Something I find fascinating is that when white women are told off for being racist and upholding white supremacy, they are supposed to "sit down and shut up, Karen", but black men sure don't seem to like it when the tables are turned and they are accused of being just as patriarchal and sexist as white men. Intersectionality my arse.

Right, in fact...a lot of black men use intersectionality to equate their male-ness with the victim class, saying they are oppressed by their race and sex because black men are the ultimate oppressed people. Forever, black men have made black politics centering black men as the ultimate victims and black women as a side note, depicting the toll of racism as "mothers/daughters of black men", instead of acknowledging black women as suffering as black people under white supremacy.
