Everyone knows about white privilege, what are some good examples of black privilege?

Lots of plusses to being African-American in American.

  1. Lower expectation and standards. You can go further being less qualified. That is by definition how affirmative action works.
  2. White people will almost always back off and let you get away with things they would not let anyone else get away with out of fear of being called a racist and possibly losing their job or being a pariah. I witness this ALL THE TIME. Any white person who is being the least bit honest will admit this.
  3. Can generally act aggressively and other people will back down, again due to fear, this time of violent attack. If a white man and a black man make eye contact, you better believe the white man will avert his eyes first, otherwise it will be construed as a racial assault and aggression may follow. Ask any white man in America this. It absolutely does not exist this notion of white men attempting to intimidate black people. In this day and age, no. A fantasy.
  4. Ability to assault people in a racially motivated way and have it not be covered by the media. This is a fact.
  5. Have people show you excessive "respect" out of white guilt. I see this all time. Again, any white person if they are being honest will admit they act more deferentially to an African American than to an average white person. Fact.

The bottom line is that the whole notion of white privilege is a construct fairy-tale made up people with an attack agenda of demeaning and degrading white people. It's a complete 100% lie. In fact, I think you can make a fair argument that being black in America is where it's at in terms of benefits and overall plusses. Being white means you are assumed to be evil and cheating and probably oppressing people. It's total nonsense.

Let the angry stupid people begin their attack on me! FUCK YOU.
