There's a legitimate fear among many marginalized people that if we don't preserve the special place our particular oppression holds, we'll be forgotten (again).

It's this fear that is behind both a lot of cishet black folks saying "don't equate the queer struggle with the black struggle" and behind a lot of black folks getting squeamish when there's too much talk about the "white working class."

These issues are structurally very different ofc (largely bc "WWC" by definition excludes black folks while, duh, black queer ppl exist) but I like to imagine the biggest pitfalls of both can be ameliorated with conscious and overt shows of solidarity.
