I am a middle-aged African American father, reeling from the sheer horror of what happened to members of my community in Buffalo. Through my pain, I am praying for all the victims and their traumatized families, friends and neighbors -- and for all the minority Americans who are feeling even more afraid now than they did before.

Because you are male, you were born a winner of the patriarchal jackpot. You are more likely to rise to the top of the career ladder and will be better paid on your way up. The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body. On top of that, because you are White, and you live in a country that is structurally racist, you enjoy the huge privilege your skin color gives you.

No one will try to rob you of your right to vote. You don't need to be terrified of law enforcement officers. You will benefit from better education, health care, job opportunities and finances, for example, than your peers who happen to be Black. Although your ancestors also likely moved here from somewhere else at some point in the past, it probably wasn't as shackled slaves. If you have the added bonus of being Christian, heterosexual, cisgender and able-bodied, then you might well never know firsthand how it feels to be stigmatized, marginalized or hated because of some aspect of yourself over which you have absolutely no control. That makes you very lucky indeed.

People who openly peddle crazed, racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories such as the Great Replacement Theory -- the likes of Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik -- are out to grab power, not to help you.

What is the question?
Don’t know. Probably an incel nutcase.

Mr Black man, you too can CHOOSE to have any of these ‘bonuses’.
Is it just me,,
., or does this read like something written by adam shifty instead of some black guy ?
I think it’s pure fiction agitprop.
👍 (Thumbs Up)
I notice CNN doesn’t allow comments. I wonder why. It might have to do with publishing complete and total BS.
I was born a poor black child - Steve Martin was ahead of the NAZI race hustlers time. Comedy becomes today nightmare.

Talk about blood guilt.
As a white, Christian, hetrosexual, male can I ask you if this is such a systemic racist nation, why not emigrate to any African country of your choice. I’m sure there’s plenty of blacks there willing to be oppressed, American style.

I didn’t bother reading his drivel (since it came from the Communist News Network) but I searched for a question mark and there wasn’t one. So either the poster edited it out or the title is a lie.
“The question is “what will you do with your luck?””
I do feel lucky - not because I’m a white male - but because I was raised to be skeptical, and taught how to think for myself.
I look at all these brainwashed Leftists and I feel sorry for them. It can’t be pleasant being made fools of day-in and day-out. On some level they must know they are being brainwashed - even the dumbest ones must suspect something’s not right - brainwashing is kind of like mental torture.
No wonder they are so angry.
Every day I thank my lucky stars that I was spared the humiliation of being dumb enough to actually fall for the Marxist horseshit this guy is repeating verbatim.
He is what Lenin called a useful idiot.
The shooter had known mental issues. And not one Rat is willing to discuss the ongoing negligence. Tucson. Parkland. Newtown. Buffalo.
CNN can puff the magic dragon.
No quelling this guys sorrow...BUT, there is not such thing as white privilege in America, today. In fact, the scales are tilted more heavily in favor of the non-white communities.
The fact, further, that the black community (particularly) continues to fare poorly is much more an affirmation of the ‘success’ of the War on Poverty...the destruction of the black nuclear family, the continue rot within the education system that puts more emphasis on sexuality than basic knowledge, and the ongoing abrogation by the judicial system of its obligation to enforce the laws of the various political subdivisions of this Nation.
100%
What I’ve never understood is why all these people who have suffered under “white supremacy and racism” haven’t left the USA for any of the countries in Africa where there would be “black supremacy “ and they would be in the majority. They seem to hate everything about America, but never enough to leave.
Thank you-I read that, and thought there must be a majority of people on and off this forum who feel exactly as I do on that.
I don’t delude myself-that is, I know there are far too many who buy into that hook line and sinker.
But...I think I know how WE feel about it!
