Contented Man Actually, if you're conservative/libertarian and look for that kind of content, there are so many strong black voices layin' it down that conservatives, especially, don't judge blacks by their skin color. They know too many smart, thoughtful blacks who think more like THEM than ANY white liberal. On the "other side," you have a lot of white people who don't think at ALL like the people they claim to champion. To THEM, blacks are lesser and other, which is the ONLY justification for treating them differently in any way, shape or form! But I see Eric D July, or Barricade Garage guy, ABL, or Jericho Green as guys who are more like me on the big picture, more like my brothers, than any white liberal.
There IS a form of "privileged white" pushing the "white privilege" narrative. But it all comes down to thinking blacks need whites to SAVE them, when in OUR society, they mainly need whites to STOP trying to save them and leave them the hell alone! In their "good intention," they set up a system of incentives that couldn't do more to destroy the family, punish good people trying to help themselves through their own works, and put a drug dealer on every corner eager to recruit their 10-year-old son to gangster life in precisely the communities that white liberals "help" the most, if it had been planned!
But nobody talks about how the Jim-Crow through 1st Civil-Rights-Act period saw REMARKABLE advances in the black community. Harlem was a Great Place, with Good Schools. HBCUs were taking off, ALL without any government help and quite a few disadvantages. It wasn't until the welfare state kicked in that we went from "guarantee my rights!" to "You owe me a living!" This entitlement attitude captured more whites than blacks, but basically the same percentage of poor in both populations. There were just a higher percentage of blacks that were still poor at the end of the '60s. Add to that the fact that in a lot of those communities, whites and blacks intermingled, but the mixed-race ALWAYS goes in the "black" bucket, which is crazy, so things are skewed that way, too.
Everyone should read "Losing Ground." You can see the economic convergence of blacks and whites throughout the postwar period, UNTIL Lyndon Johnson. Then things changed. The gap between whites and blacks started growing again. Some of this is mirrors, because there was generally more cross-breeding in the inner-city communities that are hardest hit by poverty, so it all gets counted as "black," even though it's mixed.
