I read an article on The Root by Diana Ozemebhoya Eromosele about “Black Female Privilege.” I’d never thought that I had privilege over my black male counterpart. It made me think and realize that I do have privilege that black men do not have. A couple of days ago a Nigerian friend of mine pointed out that women in the US have more job opportunities than men in the US. He had a very valid point, in my past two jobs the workforce was overwhelmingly female.
I recognize that the white world view black men as more of a threat than black women. I am less likely to be harassed or profiled by police based on my outer trappings (clothes, car, hair, etc.) thus allows me to traverse the white world with a little bit more ease.
Chime in. In what ways do you recognize your Black Female Privilege?
