(2,560 posts)or woman. I've experienced racism just once from one idiot. This incident was immediately followed by an apology from a woman (of the same race) with rather more common sense then the male perpetrator. But I don't have to worry about being pulled aside by the cops because of my skin colour. I don't have to worry about being called the n-word. I don't have to worry about 4 guys ganging up on me because I'm black (they may gang up on me for another reason).
Nor do I have to contend with guys staring at my tits or making wolf whistles when I walk by or making rude comments which I'm meant to hear. My opinions matter more to many people because I'm a man, even if a woman has the same or even a more informed opinion.
I "enjoy" white male privilege. It exists, even though I wish it didn't.
