you keep speaking about it in relation to whiteness.you're regurgitating a bunch of things that have already been stated. im asking you do you NOT think black men are privileged in their own community? do they have power in their OWN community?
tell me what you think the privileges they have and I will tell you if I think they have them because I already said I don't think they do in relation to my concept of privilege. You can't compare black men to white male privilege . You can't compare African American men to African or Caribbean men either.
African American men, due to their unique history, do not have the same type of privilege as a black African from a majority black society with a black history. Maybe I should be clear that I am speaking from an African American perspective about African American men.
Do black men have power within their own community in the USA? No, because you can't separate the idea of privilege from race in THIS country. To say black men have privilege for being male is an oversimplification of the issue and if you fail to see that when people talk about privilege in this country and in this context, it is related to race, just like when they talk about black women disenfranchisement there is always a race component. Any privilege they have is muted by their inability to establish their own in this country, and frankly to be seen as people.
I ask again, what privileges do black males have in their community ,and what communities are you speaking of?
