I agree and on top of that why a lot of these cats male/female are these down for the cause looking cats. Its really true oftentimes you can tell what a person probably into by how they look.

Most of them don't. Unless you like being a groupie for whites they ain't go no damn privilege that's usable for most of them either that's why they where they are. Y'all cats act like all white people just got it made on easy street. Most are living just like we are. The top whites have privilege but the everyday whites we seeing yeah right. If they got privilege they sure ain't using it right.

Well if this is the case and I can agree with it whats the point of speaking on the next persons privilege? The only reason I can see is you're just trying to be greedy and take more privileges for yourself and or acting like a victim.
The laws in America disagree with you

White men have more privelage than white women, but that doesn't mean black men have that much privalege then black women.

I know black women get the gutter a lot, but black men sometimes get the shafts more than they do in certain areas like police abuse. I don't mean to insult any black women's experiences of course .

Its just that the racial structure of america kind of hurts black men from enjoying much privelage, like with racial profiling.

I also agree with what @xyz77 said.

So you just copy and paste a list ? :martin:

Cmon breh,it's really hard to take you serious right now...

I almost feel like you're making the :lolbron: face as you're posting.

why should I re-invent the wheel when someone else has an entire list?
