Believing in white privilege because whites are less likely to get in trouble is like believing in Indian privilege because the same is true for Indians relative to whites.

The groups that everyone feels sorry for are more privileged specifically because everyone feels sorry for them.

It's funny how people say "whites have all the money and power" but if you say the same thing about Jews suddenly you're a conspiracy theorist racist ass hole even though it's true.

The least privileged people are white, heterosexual, ugly, short, cisgender males who are born into poor families.

The most privileged people are hot Jewish women born into Illuminati-tier families.

Some forms of privilege are real. Rich privilege and pretty privilege are the best examples.

That is true, but society doesn't care if you are white, black, Jewish, or Gentile.  These groups should stop playing the victim.

There are a lot of rich and powerful Jews and while whites are mostly non-racist now or racist against themselves the Jews still have strong in-group preference. Jewish privilege is more real than any race-based privilege.

That would be wealth privilege and connection privilege; not Jewish privilege.  A poor Hasidic Jewish person living in Kiryas Joel doesn't benefit from Hollywood connections.

Because despite significant changes in data transfer and management,

People are still consciously aware of the colour of their skin.

Then maybe don't import people that attack others for being white?

Too late Mr Grey.


I'm guessing that one day, the majority of the human race will be browner than it is today.

Evolution of the species type stuff.


If we're still around of course.


Though, where do we import them from?

Planet Chocolate.

Exactly because so called whites don't have the same issue thanks to privilege honestly known as white supremacy.

So does "white supremacy" imply "black inferiority".

Simply in terms of an irradicable condition.


I'm guessing not.

I'm guessing that human evolution will out.

Or it could be because minorities are more scared of the majority and therefore easier to manipulate.  It's why Hasidic Jews are easy to manipulate; the GOP says pro Israel stuff and they vote red despite living a lifestyle conservatives would despise (being on welfare while having at least 7 kids on average, following a very left wing religion, etc).  Larger groups are harder to manipulate.  It's why Hispanics are becoming more conservative as they increase in number; they are becoming the new Italians.  Jews will always be rare.

"So does "white supremacy" imply "black inferiority"."

It doesn't imply it. It directly means that. Now another individual on this site tried to call it democracy but then tried to recant it. The individual got mixed up. But it's a phenomenon that has what if we know history, spawned the civil rights movement, NAACP, black panther party, freedom riders, rainbow coalition, million man march,  national black caucus, black lives matter. 

All these are a reaction to "white supremacy" or a more mitigated term so it's not to put a specific face on it ........"systemic racism".

Yup...."white supremacy".

Now are all "whites" supremacists?

Anyone that is able to be one is the starting criteria for candidacy.

So you are saying that white supremacy was a normally evolved human condition.

And therefore, so was black inferiority.

Do you think that this was based upon intellectual development?


As for "systemic racism".

I would suggest that social sub-systems that developed in semi-isolation, would inevitably be racist in terms of sensory perception.

I would also suggest that ongoing discrimination based upon sensory perception was therefore also inevitable.

Though discrimination and systemic racism, is far from just a "white" condition...Far from it in fact.

Because current trends in racial vilification are actually based upon real time species evolution.

If you know anything about transatlantic slavery, slaves on the plantation, segregation, jim Crow, redlining, legal policies that benefit one group hindering protection for another, that hindered group going to that other group for housing, employment, resources because they're the owners of all major corporations and have the power to abuse or maintain power only amongst their own to their own advantage, this is just observation and historical and present day record.

Much not need for me to talk about evolution but more so the way it is the way it works in a dominated world.

Now on the intellectual subject, yes,  to dominate a people, rule them, subjugate them , control them, you have to be smarter than them, yes.

"Though discrimination and systemic racism, is far from just a "white" condition...Far from it in fact."

It's like I said:

or a more mitigated term so it's not to put a specific face on it ........"systemic racism".

This term is used more so by the public or in general to take light off one group or else it appears as an indictment.

But look not all "whites" are "white" supremacists. I think that is a fair statement.

Any "white" person that is able to be one is the starting criteria for candidacy.

Now this appears to be more fair as oppose to what pan Africanists believe and it doesn't point out a group in a sweeping generalization as the label "systemic racism" aids in that.

BUT.......stilll......whom has crafted this system....who is the head of it.....what power in it does it have....who is able to wield it....wield its power at the destruction, mistreatment , domination of who?

Combine a system with who owns the most what, you have the same situation now from 150 years back.

We've just transitioned from the masters and plantations slave workers to the CEOs and wage laborers.

So, in a nutshell.

Social evolution is ongoing.

Though, inherent human behaviour being less susceptible to real change, only modifies relative to the evolution of social consciousness.


So in even more of a nutshell.

We interact just as we always have done, but differently.

That nutshell is too vague.

Tweak it to interact to mistreat one another based on physical criteria at least, maybe more criterions then that.

i.e. "police officer" accurately labeled "race" soldier  mistreating a minority (p.o.w.)

Strange nut.

More of a left wingers assumption, based upon delusions of an anarchic utopia.

Wherein said left winger becomes the law enforcing race soldier, ready to mistreat whosoever it sees as worthy of mistreatment.

Under the guise of socialism and their own delusions of self-righteousness.


In a nutshell.

The pot calling the kettle black.


Of course, I comment from a place that affords me reasonable levels of freedom.

What one might loosely define as "The West".
