Black Privilege
First of all I believe that this is an extremely crazy article not only because I am black but when I read it I just hear straight up ignorance. The first sentence throws me off my balance when reading because it says “Here goes some good news about all you black folks complaining about racism”. I don't know if this phrase upsets other people but it most definitely upsets me because how can we complain about something that happens to a lot of my race on a daily basis. You can not complain about racism but, you can only make the awareness of it. This is something that needs to get across this crazy author's head.
The comments that are in the article made it extremely hard to even continue reading because I did not know if I was mad or bewildered. A couple paragraphs into it he say “White is becoming the new black”. This has to be the craziest comment in the story. Whites can never be black because they have never been through the oppression that we had to go through for hundreds of years. Being taken from their homes and sent to another continent to work for random people with horrible conditions and more. Therefore the comment was extremely unnecessary because it is false.
It's hard to write this blog and not be biased because I am an African American man but I feel that the things said in this story are just ridiculous and it makes me just say “ what the Hell” every three lines. The article had a couple remarks saying that we have perks that whites do not. We have no perks and there is so much that we can say regarding this statement. We can be chastised any and everywhere we go just for being a color. Going into stores, driving, even being in a neighborhood we can be a target. This article upset me to the point where I was not able to finish it!!
