Class discrimination

Um, we have different cultural aspects that are at play.

Um, um, Classism is very real and that's even within a work structure, absolutely.

So all of those are a part of the equation when I say, right, when Erica says showing up as your authentic self.

But for me, that does mean I show up as my authentic self with the hope that bringing that into the conversation will cause somebody to pivot, will cause somebody to think differently, will cause a funder to invest differently.

Thomas takes an ordinary man and, through carefully crafted language, structure, and imagery, reveals him to be extraordinary.

The poem subverts pastoral tradition and critiques class prejudice, and insists that the rural Welsh laborer deserves to be remembered, not as a curiosity, but as a winner of wars.

In the exam, anchor every point in a specific quotation, analyze the effect of language choices, integrate context naturally, and always maintain a clear argument about what Thomas is saying and why it matters.

Good luck with your revision.

And like,

Classism in general.

Classism, yeah.

And all that stuff I remember when reading the book, really interesting.

Even with this movie, I was watching it and I was like, man, I kind of wish they...

I struggle with the, like, the, the theme of this movie l- uh, when you get to this point.

Satan? Classism?

Like, you know.

[laughs] The class...

Well, absolutely.

Classism is really high in this country with a big issue on it.

Even people like myself on the radio or on the television presenters, they don't want you on it because of classism.

But I think what Cahill said was very, very interesting and he's 100% correct.

Okay.

Classism from my own race.

Classism is more, like, money-

Okay

... how much wealth you have.

Um, but, you know.

Classism is a thing, and, uh, as, as I've, you know, said a lot of times, the quicker we, you know, quicker we acknowledge that a lot of issues are to do with class and not things like race, um, then we will get to a better place.

But obviously we are always hung up on the identity politic of the day.

So yeah, big up to the French students.

So a lot of times when I talk about how girls achieve or gender or, uh, femininity, uh, there's a perception that it's sort of not for other groups.

Um, and the truth is that when you focus on Black girls, uh, because they're at the intersections of so many oppressions, especially low income Black girls, right? Classism, sexism, racism.

If you're able to find a solution that addresses their plight, then you're also addressing so many other, um, oppressions that affect all of us, right? And so it can hopefully be freeing for all of us.

We also have to understand that, you know, um, the constraints of patriarchy are very toxic for young men too.
