You people don't understand the horrors of driving around in a 5 series BMW when others are driving around in 7 series. The struggle is real and its obvious.

I'd like to hear an explanation of this. Say what you will but money buys a lot more privilege than race does. Justice isn't served in this country, it's bought. From oj to that affluenza kid, if you can afford freedom then it's yours.
Make no mistake, regardless of race, justice and freedom are reserved for the wealthy. And he is one of them so his complaints are easily ignored.

For the money doesn't matter people answer me this:
When this board post statistics that show African Americans commit crimes at a higher rate then any other race, it is quickly refuted by some that it isn't the color of the skin it is the economic status that is driving those crimes
(Which I don't disagree with)
Now, that same group is saying it is the color of skin that maters at not economic status. Why the change in opinion from one situation to the other?

That is complete bullshite. People these days don't naturally bully someone whose father is worth tens of millions. There is more or much less to this bullshite story than we know. Humans don't naturally do that. This just entirely reeks of bullshite and just SJW nonsense.

Throughout this whole thread I keep picturing b-Rad and his dad:

St. Louis article on the father
This is the gentleman whose son brought about change at Missouri and leads Union Pacific. He is also a large contributor to President Obama donating over $35k in 2012.

Here's the problem with the use of the word "privilege." It lends itself to personalization.
That's exactly right. And then the inevitable question that must be asked afterwards, if you acknowledge that the privilege does indeed exist is, "What am I supposed to do about it?"
At that point, you have what boils down to basically a list of demands. Since I cannot change the thing that makes me privileged, I must account for it. Then I'm in a negotiation to account for my privilege which can never go away. But because the lack of privilege can never be experienced by me, I can never know how much I owe so that isn't for me to decide. I can't define it. So it becomes fruitless for me to acknowledge my privilege because you're caught in a trap you can't get out of. It's exactly like the Nazi Germany scenario you described. "You must atone for your Jewry by death." Sucks for me I guess.
And that's if I actually acknowledge the privilege. If I don't? Well then I'm certainly a racist end of conversation and I should go straight to the guillotine (or at the very least lose my job).
It's all just entirely fruitless for both sides.

I certainly have advantages being white or certain hassles I don't have to worry about because I'm not black, that's just obvious. I can't even believe some people won't acknowledge that on these boards, I've seen them deny it.
That being said, the grand majority of black people don't really expect you to atone for those "privileges". If you just treat black people like you'd treat anyone else, most would be just fine with that. Sure there are those extremists, just like there are extremists on every side of an issue.

No doubt, that's why I qualified what I said with "mostly".
Like obviously if this guy got arrested, he could most likely lawyer his way out of anything. Or, he'd probably never have trouble finding a job in anything because his family has tons of connections.
But a racist POS cop that's out profiling people isn't gonna necessarily know that and will likely hassle him anyways. There's a lot of social baggage that comes just with the skin color and it would take a lot more money/fame than that to completely eliminate it for an individual.

Yep. If you believe that all the black folks out there want whitey to "pay for their privilege", then you've just been force-fed too much bullshite from your chosen media source. The majority just wants a level playing field.

All feelings, no facts. It's a great way to annoy your opponents into submission!
