[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, in western culture there is White privilege. In eastern culture there is Asian privilege. Why is that?

In the Middle East, there is rich male, Muslim privilege. Why is that?

In India there are castes, with certain castes having much greater privilege than others. Why is that?

Why is there ever privilege and why does it persist?

Answering this question and then pursuing in the manner by which those groups gained their privilege is the only way another group’s status will rise.  I can tell you that none of those groups became privileged by having an affirmative action program. AA programs inherently say the following, without admitting it, “you’re not as good as the rest of us, so we’re going to give you an unfair paper advantage, based not on merit but on a natural born trait.”  This does two things: it reinforces to the oppressed that they are not considered equal and cannot compete on level terms and makes the privileged class resent the underprivileged even more. While it may have some success stories, it has a net negative affect overall. [/quote]

How dare you compare Whitness and its violence to social issues in the Middle East and India?!?   Where is the Lebanese Empire?  The Indian colonies?  Are their slaves in Iraq?   Who is more likely to be assaulted, a young woman in Manhattan or Riyadh?

White culture = Violence[/quote]

If you truly believe that, and you choose to live here, you are deeply dumb.

No affirmative action will ever help you. Other than a one-way ticket to the non-white country of your choosing.

Some groups are too busy chasing material goods to make babies.  They are old, tired and wanting to rest.[/quote]
Not to mention they are too busy building things, inventing things, making the world go around, and supporting everyone else.[/quote]

Oh look, David Duke joined us. Aren't we lucky?

So you respond to hard truths that you don’t like by calling someone a white supremacist? You are mentally and intellectually weak. [/quote]
