SPIN: Do y'all ever wish y'all had "privilege" like whites in America?

[Lil' Kartwheel]

Spinoff from the liberal white thread in this section...

I assume that there's a large enough chunk of us black folks to ask this question.

I'm sure all of us can name all the advantages that whites have in America as well. With that said, knowing what whites did to get power and how they still fight to maintain it, do y'all ever wish y'all had "privilege" like whites in America so we could do the same stuff they do?

Simple ass question...drop your comments and opinions.

ETA: I ain't down for oppressing others but I damn sure would love to benefit from my skin color without having anyone question my abilities or assume the worst about me. You know what...scratch that. I'd love to get back at whites...people don't respect kindness and the black diaspora has been too kind for too long.

Nah....

White privilege = A false sense of entitlement.


Honest Pain >>>> Dishonest comfort

 

[AAKing23]

Hell yeah but I wouldn't wish what black people on this planet have to go thru on anyone

I'm better than that

 

[PortCityProphet]

do i wish we did the same things to them as they did to us? no. cuz people shouldn't be treated like that.
do i wish i had their privileges? yea kinda if it makes my life easier than why not
but i think things would completely different cuz white people invented racism so i dont think blacks would treat whites like shyt off GP cuz the only reason we hate them forreal is cuz of what they did to us

So you'd rather have pain than power? That's cool.

nah. i think what she's saying is she would rather go through the struggle to get to where she's going. at least she knows she got there honestly. better to earn your privilege.

Absolutely, I'd love to get that job that I was totally unqualified for and never have to worry about someone taking my position.

Absolutely.

Most clear people fold under pressure. Especially when they realize they're not in that top 5% which subjects them to the perils of everyone else.

They don't hear/understand me though.....

Understandable...at least nobody could ever question your capabilities.

if this is happening, then one should consider changing their surroundings.

most people struggle with very little to show for it becuz they're in a bad spot. cant blame The Man but so much. at some point a nikka gotta get off his ass and decide whats best for him/her.

nah,i'm glad eye got to experience the direct opposite in the jects,it made me exponentially more tough mentally and physically,plus it gave me a concise clarity on the race dichotomy in Amerikkka..

even with that said though i'm willing to bet that white privilege has somehow subtly aided me somehow someway even though on the surface i've felt none
