208042, depends on what somebody means by "trans-racial"

if by "trans-racial" they mean "racism is over" - then yea, that's just an absurd concept and ceases to have any meaning.

if by "trans-racial" - they mean moving beyond conventional models of race classification in an attempt provide more robust and expansive models of self-identification - then that has validity (scientifically, socially, and culturally).

For sure - but you said "privileged." Privilege tends to refer to power/opportunity/access to positions of power/prestige - and black men have attained positions of power and risen on the ladder of hierarchal power within authoritative positions before white women in many instances in this country. But if we're talking about who is profiled and subjected to racism and prejudice? Obviously it's not even a debate.
