“Solidarity is something that you develop in the course of common struggle,” said BAR managing editor Bruce Dixon, in an interview with “This Is Hell” radio host Chuck Mertz. “Intersectionality,” as actually practiced, “is everybody coming forth based on what’s in their section.” Foundations have allocated tens of millions of dollars to fund intersectionality programs for groups like Black Lives Matter, which is “the One Percent’s way of dictating and controlling the so-called social movements in this country,” said Dixon.
