Why intersectionality is a deflection of the problem.

Intersectionality is a scam, it’s a weak manipulative denial of the effects of white domination on the worlds populace. It does not serve Black people and it was never designed to.

If intersectionality were a person, It would be a person being murdered by an assailant whom won’t fight back but instead will cry about each symptom of the attack. The arm will complain about being singled out as it is stabbed, the abdomen will advocate that it has endured the most pain because it was repeatedly punched, the neck will bruise and point out that it was the only one choked, the legs will crumble under the pain of the body and scream about how it was illegitimately tied to the pain of others, and while this attack goes on the whole time the body is refusing to work as a single unit to defend against the attacker and deter it’s own murder. Instead while crying out about the symptoms each part of the body will blame the other body parts for its attack, or make the other body parts accomplices for not enduring the same specific ailment, in the same exact way. When in reality the whole body is under attack from an outside invader.

Intersectionality is a deflection from the cause of oppression. It’s an ill conceived idea that we should be so consumed with the symptoms of oppression as it pertains to each of us, that we ignore the root CAUSE of the oppression; which at its core, is killing, maiming, economically starving, and ostracizing Black people from humanity as a WHOLE. It’s about making symptoms the focal point rather than defending one’s self from the assailant, and hence ending the attack.

It’s short sighted, and in some ways it’s cowardly because we won’t even call out the group of people whom are leading the attack against us, whom have organized against and whom oversee systems of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, inflated governments and discrimatory policies, and pathologies often tied to religious views, and political orientation- that eliminate or diminish Black human worthiness. We completely ignore the group whom spreads ideologies of Black dehumanization across the planet and reflect them in all forms of media, policy, economics, religion, racist science, and all human activity. Instead we get caught up fighting other oppressed groups for the “most” oppressed title. A title where the winner only gets to be recognized as the biggest loser.

Black People don’t need intersectionality. We need a collective and wholistic perception and agenda against attacks as a whole. We must understand that while Black people are NOT a monolith and have diverse backgrounds, genders, religions, sexual orientation etc., none of that erases our Blackness, and since anti-blackness is a world wide epidemic it is ALWAYS a factor in how other forms of oppression are waged against us.

As it stands there is NO none Black Country that we can escape to, to avoid racism. And even in Afrikan countries were forced to combat racism infused into the culture via colonialism and imperialism. So there are no safe spaces and no escape.

If a person hates women and wants to rape, kill, and human traffic, women and girls with the least amount of risk, which group of women are going have the least legal and social protections, hence better targets?

-Black girls & women

If a person wants to violently assault or maim gay people or trans, which group is the most vulnerable and posed the least legal repercussions because society has no value for them.

-Black gay and tran

If a person wants to feed their own ego and stalk, harass, and wage unprovoked physical aggression against others while being perceived as a neighbor hood hero, or protector of the public which group of people will suffer the most victimization?

-Black boys & men

If a systems wants to commodify and weaponize it’s prisons for profit, which group of people is it going to over criminalize and charge?

Black people.

None of this is to say that crimes against Black people go unpunished but rather that they get the most minimal punishment in comparison to crimes committed against non black victims as a collective. Refer to police brutality, and the very few officers that have ever been convicted let alone charged. There’s also LaTasha Harlins, Trayvonn Martin, Ahmaud Arbery, Botham Jean, Tamir Rice and the list goes on...Heck review just about any crime committed against Black communities and you’ll find that justice is rarely or just barely carried out, and if there is any part of justice acted on it’s only after massive media and public outrage and even then it’s not guranteed. Regardless of the Black victims social, sexual, gender, economic etc., status getting justice for Black victims is an uphill battle where the Black victims, human worthiness gets put on trial right along with the aggressors acts, where arguments are made publicly by both the media and opposing side, that some how the Black victim deserved to be victimized.

So you see it doesn’t matter where your “intersection” lies of your Black, the facts is when your BLACK it’s open season for anyone looking for a victim to harm or exploit; and anyone that has an issue with gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, etc., they can come to the Black community and find a target that society doesn’t gives a damn about. And we know this is true because Black people are the MOST disproportionately victimized people in the world, and in the US we are the largest group of people victimized by all types of aggression, rape, assault, state violence, mass incarceration and economic exploitation.

So I say we never needed intersectionality it was a divide and conquer tactic sold to us, to dictate how we oughta perceive being attacked by one group as an an attack being led by everyone. It’s an endorsement of the authority of the colonialist whom lead this empire, and the labels they imprinted on us via white domination, the ruling class.

So we need to purge those ideas, which are euro pathology and shed all these artificial hierarchies ingrained in us by colonialism. By Valuing all Black people as EQUAL humans; and recognizing that whiteness is persecuting anything that’s not white male, and the further away you are on the scale from whiteness the more under attack you are. Well Black people are the opposite of whiteness and hence will always be waged with the most attacks.

So we’ve gotta throw out intersectionality because if your Black intersection just boils down to most penalized within any other group you fall into be it gender, sexual orientation or otherwise.

Which is why we need to utilize External sectionally to vet other groups on this systems hierarchy of oppression for potential allies when and where we have the power to hold them accountable to terms of mutual interest.
