Everything that a black man achieves in relation to black women is due to privilege, but everything black women achieve over black men is due to black women just being awesome "get your shyt together black men"

It's just about recognizing your privilege and using it in positive way. For example, able-bodied people respecting handicapped parking and bathroom stalls, making sure things are accessible for the disabled. Putting ramps and elevators in public and government buildings. Or using your privilege to educate others in your privilege group about the underprivileged becaused privilege people don't usually look past their privilege or recognize when others are underprivileged. Ex. White folks are more likely to listen to other white folks explain privilege. They usually feel attacked or dismissive when a minority/PoC calls them out.

The handicap examples are common sense not privilege IMO. I guess technically its a privilege but everybody should have base level tools. Like I said before are women educating other women wholesale on their privilege? People in general don't do that so that's why I don't get the point of bringing it up. Like you said everybody has something they get "privilege" on so why isn't everybody doing this? That's why I personally look at people of any gender kicking this stuff to be on some stuff. I agree with you second example.

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

To be honest this sounds extremely ignorant. The notion of not treating our women as equals is crazy. I think Common said it best.

"to go beyond the surface, a person's is a person When we lessen our women our condition seems to worsen"
- Common


But I will give you credit. You're extremely honest. I don't agree with your statement, but the honesty is respectful.

black women are treated as our equals, which is a large part of the problem. got black women bytching about how black women aren't being protected or provided for. when i'm wondering, when the fukk does a man protect or provide for someone he views as his equal?

Either way, white privilege trumps whatever privilege black men or women may or may not have

Jesus tap dancing Christ this is the dumbest shyt ever.

African Americans PERIOD are treated as second class subjects in this country. Arguing Black Male "privilege" vs Black Female "priviledge" is like arguing over which Arm you'd rather lose over the other, you are at a disadvantage EITHER WAY.

It's a separation tactic. A way to breed resentment amongst our own damn race.

Yes, women have to worry about sexual assault, on their way home.
much like, how a nikka have to worry about getting jumped, shot, robbed, frisked, falsely incarcerated, or killed by police.What can i say, making your way home is quite dangerous.


And speaking of sexualt assualt, women can falsely yell rape, and change the dynamics of a man's life.
Especially the life of a blk man. A woman's word, is held in higher regards than a blk man's existence.
Some blk male privilege, huh?

I was recently, in a Tyson's rape case thread. Tupac's name, was also brought up in there. both Tyson n Tupac had status, influence, and were on top of their feild.
Yet, the lives of both men, were altered by the words of a woman.


The same rich white men, who created this society, and these priveleges for themselves. Also make it their buisness, to emasculate blk men.


The other stuff u talking about, just make no sense. Like, bruh wtf?blk men r priveleged because, they dont take care their kids?
How the fukk is that a privelege?
U bring up not finding an abortion clinic. that's not a privelege, or a non privilege. that's an inconvenience.

- Yes, there are certain issues black men go through (being deemed hyper-aggressive by law enforcement, expectations of masculinity, etc) that black women, for the most part, don't have to go through. I would say those are black female privileges. That doesn't negate the privilege I have of not being sexually assaulted. Here's the thing most people don't understand about privilege: it's not a zero-sum game. Due to my socio-economic background, I would say that I have had a more privileged life, in totality, than some white hillbilly growing up in the Ozarks. Does that mean that there is no white privilege? Of course not.

- As for the sexual assault, it's far, far more likely that a woman is sexually assaulted without due justice than a man is falsely accused. It's ridiculous to posit that women, especially black women, have sexual privilege in this society over males. Look at rape or sexual assault stats vs false accusation stats.

- How is not being a single parent a privilege? Raising a child is an incredibly difficult experience, and it's much easier for one gender to bounce than it is for the other. People don't abandon a family because it's too easy, they leave because it's too hard.

- The abortion issue is clearly gendered. Only one gender is eligible for the procedure, and it's not the gender that has historically decided its availability. Having ready access to an abortion is pretty clearly a privilege, seeing how high the stakes are. The fact that it's easier to get a nose job than an abortion isn't a mistake, it's clearly a result of socio-political activism.

Listen, claiming black males have certain privileges doesn't mean that in every circumstance it's better to be a black male. It's just being mindful that there are certain issues that others go through that you don't have to.

People bring it up because people don't do it. That's the point - to educate and be mindful.

I mean as a black man in america your only real privilege is that you don't have to worry about stalker women or a female raping you when you're on the street alone. From what I understand black men get paid more too when employed, but other than that I can't really think of any social privileges you get for being a black man other than respect from other black men.

I remember arguing with somebody on here about patriarchy in the black community because they said the black community isn't a matriarchy.
I stated if the black community isn't a matriarchy then a matriarchy will never exist in your eyes.

My family is African, and Africans are very patriarchial. In contrast when I'm with American blacks, I know more female head of households than men, I know more female supervisors with hiring power, I know more females with college educations, I know more black female college professors than men, more female business owners, I know more females with stable careers and jobs period, more media catering toward women, women set the cultural norms and what's acceptable.

Black women are in the drivers seat in almost every element of the black community except for the church and even that'll probably change soon. And even that is because women actively choose to subscribe to a church/religion with a patriarchal head figure, black men don't force black women into churches.

Black people in America are the prime example of a matriachy.

Patriarchy in the black community? Who are the patriarchs??????

Let's not shyt on black women now

I am often accused of being extremely patriarchal, but let me say this.

It seems like there are always accusations of being divisive and causing resentment whenever black women address our unique experiences, how we feel about them, and how these experiences impact us.

If women are saying (In general, which means it does not apply to every single man on this earth) - I don't like how black women are treated by black men and I don't like how other black men are complicit in this treatment; why is the natural response to become resentful and shut down the conversation, as opposed to actually listening without sarcasm or contempt?

Who is really causing the division? Who is really building the resentment?

It seems like many black men have it in their heads that the only way there will be unity as a group, is if women just shut up, cater to male egos, and be content with whatever treatment they receive.

I have said it before and I will say it again, we will either rise together or fall together. And in order to rise and come together, we need to resist the urge to be dismissive and disrespectful and actually acknowledge some hard truths head on.

The "tit for tat, you did this, you did that, shut up I don't care" needs to stop for both men and women. You don't throw out stabs when you are trying to heal wounds. We are not each others enemies. But if we do not realize that soon, we will all keep banging our heads against the walls.
