I definitely agree with your sentiment. Yet with "grift" being defined as 'petty, small scale swindling", for Jamilah to throw this kind of rhetoric into a sea of Karens is much more egregious than that. Not only have we seen how they call for our deaths currently, but we know the history of Black men being lynched to protect a phantom white female purity. What people like Jamilah and Brittney Cooper are doing is absolutely diabolical.

They know white supremacists want to hear them disparage Black men. That's white supremacy's favorite pasttime, so of course white supremacy gives them an outlet for it. That's exactly how they define success/progress, so knowing why a system of white supremacy rewards their behavoir won't stop them. They've already submitted to it. If they were truly honest, they'd just say that.
