just remember you cant have privilege without superiority.
[–] TheFlameOfTruth 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
Indeed and It's hilarioisly sad that some white people believe they are privileged so much that they lower thier own sense of self, leading to higher rates of suicide, obesity, etc. They are just as clueless as people implying white privilege, not realizing privilege is to the individual, not societal... Much like "social" justice.
Any positive outcome going forward for us will demand we improve, or continue to, the self in regards to morals, conduct, culture, education, health, etc.

Superiority in a society can be obtained by in-bred, r-selecting, violent, ignorant, fundamentalist savages. True superiority k-selects, then put those r-selectors in the ground.

It did the exact opposite for me, it showed me that my thoughts are not completly retarded.
[–] Obvy_throwaway52 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Definitely so. Also people's inability to parse Hollywood as some jews opinion rather than a reflection of society. This is how they've operated since taking over western media, slowly "progressing" their interpretation of reality and presenting it as fact, which stupid people take into their being and allow to shape their understanding of the world. This is how people normally learn, except in reverse. Movies and television uses to be entertainment, nothing more than that. When it started to be viewed as anything other than that was when we should have known there was a problem.

Privilege has more to do with being a catered majority. Being a minority sucks wherever you go, especially if you're a minority who can't build their own no go zones and instead turn public housing into a primate exhibit.

it's not an effective meme

There is no such thing as white privilege. People work and build their entire lives and they want their work and their accumulation of wealth to be passed on so it can be used in the same way in which they chose to live their lives. They do this by having children and leaving their ideals, morals, and possessions for those children. Those children are their legacy and they earned them through hard work.
It's the childrens' birthright and responsibility to use the things they are taught and the resources they have to continue building within the framework in which their ancestors were successful.
It is not the responsibility of the children to give away what their families have worked for over thousands of years to people from other places with lesser ideals who are not as capable and not as hard working just so those foreigners can have an iphone and shit all over the place.
Fuck jews.

The privilage of being white is that it's easier to be accepted in our far superior communities and culture because people more readily assume that white kids were raised with the right values. Those communities are not exclusive to whites though, you just have to conform and follow the rules, something which many minorities either refuse to do or are uncapable of doing. Even white people have to conform or they are excluded. It happens to be these types that are pushing the narrative (cause they are dirty hippy socialists with no means to provide for themselves).

I agree, I just don't think the word privilege describes it properly, and has some baggage with it because of jewish propaganda. I think birthright is a better word. Maybe someone has a better word than that, I"m open to suggestions.
[–] Phuc_Dat_Bich ago
Sure there is. Whites are in general far more capable than other people. And there is nothing wrong with this.
[–] allahead 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I mean there is no white privilege in the sense that it is a made up jewish phrase meant to discourage and disarm whites. Yes, I think whites have done the best job of building civilizations.

Increased prosperity isn't "privilege" if it's due to increased capability.

Can't read well? They have classes for that
[–] Jaegerjaques 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
I'm pretty sure those classes teach eloquence and conciseness, instead of verbosity and paragraph-length sentences.
