Understanding Classism

Welcome to Beyond The Divide's exploration of classism. Our aim is to decolonize the mind and educate the public on the historical and current effects of classism on our society. Join us as we delve into the complexities of classism and its impact on us all.

Classism Defined

Classism is more than just wealth; it's a system shaping access, opportunity, and power. It dictates who gets a quality education, who can afford safe housing, and who can build wealth, often trapping others in economic instability. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for fostering a more equitable society.

Intersection with Race

Classism affects everyone, but its impact on Black communities in America is uniquely profound, intertwined with a history of racial oppression. This intersection highlights the systemic barriers that have historically limited opportunities for African Descent communities, perpetuating cycles of inequality.

Advocating for Change

By understanding the intersection of classism and racial inequality, we can envision a more equitable future. We encourage you to speak up, advocate for fairness, and contribute to genuine change. Together, our voices can amplify the call for justice and equality for all.

"Understanding classism is the first step towards dismantling systemic inequalities. It is our collective responsibility to create a more just and equitable society for all."
