Black Privilege is a unearned right given to black…
“Black Privilege is a unearned right given to black americans and they were taught to ignore it so it wouldn't cause any more damage to anyone who was non- black. Black Privilege is powerful and gives black people the right to never be scared and not have to worry about anything, their covered by their blackness, even though they work hard they have the right to slack off. White americans don't have that right they have to work hard in order to get the right and privilege they deserve. White people are racially profiled and are taught to be aware of racism because their white, they have to deal with the hardships of being white for example, a black person gets payed double his salary for being black and working hard, white person only gets payed not as much as his black counterpart meaning blacks get payed more than whites. blacks don't have to worry about people or cops staring at them, their privileged, they have the right to feel entitled.”
