BLACK PRIVILDGE: The origin of abuse of black privilege can be located within the context of a pre-African American experience. African Kings, for instance, often abused their privilege by manipulating members of the tribe and selling them to opportunistic European slave traders.

In the 15th century, the King of Benin consorted with Christian missionaries that he would sell his servants into slavery for a white wife. It was within such an oppressive experience of betrayal that many blacks created a sub-world in which socially stratified privilege was often used for both good and bad purposes.

Black privilege entails possessing the power to manipulate space, regardless of the degree, within the black sub-world. Black privilege can also be used within white space to progress and/or regress black privilege. This is a powerful phenomenon as it entices one to the possibility of more, and more is often located within the confines of white space.
