Sounds more like Cage was pointing out wealth privilege, not race privilege.

That was dumb, but I was personally more annoyed how Daredevil beat up the man chasing the punk kids who robbed his store just because he had a gun instead of catching the thieves. >_>

Because he doesn't want kids to die? Yeah, they were stupid, but they would have been caught.

I've heard this complaint so many times and it's like you guys never watched Daredevil before.

The kids had already dropped the shit, I think, the shop owners were literally chasing them through the street to try and kill them.

The weirdest part was that Luke was entirely wrong, but it isn't ever brought up. Danny spent his life in a monastery as a minority race and had to overcome trials most people in the US never have to, and was only a billionaire for a month, and in that entire time he was just looking for the Hand. Luke acts like he was just a spoiled rich kid for some reason even though Claire supposedly told him all about Danny.


Luke's right in that beating up street punks doesn't make sense when you're a super billionaire that can handle things in better ways.

I turned off Dear White People like 10 minutes in when a black chick said 'you know I like to stay woke, fam' seriously, and I laughed for about 30 seconds and turned it off and never turned it back on again.

You know different people have different ways of talking. If you actually watched the show, you'd see it's not a show that talks down on white people. It has some great moments and you chose to get offended by it lmao.

I think the real issue is that I don't remember these guys putting up much of a fight when Danny went at them. I don't think Danny was in the wrong...his whole business has taken him to having to fight everyone. I also don't think that part was meant to seem Luke was right, I think it was to show that they both misunderstand each other. In fact, no one trusted the other for several episodes.

Someone also said they didn't like that Danny just went with it.

I think Danny had a great idea...not that he went with it entirely. This got him to the source and he didn't have to go smashing through the front door. They literally let him into the room...of course...which we now know was not a good idea.

Most of them wore masks. How can you be sure?

Did you see a Hand recruitment system that was established besides the one where they groom homeless kids to fight for them? Because I didn't.

A superhero telling white people they were born villains.

Yeah, this is just the guy that Marvel needed.


It was more like Because Danny is a billionaire, he shouldn't go around the streets beating up gang bangers. He should be using his money to fix the problem.

Apparently beating up gang bangers is something only a dignified black man like Luke Cage can do.

You know what's fucked up about that? Luke actually had a pretty normal childhood. He grew up the son of a respected local minister. Danny on the other hand, got the shit kicked out of him by monks, wasn't allowed to interact with girls, and probably slept in a cold bare room on the floor. So who the fuck is Luke to talk about privilege?


Did Luke even know all that?

It seems some people are blaming Luke for not having knowledge that they as viewers do.

Well, this right here is why it's dumb to assume all white people had an easier life than all black people in the first place.

Also, Luke said Claire told him all about Danny, so that would have been a hell of a thing to gloss over.

You're getting upset about the title of a television show you haven't watched, and refuse to listen to reason when it's explained to you. "White Men Can't Jump" wasn't about being racist toward white people. Watch the show and see why the line is being used. Or shut the fuck up and stop being fragile. Take either option.

I didn't take that to mean she told him about Danny in great detail. More like "I hung out with this guy Danny who had a glowing fist and we fought the Hand. Also we went to China." Probably didn't explain much of his backstory other than he was raised by monks.

With the amount of times Danny felt the need to recount to her how his parents died and was found by monks and raised in kung fu land, I find it extremely difficult to believe she'd leave that out.

Cage didn't know about the acid. He just saw someone who was about to beat someone guy cowering in fear. And when Luke tries to stop this random assault Danny hits him with something that can kill people. Dude didn't know how strong cage was, being able to take a few punches does not mean you can take the Iron fist right to the face.

Dunno about the face, but he certainly hit normal people in the torso with it.

Also, he hit Luke several times without him flinching. He reasonably guessed the fist wouldn't kill him anyway.

He had 10 years of being a rich, white kid living in Manhattan before he went to K'un-Lun. When he got back, he became the board member of a Fortune 500 company, bought an Aston Martin, got a penthouse apartment, and can use his fortune to buy entire buildings and get out of trouble. Danny's got privilege coming out his ass.


And, while Luke doesn't know this, Danny was prophesied to come to K'un Lun. "A child born by fire." He wasn't oppressed for being different, he was privileged there as well.

He wasn't handed anything just because he fulfilled a prophecy. It's not like the monks said "Oh you're a special white boy! We'll give you the good kung fu lessons, not the shit ones we give the asian kids."

I'm pretty sure Danny does start to tell him that he didn't have an easy life and Luke just cuts him off and tells him it don't matter cause he is rich.

But maybe I'm misremembering. I'm honestly surprised this whole thing was taken as seriously as it has been.

What about all those people he threw around in his show? I'm sure they had families too. Why can Luke Cage fuck people up but little white boy can't.

All I got from that was Luke calling Danny a privileged racist.
