Blexit Campaign - Black Exit from the US Democratic Party

[GrandizerII]

I agree that the idea of black victimhood is not going to help black people.  I absolutely hate the concept of "white privilege", as if being white is the reason I got ahead in the world, and not the fact that I got an education and worked hard.  That teaches black people that the reason they haven't succeeded yet is only because of their skin color, which will never inspire them to do what I did.

That's not what any reasonable person is saying, though. You've misunderstood the whole thing about privilege.

Privilege doesn't mean that any success you've achieved cannot partly be attributed to the fact that you've worked hard to get where you're at. It means that there are certain hurdles (like skin color or sex) that won't ever get in your way to success. If you're black, you have to deal with those hurdles and work harder to achieve success (statistically speaking). If you're white, lucky!

It also doesn't mean that if you lack some type of privilege, then if you haven't succeeded, it must only be because you lacked that privilege.
