And if that straight white male is also a short, poor, ugly, disabled immigrant, he is at the "height of privilege"? Its stupid to generalize like you do.
Everyone has advantages and disadvantages in various situations. Thats not the same as "privilege".
Ok, well, would you rather be a poor Black man in America or a poor White man? Of the two, who do you think would have more opportunities presented to them?
Some of you are living in a fantasy world. Must be nice. Baltimore isn’t all Black btw. I experienced my first act of racism there, just so you know.
The difference is that you will not find any Democratic president who'll defend her.
On the other hand, if she is White and said only Whites will comment. Trump will be on it right away! He's got her back.

Step 1: Make up an event that didn't happen.
Step 2: Make up response to event that didn't happen.
Step 3: Condemn them for it.
Lol...It's like that time you were swimming but got a cramp and I dove in and saved you. Then you said I was super awesome and we hi-fived. So, thanks for the compliment.

Perhaps the Asian man? Who knows, what we do know is that Asians are far less likely to get shot by the police than whites and earn more money than whites and blacks as well. What I do know is that I have met very few black people who wish they were anything other than black.
Or perhaps its better to be a black child than a white child who is bullied in a majority black area for being white? The way you generalize is ridiculous. Not everyone who is white is "privileged". You know fully well that the reason this racist statement about "black journalists only please" gets a pass is because of their skin color. It would never fly if a white person had said that. By your own definition of privilege, that is "black privilege".

You're using the same logic and rules that the other side invented...they never like that.
That's a shame someone in charge of her Twitter page did this.
Um, no, there is no such thing as Black privilege. Try again. Sure, minorities have things like affirmative action so that they would have equal opportunities as whites, not more. But there aren't any advantages to being born Black in this country, society (as a whole) doesn't intrinsically treat you better just for having dark skin. Have you ever heard of such a thing???
The Straight White Male is the height of privilege in America. Just look at your president. Do you think literally anyone else would have gotten away with the trash he's tweeted, or the things he's said or done???? Denying White privilege doesn't make it less real.
No one's saying you have to be ashamed to be White. Accepting your privilege doesn't mean you're succumbing to guilt or whatever. Just be mindful of it and respect others. That's all you have to do.
I regards to Erica Garner's family, good for them! In their shoes, I'd want the same thing.
Don't kid yourself. Obama got away with Treasonous acts of Congress and bypassing the constitution numerous times because Republicans did not want to bring impeachment proceedings against the nations first black POTUS. If that is not the ultimate " black privilege" I don't know what is. The best is that I agreed with Congress. No one wanted to rock the boat when Obama was in office.

If Obama did half the things that Trump (grab her by the *****, and others) did he would have been history and you know it...but, yea, black privilege.
Must be nice lying to yourself.
Your posts don’t have anything to do with privilege, for anyone, but rather your personal resentment for black people.
