Re: Is there such a thing as Black Privilege?

[(Anonymous)]

In the traditional sense of how privilege is understood? No. That whole systemic/structural power thing is bigger than any individual community, so even if you have some kind of favor within a community (for example, inside your predominantly Black church there exists some resistance to accepting white members), that doesn't erase the overall structure of white privilege, even if that experience might be alienating for the individual white person.

In terms of relations to other marginalized groups? I'm not sure terming it "privilege" is going to get you far, as it tends to assume a hierarchical system and a lot of scholars and activists reject comparing marginalized groups in that way. But there are certainly *tensions* that arise in the difference between the ways groups are treated. For example, when we talk about racism in the U.S., it's commonly framed as a black-and-white issue, which obviously neglects to even include other people of color in the conversation, but I'm not sure whether that's considered "privileging" blackness or if there's a better word for it. Another example might be specific to black communities, in which some people might be accused of "acting white" (though again, that's typically understood as a way of policing others in response to that overarching structure of white privilege, not "privileging" blackness). You might also look into the experiences of multiracial people to see how that really complex process plays out? I'm not sure we call any of those scenarios privilege in the formal sense, and in none of those are black people privileged over white people specifically.
