Support for egalitarian society by race and gender: Image
These were the three survey questions asked: ImageImageImage
Also, here is syntax for anyone to do themselves if they know how, and its weighted to be representative of the National population for each group. This data was crunched by @RezistansM political science PhD. Image
Another thing to note is that the difference between Black men and women in these data is not statistically significant meaning it’s spurious and most likely due to chance. A pairwise t test was performed and there is no meaniful difference. Image

Dr. Tommy Curry was asked about intersectionality:
Many of the intuitions we have about intersectionality are false, but it has taken on a kind of “obviousness” within the cultural lexicon of the public:
Dr. Curry on how intersectionality simply envelopes any critique used against it so much so that many proponents can’t see anything outside of its framework.

Why would this assume Black women are stupid? I find it odd how Black men can be said to be perpetrators of harmful ideas birthed from white folks, but somehow Black women are immune? How does that work?
It’s never been that Black feminist are “too dumb or too stupid.” And it’s NOT that Black women haven’t dealt with their own contradictions with men in Black communities: rather how some BF have conflated, codified, & reused the template WW have with their men, for Black men.
Also, there is this interesting slight of hand that plays out where a critique of Black feminist theory is made out to be an attack on Black women. But all Black women do not understand themselves to be feminist. And many BW who aren’t feminist are often attacked worse than men.

This not even a point of contention that BM are the most progressive group of men. The data shows Black men are actually more progressive than Black women in some categories. Here are a few points. 1) Stances on Abortion 2) BM on Black feminist beliefs 3) BM on gender equality.
Anti Black Misandry is such a feature of prominent discourse that, showing actual evidence to the claim of BM progressive causes dissonance amongst people who don’t even study this literature or speak to Black men about their beliefs. They go off viral twitter post, embarrassing.
“The fact that African American men are equally and, in some cases, more likely than African American women to support black feminist tenets in 2004–2005 clearly supports the findings that appear in prior research.”
— Evelyn Simien, 2004

I thought folks would see it; I thought the contradictions would be self evident. But during the pandemic, your government said fuck you. Millions of people died and millions more have chronic illnesses for life. Rent is high, gas is damn near higher. & you have no healthcare.
It’s not enough to be mad. But it should definitely anger you that the very same politicians who are nonchalant about your life will probably outlive you because they have access to basic necessities and you don’t. You already die more and they laugh in your face about it.
How is it not offensive that ppl who are almost guaranteed to out live you, and do nothing for you, also the ppl who get to chastise you about the methods you take in organizing for political struggle? The masses suffer the most & politicians just wish you’d die quietly about it.

Giving a historical and intellectual genealogy of intersectionality which is very distinct from the “Triple Oppression” that many Black women communist have articulated for over a century. Intersectionality has never been revolutionary.
Cont… Part 2 the conflation between intersectionality (based on juridical tenets) & other modes of thought from Black women socialist/communist is problematic bc intersectionality has always disallowed the sexual vulnerability of Black males based on “Sameness and difference”
So to suggest that someone like Claudia Jones (1949) put forth intersectionality before Crenshaw is absolutely and unequivocally incorrect. Jones was situating Black women within the capitalist mode of production.

Uh oh y’all. It’s the BM privilege checklist.

Look at #1 😂

It assumes that racism and sexism are necessarily distinct, and doesn’t account for the fact that all racism encompasses sex based oppression.
#2 pretends we all don’t all learn about the same 5-6 people in grade school (MLK, Corretta, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks). Pass grade school, Black men don’t even matriculate anywhere near the rates of women. So what privilege?
“I will be taken more serious as a political leader” well that depends on the era I suppose. These categories aren’t static. Today? What Black male political leader gets taken more seriously?
