This means the intersectional narrative of “white man privileged/racist, black man oppressed/“ does not and will not fly. Not as narrative and not as a politically organizing strategy. We are far more transcendent than that.

I look forward to the article, but does the intersectional left actually focus on material conditions? It's much more about cultural issues, no? Identity, guilt, penitence, often intangible issues of consciousness, dignity, etc.?

It’s material in the sense that it’s not transcendent.

That's an interesting point, though bears noting that it's anti-rational and has many features of religion (or maybe I should say a cult)

I’m actually a deeply spiritual person so we will never see eye to eye on this.

Oh yeah, I was definitely talking about intersectionality, not the spirituality of black America!

I actually don't see traditional spirituality as necessarily anti-rational, more as recognizing that there are other important forces as well

It's all Bush's fault. The squishy evangelicals, predictably, dropped the Jesus thing at the exact moment it would have been nice to beat up some moneylenders.
