The Sinister Truth of "White Privilege"

"White privilege" is a lie, a slander and, in truth, a form of oppression meant to dehumanize.

Undoubtedly in the US, if you are a person that can be visually identified as being "white" you are actively discriminated against each and every day. That discrimination is not coming only from the acceptable perspective of those that are of the out-group -- those not visually identified as "white" -- but of the very own in-group -- those that are visually identified as "white." For the first time in history, there are people within a group actively discriminating against those within that very same group whom they most relate to. Such a reality at any other time in history would be akin to suicide.

Let me be clear, discrimination based on skin color is 100% acceptable. The catch is that discrimination is only useful when looking at those of the out-group -- as skin color serves as an excellent identifier for a person's potential background, or personality. Also, discrimination based on skin color is meant to work within a society made up of peoples that share the same, culture, history, appearance, and values -- regardless of what nation one lives in, or what color one's skin is. In a place like the US -- a so called "melting pot" -- any form of skin discrimination cannot work; i.e. it's all or nothing so long as a nation claims "melting pot" status. To claim that all "white people" are privileged only destroys relations between differing groups and even nullifies the term "melting pot;" to put it even more simply: The "melting pot" experiment will fail, violently so, if skin based discrimination continues.

Besides that of in-group and out-group preference/discrimination, the color of one's skin has no effect on reality. White skin does not somehow magically denote privilege. One would have to be a complete and utter buffoon to believe that the color of a person's skin gives them benefits for no other reason than that skin color. This is insanity that is akin to believing the street "magician" is actually magical. However, it is true that those in the US visually identified as "white" have a privilege among others who are also "white" (the majority) -- just like those that are visually identified as "black" have a privilege among others who are "black," or Asians with other Asians, Hispanics w/ Hispanics, etc. A simple truth for you to now realize, I hope.

The miscued term "white privilege," is quite simply the privilege of the majority population within the US, and the wealthy, outside. The reality is that a majority population incurring benefits and favorable situations from others within that majority is an absolute truth in this world, and should be no surprise to anybody. Only, in the US that majority just happens to be those visually identified as being "white." And because of the great freedom within this nation and the tolerance of the majority, those in the minority category -- abetted by those in the majority who feel guilty, or others who so desire to blame a single group of people for all the problems (akin to a Hitler thought process) -- have been allowed, encouraged, and even justified in their calling of the "white person" a privileged other simply because of the way they look.

For example, go ahead and take someones "privileged" lily-white ass to China, Israel, Iraq, Japan, or Nigeria. Just try to test their magical "white privilege" to an advantage. It is a literal lie that will receive no benefits other than if the denizens of those nations believe them to be wealthy -- and in some, that may even be a crutch.

Ironic that the very society demanding we not judge others based on appearance -- because this is supposed to be a "melting pot" of diverse looking people -- wholly overlooks and endorses the appearance based discrimination that is the term "white privilege." Fake, forced diversity only leads to strife and greater conflict. At the time when it all comes to a head -- and it will in such a failed experiment as this -- in-group preferences and visual discrimination will literally save lives. All people at that time will relish in the truth of discrimination and actively seek to use it.

The fact that people, sadly, cannot realize the simplest truths of reality is astounding, but frankly not surprising. As you are a person created in God's image and given some of God's reasoning ability, try to think for yourself. Stop blaming whole groups of people for the problems in your life, and of the world -- again, very much a Hitler-esque approach to believe otherwise.
