Black privilege?

I'm literally gagging. Ran across someone who thinks black people have black privilege because they can turn around and scream "racism" at you over the stupidest things. It's so tone-deaf, I just... ugh. And the kicker? He's a white guy who wants to date black women... I don't even...

Well, misogyny never stopped straight men from dating women, so it stands to reason a white guy can chase after black pussy and still be an anti-black racist.

That doesn't surprise me. The word "privilege" carries a lot of different connotations depending on the context that a lot of people still aren't familiar with. It's constantly a point of confusion and misunderstanding among many.

No, this dude is literally a Trump-voting SJW-hating right-winger.

Yes this person obviously doesn't have an adequate understanding of progressive principles regarding privilege. At least as far as discussion that you're willing to entertain.

And though while it suggest a lack of particular nuance in one's character, broadly speaking, it's not as if it isn't a give/take of beneficiary aspects between despite fairness of arrangement or lack thereof.

He really doesn't understand that finding a conservative black woman who shares his views is about as likely as finding a pin on Mt. Everest. In less than a week.

I wouldn't call it "privilege," but there are certainly areas where blacks have a social advantage these days. You might find that repulsive, but facts are facts. Obviously there are places where being black (or at least black and male) is a disadvantage as well. Which side is right? Both, and neither, depending on viewpoint. People used to try to pass as white, and now people try to pass as not.

Rare to find you addressing something I brought up. So lemme counter. Not disputing that, certainly, but I do believe this directly flies in the face of his dream of getting a black girlfriend. It's like he possesses no sense of self-awareness, not knowing most black women to be very liberal, very independent, and very opinionated. There is a stereotype black women are high-maintenance and hard to handle, but that's mainly because I see black women as being very tough after stuff like the Feminist movement and civil rights movement. If you're white and have a black girlfriend, you're going to expect a charged discussion on racial and gender issues in America, but... he isn't very mature about this. And he's not very educated. So any differences you could overlook because of the deep love you have for your partner? I don't see working out for him. He even admits to looking down the shirt of his black coworkers at his job. It's appalling. Oh, and he claims to regret voting for Trump, but he still boils down the political mess in America to "Democrats vs. Republicans," "left vs. right," "liberals vs. conservatives," or as Chuck has and will probably put it again in the future:

And shows no real signs of understanding the nuances or complexities that go into this. So him having voted for Trump and having shown no real signs of growth past that despite claims of regret feels like a false and hollow gesture, especially since I know what he's like in private, very intense, unstable, and asks stupid, offensive, disturbing questions.
