in this thread: white people
When a rich black guy can talk about how he envies the privilege of white homeless people, something truly absurd is happening.
Absurdly, being rich is not sufficient to defend black people from police harassment!
I'm substantially in agreement with you on this issue in general, but, you know, nor is being white sufficient to defend homeless people from it.
Indeed, there are tons of factors in play. There are various reasons why someone would be harassed by the police. Conversely, there are various other ways in which people encounter difficulties. Oftentimes, X privilege is a red herring.
The concept of intersectionality was developed to discuss exactly this sort of issue, but, of course, that's not how most pop critical race theorists use it.
