In this article, I argue, using the example of blacks in America and the diaspora, that intersectionality is an absurd and contradictory bourgeois conception utilized, in my example, by the black bourgeoisie as they seek equality of opportunity, recognition, and distribution with their former white colonial masters within postindustrial capitalist relations of production. As such, the article concludes that in the age of postindustrial capitalism concepts such as intersectionality, hybridity, double consciousness, etc., are not revolutionary or counterhegemonic; instead, as promoted by the bourgeois “others,” they are reproductive, (post) modern, and fascist. This contradictory conflict wherein the bourgeois “others” seek equality of opportunity, recognition, and distribution, with their former white colonial masters by convicting the latter for not applying their humanist values to the discriminated against intersectional other who are, paradoxically, oppressed by the very humanist values the whites uphold for themselves, the author calls the humanist problem. In other words, intersectionality, hybridity, double consciousness, etc., are concepts used by the bourgeois “other” to highlight and convict the white, capitalist, and patriarchal power structure for not living up to their universal (human) values as recursively organized and reproduced by the intersectional other as they seek equality of opportunity, recognition, and distribution as a simulacra (discriminated against) “other” within said power structure and its deleterious effects, i.e., exploitation, climate change, discrimination, etc., which threatens the “other” and all life on earth.
