But a black woman to her advantage can play the gender card.

>8. I can be a part of a black liberation organization like the

>9. I will make more money than black women at equal levels of

Because they're likely to work more hours, aside from men and women in general seldom ever working the same occupations.






>29. When I go to the movies, I know that most of the leads in

>in black film are men.

Because men are in high demand to play said roles.


>30. I can easily imagine that most of the artists in Hip Hop

It's even easier to imagine that men actually care about Hip Hop enough to put the time and effort into making a career out of it.

The same policies that did nothing but enable the crime and delinquency that Black communities have been suffering from since 1964?


>42. I have the privilege of believing that a woman cannot

Judging by the current state of the Black community, he probably has good reason to believe it.



>46. I have the privilege of believing that the failure of the
>black family is due to the black matriarchy.

All enabled by LBJ's War On Poverty and Great Society.

Well, besides tennis, does any other women's sport generate the same fanfare, interest and revenue?

It must be the tits!


>63. I have the privilege of not being able to name one female

>to the way I do male leaders in Africa and/or Asia.

Like Indira Gandhi?




>65. I have the privilege of being a part of the sex that
>starts wars and that wields control of Almost all the existing

And also be a part of that same sex that puts an end to said wars and bring the perpetrators to justice.

LMAO Maybe if you're in college on an athletic scholarship and turn out be a god on the court/gridiron.

Men are physically bigger and stronger than women.

But they have to fear getting robbed, assaulted or even killed at random.
