The thing tho, is that no one can really name
any Black male privilege. It's statistically
absent in all counts. If Black men are privileged,
in our society, then privilege really is a useless
discourse, as violence against Black men has reached
genocidal levels. I do get the whole "there are
areas in which you have benefits no one has" angle,
but as stated elsewhere, I feel such talk is a
distraction from important issues and only served
white people in turning the responsibility on the
victims of racism. When you're looking at a
people being systemically murdered, what good is
it doing to tell them to check their privilege
because films are based on violence? That's
absolutely absurd.
