An advantage. In this context, an advantage in society. Something like Affirmative Action is a corrective measure to the disadvantages black people face.
It levels the playing field a bit, but they're hardly at an advantage from it. Like I said, it's imperfect, and it also only addresses the outcome rather than the causes that keep them there in thr first place.

People often associate affirmative action with efforts to end discrimination for people of color. But scholars say the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action policies are white women, from college campuses to the American workplace.
White women today are more educated and make up a bigger slice of the workforce as a result of decades of affirmative action policies, scholars say. White women have also made inroads into corporate leadership that people of color and women of color have not.

I never said they could not also have privilege. The point is blacks aren't the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action as some would have us believe. We never hear anyone complain about white women utilizing those policies for their advantage. There is a double standard in place as far as who benefits the most from AA.

You don't have to believe me. The evidence is readily available all over the internet. All you have to do is Google it. He didn't because of he were some run of the mill hood black guy he wouldn't have been acquitted. It was rich celebrity privilege working in his favor.
