What’s fun about this comic is, even though it sounds ridiculous, Jamal’s “Radical Idea” basically just asks “What if Black Privilege too?”. White families walk into banks every day and are approved more loans, with better interest rates than families of color. White Men predominantly hold positions of power in major companies. And many white parents would be more pleased if their daughters brought home (practically) any white man than if they brought home a young Barack Obama.
I notice that since the Electoral College has twice put a Republican candidate in the White House, a lot of Conservatives are now professing how it gives power to rural states – in other words, the country’s political minorities. This is how the votes of 2 people in Wyoming is equivalent to 7 votes from California. Let’s extend this concept a little further into “equilibrating” the individual vote. This would make each Black vote equivalent to 5 White votes, and each Hispanic vote equal to 4 White votes. I suspect there might be some outcry over this idea.

That’s an awesome idea!
I’m just afraid someone would try to monetize the relationships, however…

Don’t sell yourself short, Jamal. Get emotionally invested.
