How I Got to "Intersectionality"

"In order to get rid of the white space at the end of your post.  Put your cursor at the end of the post and hold down the delete key until all the white is gone." - Uncle Ken

I did that but, instead of making the white space go away, it made all those dots.

Before that, I looked up the 1954 shooting that Uncle Ken mentioned.  From there I went to a 2013 shooting in Washington DC, but this one was different.  A certain mentally ill lady crashed her car through a barrier and was headed towards the White House.  While being pursued by police, she rammed several police cars and also hit a couple of policemen who were on foot.  As she was trying to run down another cop, he and a different cop shot at her car, resulting in her death.  It seems that some people are holding this incident up as yet another example of police brutality against Black people.  Did I mention that the crazy lady was Black?  The last paragraph of the article contained the word "intersectionality".  Being unfamiliar with that word, I clicked on it and ended up at the link I provided yesterday.  I think I know what the word means now, but I'm still not sure what it has to do with the rest of the article.

On May 20, 2015 a vigil was held in Union Square, Manhattan as part of the Say Her Name campaign to recognize the lives and deaths of black women killed or injured by police. Miriam Carey's family attended the vigil and her name was highlighted as one of the women to be recognized.^[36] Carey's name and story has also been featured in the Say Her Name publication "Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women".^[37] Carey has been mentioned by critics of the Black Lives Matter movement as an example of the perceived lack of Intersectionality within the movement, citing the lack of coverage and continued discussion of her death.^[38]

And now, back to our story:

There is often a fine line between a peaceful protest and a riot.  That line may be crossed, either accidently or on purpose, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is mass hysteria.  Whenever a bunch of emotionally charged people are crowded together, it's a recipe for mass hysteria.  I think this is programmed into our DNA because it was a survival advantage for our Stone Age ancestors when they were faced with a dangerous job, like killing large animals, or their fellow humans, with primitive weapons.  Nobody in their right mind would willingly walk into a situation like that, so it became necessary for people to band together with other people and work each other up into a frenzy.  After awhile, the mere act of congregating in a large group induced a frenzy even when there was no external need for one, and it has remained a vestigial trait of human nature even unto this day.
