They used to die at 40 so they had to hustle

I'm pretty much with you except when it comes to intersectionality. Maybe it is not the greatest measure of a Black man's struggle, but the idea is very necessary to measure Black women's struggle, particularly in the U.S. Black women eat all the same shit as non-Black women for being women, then they eat all the same shit Black men must endure; all on the same plate. The worst part is that Black people even reflect White hate for Black people. This means Black women get shit on by all non-Black people, shit on by Black men, and shit on by Black women. Intersectonality does a decent job of forcing people to consider how some hate or struggle is diversified.
Now you can hustle and die at 70They used to die at 40 so they had to hustle
I could see if your point was making folks work earlier so they can retire earlier but I really feel like it just more years of workNow you can hustle and die at 70
More years working and more years stuck in a loveless marriageI could see if your point was making folks work earlier so they can retire earlier but I really feel like it just more years of work
They would retire earlierI could see if your point was making folks work earlier so they can retire earlier but I really feel like it just more years of work
But this is what I'm talking about. It's a bunch of pseudo-intellectual nonsense meant to obfuscate and confuse, ultimately leading to black struggle being appropriated and used to further unrelated causes. The black struggle was never just about the black man. Black women have been front and center from the very beginning, there is nothing necessary about intersectionality. It's only been recently that we've allowed them to tell us we are separate - only now do we feel we need to add tiers to struggle. Crenshaw is nothing more than a tool of the white establishment to further divide the black community in to more easily controlled sects.
The black struggle in America is unique, we do not share common historical grievances with anyone - not hispanics, not asians, no one. We as black men share this with black women and they share it with us. The delta is negligible to non-existent. Those who say otherwise and demand we play a game of "Who is the bigger victim?" with our own kin are the enemy.
They've sent you down a rabbit hole, telling you to get into the weeds and find all the small differences and nuances. And you do. And the end result is an ever more fractured black community because everyone is now 100 times as indignant as they are now being told their black struggle isn't as struggle as this other black person's struggle. While you are steady destroying yourself and your community in the pursuit of the social theory version of Shangri-La, they've used the support they've extracted from you to gain more power and more influence.

Intersectionality isn't about whose the bigger victim. It's acknowledging that people have different experiences and exposes even more things that affect Black people that need to be addressed.
Intent matters naught when the result is what it is. That is exactly what it is in practice. It's a PsyOp wrapped up in a thought experiment.
"Straight Black Men Are the White People of Black People" did exactly what is was actually meant to do. It created a schism where there needn't be one.
That's a huge generalization to make because not everyone views it that way. So to discount it because some have a skewed view of it is short sighted in the long run. If misinterpreted ideas is enough to reason to discount something then there's no reason to ever take anything seriously
No, it is not a generalization and that is not them misinterpreting it, that's the consensus and that is intersectionality in practice. That is what it is fundamentally. The goal is to create a conceptual structure that positions people on an oppressed/oppressor spectrum by way of overlapping identifiers. That is why it is called intersectionality; these people supposedly exist at the intersection of their unique categories of personhood.
It's not supposed. It's reality that we all live. Nobody is identified as just 1 thing. And there's times where those identities will lead to a specific set of issues that need to be addressed. It's not a hard concept at all. As Black men there's shit we go through that's specific to us and only us. We see it daily. And we also need to take actions to address those specific things because unchecked they lead to further issues in our communities. Same with Black women. Part of the problem is rejecting the entire idea because people simply don't like internet chatter about it. Meanwhile the real world application of it is in effect.

The point of it is very specifically against treating issues as individual or in isolation. It directly opposes addressing axises of oppression in isolation. That is directly from the horse's mouth. That is wholly different from the very real thing, that predates all of this nonsense, of acknowledging that we have our separate, unique experiences with the struggle. We do not, and have never, needed Intersectionality for that. Intersectionality is the exact opposite of finding solutions, it's the creation of problems. There isn't an ability to find a solution for a group when the individual is meant to be, fundamentally, unique and distinguishable from it. It manifests as hierarchical and creates friction thereby denying all efforts to generate consensus.
