To the Black LiIES Matter klan. Actually, in today’s America, the tables have turned. What we are witnessing now is black privilege. African-Americans are accorded special treatment across the board. “Victim status is treasured in America,” says Ben Shapiro, “and black skin guarantees automatic victim status thanks to America’s history.” Being black today, Shapiro concludes, grants privileges ranging from landing coveted college scholarships to becoming activists who can build careers on racial grievances. Here are some examples of black privilege:
Affirmative action quotas are the norm in education and employment—“more firmly entrenched in our society than ever before,” says Scott Greer.
Political correctness supports anything related to African-Americans and condemns anything related to Caucasian-Americans.
College and university courses are specially designed for black students.
Black students benefit from the lower standards applied by college professors who practice “affirmative grading.”
Corporate diversity programs. reports that corporations offer programs and internships to black workers but not to whites.
Diversity training represents blacks in a positive light and whites negatively.
Many courts are reluctant to prosecute blacks for various criminal acts in fear of being called racist.
Blacks can belong to clubs and organizations that cater specifically to their race, “but there’s no National Association for the Advancement of White People because such a group would be deemed racist.”
Media bias caters to positive depictions of blacks and avoids negative ones.
“Black pride” is considered a form of empowerment; “white pride” is considered a form of racism.
Blacks can get away with racial slurs, but whites can’t use the N word.
Hollywood casting has completely turned around as a consequence of aggressive lobbying by black special interests.
Black privilege even extends to the White House, observes author David Horowitz, alleging that Obama “wouldn’t be elected dogcatcher if he wasn’t black.”
The white establishment is bending over backwards to accommodate African-Americans who demonstrate even marginal capabilities. You won’t see that happen in the NBA, which is based on performance, but the rest of our society has ceased to be a meritocracy. Given the enormous strides we have made on the issue of race, black privilege is no longer justified. On its face, it is just as racist as white privilege.
As a great man said over a hundred years ago:
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. - Booker T. Washington
Well said. It is also necessary to criticize and mock established Black political and pastoral “leadership”. These peope have been bought off and are obedient lapdogs for the Left. Over the past fifty years they have acquiesced to horrible Union controlled public schools for their children, murdering abortion clinics in their communities, hostility to law enforcement which has encouraged crime and facilitated drug use, and programs that have resulted in the dissolution of families. Trump should criticize the cold hearted low life’s ever chance he gets.
