>5. I will be taken more seriously as a political leader than >black women.
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 >Black Panther Party where an "out" rapist Eldridge >Cleaver can assume leadership position.
>9. I will make more money than black women at equal levels of >education and occupation.
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 >black films are men. I also know that all of the action heroes >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 >are members of my sex.
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.
>41. I can believe that the success of the black family is >dependent on returning men to their historical place within >the family, rather than in promoting policies that strengthen >black women's independence, or that provide social benefits to >black children.
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 >raise a son to be a man.
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.
> >Sports >49. I will make significantly more money as a professional >athlete than members of the opposite sex will.
Well, besides tennis, does any other women's sport generate the same fanfare, interest and revenue?
>60. I am essentially able to do anything inside or outside >without my shirt on, whereas women are always required to >cover up.
It must be the tits!
>63. I have the privilege of not being able to name one female >leader in Africa or Asia, past or present, that I pay homage >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 >weapons of war and mass destruction
And also be a part of that same sex that puts an end to said wars and bring the perpetrators to justice.
>71. In college, I will experience a level of status and >prestige that is not offered to black women even though black >women may outnumber me and out perform me academically.
LMAO Maybe if you're in college on an athletic scholarship and turn out be a god on the court/gridiron.
>Relationships >77. I have the privilege of marrying outside of the race at a >much higher rate than black women marry. >78. My "strength" as a man is never connected with the failure >of the black family, whereas the strength of black women is >routinely associated with the failure of the black family.

>90. If I get into a physical altercation with a person of the >opposite sex, I will most likely be able to impose my will >physically on that person
Men are physically bigger and stronger than women.
>94. I am able to be out in public without fear of being >sexually harassed by individuals or groups.
But they have to fear getting robbed, assaulted or even killed at random.
