  No, it's a white patriarchal system. If you think that patriarchy means "men can do whatever they want without consequence", rather than, "men are in control of the power hierarchy", you don't understand patriarchy. A hierarchy run by men favors men, but there are still men at the top of that stratification, and men at the bottom. And guess which of those men go to prison.

    It should not be "men run the hierarchy", it should be "everyone who runs the hierarchy is a man" The former suggests the entire group somehow has power, which is not the case. While the latter is more limiting. It is not completely irrelevant that only men are in power - if everyone in power was a woman, there would probably be, e.g. cheaper tampons. But it has little effect on most men who are not in power. They are just as oppressed as most women.

  >so is it a white matriarchal system oppressing men and minorities No, obviously it isn't a matriarchal system. Patriarchy can and does oppress men as well as women, likewise white supremacy can oppress white people even as it's designed to oppress others more.

  Non sequitur and false equivalence. Men being disadvantaged in the justice system doesn't inherently make it matriarchal. Absolutely absurd point to bring up to deflect on racial injustices.

    "Minorities being disadvantaged in the justice system doesn't inherently make it racist" is the point he was making.
