Twitter argument: Do black men have privilege?

[YeLovesBoston]

white people don't think they have privilege either.

Because they have the luxury of society where almost everything works for them. I do not.

But could you elaborate on the privileges I have?

Yes, Black men have male privilege.

Black men have male privilege. I don't understand why they don't just call it male privilege, why call it Black Male Privilege? Black men only have privilege over Black women. There's no privilege that black males enjoy that men of other races don't. Black Male privilege is simply male privilege over Black women. Not over women of any other race. There's no trophies for being Male AND Black. Only trophies for being Male.

Everyone has some kinda of privilege

 

[King Kreole]

women are sub human tools of male enjoyment. seeing women as equals is a CAC social contrsuct. our ancestors never treated women as equals. the only people that believe in gender equality are CACS and c00ns that worship CACs

What is this male privilege black men enjoy?

Are you trying to a point for or against this notion?

what am saying is women are not our equals and we should not treat them as such. the notion of women and men being equals is a new construct that CACs created for devilsih reasons.



the same with homosexaulity and men being faithful to one bytch

the first 10/94.

1. I don't have to choose my race over my sex in political matters.
2. When I read African American History textbooks, I will learn mainly about black men.
3. When I learn about the Civil Rights Movement & the Black Power Movements, most of the leaders that I will learn about will be black men.
4. I can rely on the fact that in the near 100-year history of national civil rights organizations such as the NAACP and the Urban League, virtually all of the executive directors have been male.
5. I will be taken more seriously as a political leader than black women.
6. Despite the substantial role that black women played in the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power Movement, currently there is no black female that is considered a "race leader".
7. I can live my life without ever having read black feminist authors, or knowing about black women's history, or black women's issues.
8. I can be a part of a black liberation organization like the Black Panther Party where an "out" rapist Eldridge Cleaver can assume leadership position.
9. I will make more money than black women at equal levels of education and occupation.
10. Most of the national "opinion framers" in Black America including talk show hosts and politicians are men.

Any "privilege" that black men have comes with being a male, but I feel our blackness counterbalances that "privilege."

because it's not my responsibility to educate adults on subjects they'd prefer to remain ignorant about.

We get higher pay than Black women.

This stat is bs in general and I'd imagine even more so in this case with black women employment far above black male
