This just came to my mind

Tandy didn’t get the cloak ability obviously because she’s a runner, she didn’t need any help. Also in a way her white privilege is her cloak. She can move easier in the world, no cloak needed. BUT her being a woman is also kind of an invisibility. How men don’t really see her on a fair level. How rich guy sees her as less so he corners her in that ally.

Tyrone damn sure didn’t need the dagger ability. He’s got all that “poisin” in him just waiting to unleash on the cop. Him being a black male translates so negatively to ignorant people, they probably believe he’s got a weapon on him always. To society, his skin color IS the weapon.

Tandy’s white privilege works until her being a woman in today’s world kicks in. Her dagger helps her take back the control men think they are entitled to have over her.

Tyrone’s male privilege is cool until his blackness overrides it. The world labels him a thug. His cloak allows him to get justice for his brother in a way America doesn’t expect: rationally and without violence.
