13171657, What is Black male privilege in the presence of gendered racism? Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Jul-06-17 08:38 PM

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.
