You are extrapolating a lot from what I said and that's what makes your remarks obtuse. You don't need to be churlish about being called out on that. Again with the tilting at windmills.
The fact of intersectionality is that these groups intersect. That is all I said.
Almost every group you can imagine intersects at some point. Why is
this intersection so valuable or meaningful? How is police brutality against black people related to
white gays being sent to conversion camp?
The reality of that is made clear when you have the founders of BLM being three-out-of-three women and two-out-of-three LGBT.
The only reality that makes clear is that people with multiple 'oppressed' traits tend to be at the forefront of radical university movements and therefore got in ahead of the mass support (did Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory represent the entire Women's March when they stated that Zionism and feminism were incompatible?).
It's a bit like a Guardian journalist going to a village in Kashmir to get their perspective and wind up interviewing a guy who gets
his knowledge from reading the Guardian. That's a real thing, btw, especially where I am.
How can Black women who are also the victims of police violence be subverting the movement by relating their own experiences with that?
They're not, and you're now in
motte mode.
What
would be subverting the movement would be talking about how the patriarchal family model nerds to be
abolished in favor of Marxist collective childcare. You can believe that black people would be better off with it, but it's not clear why it should be fought for at the same protest as the police officer choking a guy to death.
You should know the matter of Breonna Taylor's death being far less publicized than that of George Floyd is an issue for BLM protesters, not because of your imaginary white commissars coming in and dictating correct policy, but because there are Black people for whom it is relevant and serious that Breonna Taylor be attended with the same respect as George Floyd.
Actually, what I heard were complaints that the naked protestor image was taking attention away from 'black women protest twerking'.
George Floyd is a celebrity martyr and he blew up organically, not because he was deliberately promoted by the media
as opposed to a black woman being killed in similar manner. It's not clear what another death not having equal 'screentime' should prove (does the Tank Man take attention away from everyone else who died at Tiananmen Square?).
Also, police very disproportionately kill men. So this is an example of female privilege, is it not?
It may boggle your mind, but a political movement can attend to many controversies and, possibly even, debate them and grow.
A movement that constructs an entire worldview and punishes those not on board with every aspect of it is just a cult.
It's no question to me or anyone if Black people will protest for gay rights. Of course they will. There are Black LGBT people and allies. Likewise, there are white trans people who would prefer not to be raped by the police in holding cells, and there are white people who for any reason at all agree the police shouldn't be allowed to murder people indiscriminately in the streets for nonviolent crimes. I don't see any queer people derailing the movement by choosing to show up in support and solidarity at a BLM protest. Once you show up to a BLM protest and march, you are marching for the cause. I think you can only call that subversion if you're a goon cop trying to trick people into not protesting.
Uh, no,
protesting as a particular demographic is not derailing the movement. Using that protest to
advocate for your own demographic and to push policies black people
overwhelmingly don't want, on the other hand...
If there's anything at all that definitely pushes groups together and makes unlikely allies, it's probably the anti-BLM protesters who can't help themselves pivoting from their racist dogwhistles to "kill transgenders" and "kill [slur for homosexuals]."
It's the other way around, although convincing you of that is probably a lost cause (every politically active person in America is exposed constantly to intersectionality propaganda).
