The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill is nothing if not a keen observer of human behavior. So we should definitely seriously consider what she has to say here:
I have increasingly found that many black men just want better access to patriarchy. They don’t actually want it dismantled.

True, as well as many Black people want better access to capitalism, they don’t actually want it dismantled either. Capitalism is oppression & Black capitalism doesn’t end oppression.

Anyone else have a headache right now?
Black men are Problematic now, you guys. https://t.co/CtKS9iO4EY

"better access to patriarchy"
What a profoundly stupid comment. https://t.co/KJNlDqgZHn

Stupid and — dare we say it? — racist.
There was this weird thing people used to teach me where I wasn't supposed to generalize about people based on immutable physical characteristics over which they have control https://t.co/3wFu2b9Mot

It’s OK, Leon. Your intended point was a good one.

There’s that horseshoe again!
Meanwhile, a piece of parting advice for Ms. Hill:
With all due respect.
You need to take a social media fast. It’s obvious you aren’t doing well right now. https://t.co/gGVYm2GVup
