>Ever walk a girl to her car on a late night?

Yes.

>Do you walk your homeboy?

Yes. I walk my peoples out.


That you have to do your home girl and not your homeboy is a privelege in itself.

>Also can't downplay the being bigger physically. That's huge!!!

It is huge, but it's an ADVANTAGE and not a privilege. It's also neutralized by the reality that I can be shot, stabbed, beaten by a mob, arrested by the police, etc. What 'privilege' is there in being bigger if I can't use it for any advantage?

A real example of actual privilege would be star athletes that assault or rape (or both), and get off because of their star status. The privilege in that isn't their size, but rather the system that supports negative behaviours by star athletes. Of course, only a small percentage of black men are star athletes so this isn't a 'black male privilege' but rather a 'star athlete privilege'
