as the shining city on a hill?  Without a restoration of the U.S. as a guarantor of our essential freedoms, we are surely doomed, and our policies today are nothing more than a suicide pact.

God Bless America!
