The stupidity of assessing any segment of society by race, is only exacerbated by elevating that societal segment within the purview of the only element that has nothing to do with the issue.

There is no racial privilege in America. There is only racial expression within the members of the society, as they relate to members of other races.

"Race Privilege" is only used by some who do not want to give up some perceived "disadvantage" they claim for their own as a reason for a low self-esteem.

Rather than accuse "White Privilege" against those who have to work very hard for everything they attain, I think I will just accuse "Black disadvantage" to all those who try to use some disadvantage their great,great,great,great,great ancestors may have had to deal with, as a reason for their own current failure to rise above a family historic disadvantage.

One disadvantage to all Blacks in America is known as Al Sharpton. He is like the ancient Albatross, hung around every black's neck like a chain from the past. Some have been able to shrug off this thief of Black advantage, who takes it from other blacks to squander it upon himself.

All Blacks whose families were slaves, need to consider, not all slaves were black; some slaves owned black slaves; some blacks owned white slaves, Some blacks fought in the Civil war to continue to own their own black slaves.

It was never a case of whites conquering Black Africa to gain slaves for trade, it was always the Black tribes selling blacks of other tribes to Portuguese slave traders, who shipped them to the Americas for sale into slavery.

The Black Privilege in America consists of all those blacks who blame everyone but themselves for every imagined slight that supposedly keeps them from succeeding in any effort whatsoever. They are, and will remain perpetual slaves to a past better left in the past.

I have to work. I do not have the privilege of having some alleged "fault" or "blame" upon which I can lay claim that excuses me from all responsibility whatsoever to obtain success in life. THAT privilege is owned only by Blacks, and Al Sharpton is the greatest "slave holder" in America today, because it is Al Sharpton who keeps helping blacks "hold" to slavery that was ejected by their families generations ago.;

Comment Loc: California

Elegantly stated. Sharpton was preceded by Jessie Jackson. Sharpton uses he same shake downs of business as Jackson did. Jessie Jackson Jr. and his wife are in prison where Sharpton should be. 4 million in tax evasion. Bama has to be covering for him? Hope the next Republican prsidents tells the FBI and the IRS to shake down this phony.

If you had to move tomorrow, would you move to a "white" neighborhood or a "black" neighborhood?

No! All the time I was in the Corps I just moved into the neighborhood. Saw blacks, saw whites, saw yellows, saw browns, saw tans, saw all shades in between. Had no problems with it.

Saw Christians, saw Muslims, saw Jews, saw Shinto, saw Eskimo, saw Paiute, saw Apache, no problems with that either.

Conservative Loc: Florida

Yes, Al Sharpton but Barack & Michelle Obama, the entire Congressional Black Caucus, the Mayors of cities with largely black populations all disadvantage blacks and advantage themselves. They thrive on sowing hatred and discontent. They enrich themselves by victimizing other blacks and then blaming it on 'white privilege', the police, religion, those who work and succeed. They tear the blacks down by planting in their minds that they are victims and others owe them 'because they are incapable of caring for themselves'.
