Black Privilege Is Real

Hello everyone, Welcome to the debate. I will recap and say how this all started. How this all started, Omar made a comment on a "Why White Privilege is a Myth" debate and he said "It does exist but also black and brown people have privilege. " I responded: "There is no black privilege. There is only white privilege. If what you say you think is correct, Please provide the definition of black "and brown" people having privilege. "black and brown" people? Just say black people. Black/African American/colored people is one race meaning people who are black, Or brown (lighter skinned) are all black, They all coincide. " omar responded: "There is black privielge. I meant as in they are priveleged in being born black. You might say how since they do not have same starting points as the more wealthier white. I would say to that is it wasn't because of there race they were wealthy. Race is not a determining factor and saying whites have more money then blacks is leaving out the rich black people and the poor white people. If you said whites have better lives or something. I would say not every single white has a better life then everysingle black person therefore the statement is wrong. " I decided to challenge omar to a debate, And here we are. (Before I continue, Just to let you know, I am black) My response now to this debate is: 1. Privileged in being born black? Please explain because black people has dealt with a lot of injustices and many more, The list goes on. It would be proper to say "privileged being born white" by your stance, Correct? Enlighten. 2. "more wealthier white" hold that thought. 3. "I would say to that is it wasn't because of there race they were wealthy. " False, In some cases. But please explain that statement. 4. "Race is not a determining factor and saying whites have more money then blacks is leaving out the rich black people and the poor white people. " You just contradicted yourself twice within the two previous sentences before that. This goes back to point 2. Exactly, There is both rich black people, Rich white people, Poor black people, And poor white people. You are all over the place, Please explain your argument clearly and stay by the facts. There is no black privilege and I can easily go in depth on why in my next round. Let's first address the two definitions of privilege. Privilege (Law); A privilege is a certain entitlement to immunity granted by the state or another authority to a restricted group, Either by birth or on a conditional basis. Land-titles and taxi medallions are pronounced examples of transferable privilege. These can be revoked in certain circumstances. Privilege (Social); In anthropology, Privilege is a special right, Advantage, Or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group. In sociology, Privilege is the perceived rights or advantages that are assumed to be available only to a particular person or group of people. Explain how "black privilege" coincides with one or both of those definitions. To say there is black privilege is simply ridiculous. I was still confused on your "black and brown" people statement as well. May you learn something new. - Kvng.
