Black privilege is every time the right proposes something, Dems try to block it by saying how much it will hurt minorities.
But seriously, first I don't like the word privilege because that implies that stopping people for the color of their skin is the norm, and not stopping them is a bonus.
I have been stopped for my skin color. I used to work until 1:00 am at Skyline, and I drove through a predominantly black neighborhood on my way home and was pulled over a couple of times. Now that's not the same as randomly pulling over a black person, it was based more on "white people aren't here at this time of night for any good reason."
In my head it's always socio-economic. If I'm walking down a street and see a black guy in khakis and a golf shirt, and a white guy with low hanging pants and a hoodie, I'm not giving the black guy a second look, but I am paying more attention to the white guy.
