Here's some good news for all you black folks complaining about racism in America.
You don't know how good you have it.
At least that's the message I heard during one of the strangest conversations I've ever had about race. I was talking about the concept of white privilege -- the belief that being white comes with unearned advantages and everyday perks that its recipients are often unaware of. I asked a white retiree if he believed in the existence of white privilege. He said no, but there was another type of privilege he wanted to talk about:
"Black privilege."
Confused by his answer, I asked him to give me an example of a perk that I enjoyed as a black man that he couldn't. His answer: "Black History Month."
"In America you can't even talk about whiteness," said Drew Domalick, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "If you try to embrace being white, you are portrayed as being a racist. If we had a White History Month, that would be viewed as a racist holiday."
Domalick isn't the only one who believes in black privilege. The term is being deployed in conservative circles as a rhetorical counterattack to the growing use of the term "white privilege." It's part of a larger transformation: White is becoming the new black....

Actually, to make sure the two don’t get confused it might be better to refer to special privileges for blacks as Black Entitlement - as in my great-great-great-great-grandfather might have been a slave, so I’m entitled to special school, housing, employment etc etc considerations.....
Stole it.
Black privilege: The ability to preach Fundamentalist Protestant sermons in substandard, heavily-Southern-accented English, and not be made fun of by liberals.
Lol! In this day and time, literally a job where only whites need apply!
Negro privilege
Let’s talk about black failure...
Or is that “racist” too?
Being older, and having survived the racially turbulant 60s. I was recently called a Cracker by a young man. I stopped, turned to him and said, ‘ I am not sure how you meant that, but I prefer to be called Saltene American.’ For a moment he seemed quite confused, as I walked away.
Black privilege.
As a white male, I feel micro-agressed several times a day.
How about White Male Heterosexual Christian Conservative Month? /s
The race studies woman McIntosh, States that whites claim that there is black privilege because whites resent being questioned about their white privilege. You can easily reverse that and say blacks resent being challenge d on their black privilege and claim racism, which think they do.
Now that is something I think we can swing.
“But a white man must only date white women. To be seen with a black woman is to invite trouble. It can be done, but it’s risky. so it tends to have limited visibility.”
This is something the media masters are attempting to condition out of people. Latest example I saw was the recent walking dead, where rick porked the samurai. Also in that show the redhead bearded white guy is fixing to pork the light skinned petite but tough mulatto (?) girl. The only white with a white relationship I’ve seen in that show, come to think of it, was the brief encounter between old girl and that chubby helpy mchelperton guy. It didn’t last very long...
In our society, lots of white girls choose to be mud sharks. But magnitudes fewer white guys elect to do the same.
My application for membership in the NAAWP came back marked “address unknown”, ...again.
“That’s Racist” should be changed to “Dats Rayciss”.
When you do the actual research, black criminals are less likely to be arrested per crime than white criminals.
Police, overall, treat black people with more care than white people.
Extra points on SAT exams for college entrance, is another.
BRM black role models are severely needed in person and with a shelf life.
Minority rights groups get money from companies by strong-arming them and also get unqualified black people in top positions.
Genius.
