It hurts for me to finally say this publicly because I have been friends with black feminists
At this point, it should be abundantly clear that Black feminism, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is an agent of White Supremacy.

First, the contents of the article.
The author doesn't say anything new. These arguments have been made, rehashed, discussed, argued and made again. In fact we have a clear close to 50 years of Black feminists making these similar statements

If they were right back in the 1970s and we have been engaging with this perspective for that long, why are we still listening to the same thing today? The interesting part to me is the author bringing up Black women raising Black sons.

If they are the ones raising Black boys, at one point do they play a role in what's happening? So if the responsibility lie solely on Black men, how do we effectively bring change? Well, let's go talk to White people about it which is the next major point

This is being published in Vanity Fair. If this is a problem with other Black men, why write to us in an audience full of White women? If this is internal, why do non-Blacks have to be involved, which gets at the core of the issue.

There aren't concerted efforts coming from Black feminist to address these issues they are raising. All of their publications on White owned media are all blasting us. They flame us on TV in books, journal articles and mainstream White presses but they never sit down & talk w/ us

Which all leads to why?
Why continue to portray us in this way publicly? Especially when some of the talking points are similar to overt White Supremacists talking points? The only reason I can come up with is my main claim, it's an agent of White Supremacy.

How do I know I'm right? Just scroll through multiple social media apps. Listen to Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse discussions. Matter of fact, listen to any conversation between Blacks who holds to this Black feminist view & those who don't. There is not one fruitful conversation.

I'll close with this, the evidence is clear. All we do is fight each other. How can fighting each other solve the issues Black feminists are attempting to address?
It can't and it's clear, it's an agent of White Supremacy.
