The problem which this headline is that it seems to compare black male privilege with white male privilege. This is not the case, as Prof. Lewis clarifies:

Black male privilege is first centered as being relative to black women. Im not comparing black males privilege to white male privilege. I think one could argue that, but itd be a very dangerous leap. When we look in the African-American community, there are actually spaces where black men are advantaged and often sometimes dominate a dialogue, when we should be listening more carefully to whats happening with black women equally.

What is important here is the idea that there are multiple intersections that create a specific class when comparing certain differences. Those familiar with statistics will know this as cohorts. A good example is given by Prof. Lewis:

In particular, if we think about the narrative of mass incarceration, we think about the ways in which black men and black boys have been locked up at increasing rates since the 1980s. While this is true, the fastest growing incarceration rate is particularly among black and Latino women. And because we havent thought seriously about whats happening with black girls and Latino girls, we tend to make the issue of incarceration solely male, and we miss the different ways in which we need to be intervening not just for our young boys, but also our young girls.

So even though stats show that black males have an incarceration rate higher than white males, the increasing incarceration rate of black and Latina women should be examined in relation to that, since they share certain factors. It's a nuanced process based on the scientific method, which requires variables reduced to one. Therefore, the first step to educating others is having them realize that the world can't be explained in black and white terms.
