Imagine for a minute if the Black community was unhindered by "Black Culture" - the black culture that was hard set by the early 2000s - the whole "being a thug is part of your culture, education is the white devil's tool, Black Fathers Fuck Off, Welfare is the niggers right" "culture" that was cultivated for mainstream consumption.
Imagine an educated black community, a productive black community. A productive American society.
The progressive left wouldn't be able to get a solid foothold on that. They'd have no issues to exploit, no "violent revolution" that'd need to take place.
Now they've completed their destruction phase of the black community, it's the isolate phase.
During the Democratic primaries, I was working on a theory that the left was feeling outright embarrassed by the black community. They tried out all their liberal policies on blacks before the nationwide rollouts, and it just made life worse for them. Going into the late 90's, they kind of gave up because they ran out of fixes.
I think that's how intersectionality came into prominence. The usual excuses of "blacks aren't the problem, they just need more welfare/benefits/jobs/education/funding" failed for the 40 years after The Great Society. They ran out of excuses, and needed a new one for why liberal policies didn't work in the cities they controlled.
So they came up with "blacks aren't the problem,
everything else is racist and oppressing them". At least the Marxists were honest when they were trying class analysis; intersectionality just treats the labelling of any class as the analysis itself.
(Of course those excuses running out also energizes the white supremacist/nationalist arguments we've had in this thread, as well. I directly blame the liberal refusal to debate their own failings, or salvage the non-racial justifications of the approaches, for the rise of the alt-right.)
In that light you can view BLM as the far left counterpoint to the Candace Owens style Blexit movement: a recognition by blacks themselves that they have been abandoned by their traditional political allies. If the liberals aren't going to try any more, blacks want to try something on their own, and the George Floyd incident is the excuse they grabbed to go off. It's not a coincidence this all happened after the Democratic nomination was wrapped up, with everyone patting Biden on the back for getting high black support without even campaigning.
Owens says "try Republicans", BLM says "fuck whitey of any party". And now co-opted BLM says "fuck whitey but also vote for Democratic whiteys". You hate to see it.
(At some point, someone might bother trying to fix the black community from within the black community, instead of pushing an ideological project onto the problem. But that would require treating blacks as
people, not as guinea pig test subjects or pet projects that you can grab federal budget to play with.)
