s a black person, I love hearing the “black man in America” myth from a guy who: went to an Ivy League school, played baseball for a living and made millions and still gets paid way more than the average middle class American worker to talk about it on TV. Doug Glanville is the epitome of a privileged person if there ever was one.
I’ve never walked in your shoes, or his. But after reading what you said and what he said, this one thing which really strikes me-
As you mentioned, Granville is a pretty privileged guy, Ivy League, baseball, Nice house, lives in a good neighborhood, has a good job…
Yes despite all that, there are still a significant number of people in this world two are going to see him and think “there’s a n&&&&& Shoveling snow”
Like I said, I’m not in your shoes or his, but I try to be empathetic to people even if I can’t fully understand their experience. As far as that one incident goes, I don’t see his perspective being unreasonable.

Let's be honest here if you live in a multi-million dollar home and you are shoveling your snow, anyone passing by will think you are the help....

The world is always going to have assholes that look for an easy reason to try to put others down. Making everyone pissed off all the time isn’t going to remove them, passing laws for hiring standards isn’t going to remove them, posting pictures on social media won’t remove them, etc.

I can promise you his "experience" has been better than mine.

Seems to me that you're one of the assholes that thinks that.

I disagree, I think Granville’s perspective is completely unreasonable because all he’s doing is speaking in hyperbole & generalizations about large groups of people that he doesn’t know. And he knows he can get away with it because no one will challenge him on it in the media without being cancelled because of his race. Like I said if that’s not the definition of privilege then I don’t know what is. To know who really has the power look at who you can’t criticize

No there's fricking not. It's lies like this do FAR more damage than any taxi refusing to accept a black customer.
You have no evidence that statement is true yet here you are and this does 2 horrible things :
1. It pisses white people off because you're basically calling them racist
2. You are influencing black people that white people are bad and out to get them.
Both of these outcomes suck for public discourse.
frick you my friend.
