Ableism doesn't only affect disabled people.

Here's a definition of ableism by Black scholars that I think takes in the interlocking nature of it.


ableism 
noun. 

A system of assigning value to people's bodies and minds based on societally constructed ideas of normalcy, productivity, desirability, intelligence, excellence, and fitness. These constructed ideas are deeply rooted in eugenics, anti-Blackness, misogyny, colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism. 

This systemic oppression leads to people and society determining people's value based on their culture, age, language, appearance, religion, birth or living place, "health/wellness", and/or their ability to satisfactorily re/produce, "excel" and "behave." 

You do not have to be disabled to experience ableism.

When Antwaun Rolle heads to the #University of #PrinceEdwardIsland each morning, he faces several roadblocks. The first is a simple but hazardous obstacle — getting down his steps.

Rolle lives with #CerebralPalsy which gives him #mobility issues. He can walk fine when conditions are good, but winter in #Charlottetown presents #challenges .
