A post on CNN called "It's Time to talk about Black Privilege" stated that "… in America, you can't even talk about whiteness". The only thing black people have the upper hand in is being politically correct now-a-days. Anything outside of that is to our disadvantage. Being politically correct is not enough so live a content and peaceful life. We still struggle everyday of our lives just for being a shade darker than the "most supreme". Finances, social latter, law; black people are always on the wrong end of the stick. This has been going on for hundreds of years and will continue. What they see is the chains being loosened from our necks and wrists, but there is a second chain that has bounded our minds to this corrupt way of thinking. Race will FOREVER be a factor, in a negative way, so to say black people or any minority has it better, is like committing a verbal sin. I rest my case.

" What they see is the chains being loosened from our necks and wrists, but there is a second chain that has bounded our minds to this corrupt way of thinking." This was very deep line. i liked that you used a metaphor to help explain how whites see that we have black privilege.
