Tan Privilege

Tan privilege is very similar to white privilege but with not as many perks; it is a set of advantages and/or immunities that light skinned blacks benefit from on a daily basis over dark skinned blacks.
K: Philando Castile (a dark black man) got shot while in his car with his hands up after getting pulled over for a busted tail light because he told a cop that he was licensed to carry a firearm.

Me: I (a light skinned black man) got pulled over once for a busted tail light, drove a half mile to my destination, got out of the car immediately, confronted the officer face to face, had a pleasant conversation, got off with a warning, and went about my business.

K: You didn't get shot?

Me: I'm not that black. Tan Privilege.

Neapoli-Tan

n. An embarrassing case of tan-gone-wrong, when 3 parts of your body all generate different shades of color, most notably white, pink, and brown. Often resembles vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream flavors, hence the name.

Neapoli-Tans are unintentional, though many pranksters of South Beach Florida have been known to Neapoli-Tan and streak through Miami Beach attacking innocent bystanders. For the latter cases, most Neapoli-Tans are with a Strawberry torso, Vanilla legs, and of course, Chocolate genitals.

The origin of Neapoli-Tan is widely disputed. Though many theories are still debated, some have traced it's roots as far back as the early 1700's, in modern day Kansas, where the indigenous tribes of Omaha and Ponca used the concept of Neapoli-Tan to gain the affection of the local village Princess. They would often use the phrase "Mein bukha hun duba choco" which translates to "Look at my Chocolate genitals", to seduce the native women in their arms.

In 2007, Neapoli-Tan's became subject to internet fame after videos were uploaded on JewTube (Hebrew sister company of video sharing site YouTube) depicting a new form of tan pranking known is "Tan in the Can" where uploaders would Neapoli-Tan their asses for a chance at winning $10,000, funded by viral company "The Search for the Best Damn Cans in the Land". JewTube was closed after Company founder Bernie Weisman was linked to a prostitution ring, registering under his alias "Not Jewish Guy"
