Are you white? If so, would you trade places with a black man?

Depends on the situation that black man is in. I wouldn't trade places with anyone in general. But hypothetically speaking. Let's say that black man was in a much better position than me right now as a white man. Would I trade? Hailllll Yeahhhh I would trade!

I would love to be Jay-Z for a day. Just so I could eat Beyonce's booty!
I wouldn't mind being Jalen Ramsey for a day. Just so I can talk [BLEEP] to anybody and play football with a better body.
I would love to trade places with a scholar such as Cornel West. He's ALWAYS a good read or listen.

Or, hell. I would be happy swapping places with any black man that makes a better living than me.

Question is though. Would they want to swap places with me? I doubt it. And that's the problem with this type of thinking and question. Because, in a way, you're basically saying that ALL black men have it harder in life than ALL white men. Which we know is just a false statement. I am not saying there's discrepancies in various areas. I'll give you that one. Is there injustice? Yes. Is there an unfair amount of black men being criminally charged for something as petty as holding a sack of weed? Yes. I agree.

But the same can be said for just about every race on this planet in various parts and corners of the world. It's a loaded question man. You know it. We all know it. But you can't just generalize or paint with a wide brush laced with B.S over an entire race of people. It's honestly a numbers game.

Would you swap places with a white farmer in South Africa?
