How might Troy Maxson be considered a privileged or superior person?

Unclear question. However, I inferred you are referring to the story "Fences".

Explanation:

Now that in the story mention was made that "Troy Mason lived in his own little world and that he viewed the people in his life as revolving around him". The expression "he viewed the people in his life as revolving around him" indicates his privileged position which makes him feel superior to others.
