Twitter argument: Do black men have privilege?

[agnosticlady]

Black men do not have any privilege in this country. I've been saying for the longest on here the most black feminist are fukked up inbyhevhead, hate black men, and really just want to be with a non black man OR they want black men to act how they FEEL is right , instead of what is right for the community.

 

[Matt504]

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

the stat is bullshyt but your imagination is somehow valid.

you've been saying it for the longest but saying things consistently doesn't make those things any more valid. Black men have male privilege but try to downplay it because they're comparing their male privilege to white privilege and can clearly see which one is "better".

OK list the male privilege that black men have. Also make sure that list has more than ten points.

here's an entire list.

https://www.deanza.edu/faculty/lewisjulie/The Black Male Privilege Checklist.pdf

the first 10/94.

1. I don't have to choose my race over my sex in political matters. neither do black women
   
2. When I read African American History textbooks, I will learn mainly about black men.what black women are disregarded in AA history textbooks? also, how is this is a privilege?
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.once more, how is this a privilege, and what BW are being forgotten? they only teach us about Malcolm X, King, Tubman and Rosa Parks. it's not like either genders are being fully represented.
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. not according to this: NAACP Board of Directors http://nul.iamempowered.com/who-we-are/executive-leadership/board-leadership
5. I will be taken more seriously as a political leader than black women. can't even be quantified
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". who are these female civil rights leaders who are being discarded?
   
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. the same can be applied to black men
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.black women can create and lead their own liberation organizations however they see fit
9. I will make more money than black women at equal levels of education and occupation.ya got me, black men earn pennies more than BW, even though twice as many BW are employed.
10. Most of the national "opinion framers" in Black America including talk show hosts and politicians are men.not true, and also not a privilege

these idiotic tit for tat list do not prove any black male privilege. black men are more likely to be victims of violence and murder. black men are more likely to be incarcerated. black men are more likely to be homeless. black men are more likely to be killed by police. black men are more likely to be imprisoned for crimes we didn't commit. black women are more likely to find employment. black women are more likely to get the children by default in divorce. black women are more likely to receive government subsidies. black women are more likely to receive bank loans.

i mean, give me a break if these black women suddenly turned into black men tomorrow, their lives would be harder, not easier.

you posted that bullshyt list the same way you posted that bullshyt wage gap statistic.

Someone told you that the wage gap stat was bullshyt and provided you links to back it up, and you conveniently ignored it. In 2 weeks you'll bring up that BS stat again like you haven't learned anything.

Your political ideology overrides facts for you guys, liberal or conservative, ya'll are the same.
Your political ideologies are your religion.

We get higher pay than Black women.

So let me get this straight....some employer is really sitting around looking at the black males and black females at his job and saying, "I'm gonna pay the men $25 an hour and the females $20 for the same job. What could go wrong?"

People who spew that men make more are some clowns. Females take more time off so of course the end pay is lower but the pay rate isn't different. No company can legally pull a stunt like that. And it would bring in wayyyy too much attention if you even tried to.

White Male privilege IS better. Black men DO have Male privilege though. That, I agree with. But we need to keep it in the frame work of Black men having male privilege over Black women and Black women only.
