White males. They're constantly under attack from all sides.

That's clearly far from the truth.

For every successful rapper like Jay Z and 50 Cent, there are thousands of rappers who don't become successful.

And for every successful billionaire like Bill Gates, there are thousands of white men who are homeless, unemployed, destitute, etc. What excuse do they get to use?

No, it's just reality.

Like I said, some people have an excuse for everything, and there are those who believe everything bad that happens to them is due to racism.

So black people are born into a handicap? That's a pretty racist thing to imply, OP.

No, think of it more as Black people being born into a society that handicaps them.

Even poor white men still have forms of privilege over other Black males but this thread isn't about "White men vs Black men" in America. This thread is about Black males and the transgender community.

Lies!

Being a transsexual isn't a choice. Electing to have surgery is. The two are not the same.

This is the dumbest thread I've seen in a long time and that's saying something.
