Document Summary
Black women are rules not to be a special class in need of protection from discrimination. Therefore black women are protected by anti-discrimination law only to the extent that their experiences coincide with those of black men or those of white women: moore v. hughes helicopter. Court rules that black women could not represent all women. Implicit premise: all women implies white women: payne v. travenol. Court ruled that black women could not represent black men, bc black men and black women have different conflicting interests. Court ruled that black women had been discriminated against, but the remedy (payment) could not be extended to black women. As long as antidiscrimination doctrine proceeds from the premise that employment systems need only minor adjustments, opportunities for advancement by disadvantaged employees will be limited (145) Intersectionality is not easily fixed, the fundamental concept of discrimination privilege.
