Re: Is there such a thing as Black Privilege?

(Anonymous) 2015-03-26 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Your dictionary definition does not encompass the full scope of what we're talking about when we talk about "privilege," though. It's a really limited definition that constitutes what the word means when we use it in a general sense, but it doesn't consider the context any more than looking up any other word in the dictionary. In these discussions, the context is the systemic privilege conferred by birth or circumstance into a specific culture that values certain traits over others; attempts to correct this by allotting certain advantages to groups marginalized by this system (such as diversity scholarships) is not magically transferring that privilege to them, because the overall structure remains.
