There are no civilized cultures without group privilege. If one group loses it, another group will possess it. Indeed, the definition of a culture (or a subculture) must include its structures of privilege in order to make any sense at all.
Are you gonna try n tell me for one minute that HipHop (sub)culture does not privilege Blacks? And a very specific style of Blackitude at that? The price of admission by non-Blacks is slavish (oops) imitation of the privileged class.The notion that hierarchy or status-ranking will ever disappear from human society --or should-- is on a par with belief in unicorns. And the drive to eliminate any kind of status in the name of equality is only just one group seeking to replace another in a position of privilege. Or in the case of The Most Foolish People On The Planet©, getting them to replace themselves.
To put it in a "Hard Saying", unless Whites are dominant (aka supremacist) in their culture and countries, their enemies will be, and they will be abased, degraded, plundered and erased. Equality within the same polity, between two races who have always shown their mutual incompatibility* is a fraud and a lie, a strategy of conquest. Consider, say, Baltimore and Portland side by side. Now choose. All cultures are by nature "supremacist." But only the White version is now pathologized. And self-pathologizing.
What are the antics of the frantically egalitarian Social Justice Warriors but orgies of in-group status-signaling?
Example. In 2013, Pope Francis' supposedly egalitarian impulse in asking --in fact, commanding-- his Swiss Guard night watch soldier to sit down and rest so he could make him a sandwich is in fact only possible because Pope Francis is at the top of his hierarchy and also willing to deprecate the duties of the men who have sworn to protect him. As with all White Liberals, his virtues are simply exercises in covert noblesse oblige.
Because of this faux-equalizing gesture, the Pope's status is not at all lessened but, on the contrary, heightened. The whole thing was an exercise in coercion and grandstanding. And as I mentioned in my earlier post about this, it is also an infantilizing insult to the soldier, assuming he is too weak to perform his task. But that is a small price to pay for the status-whoring lovers of equality, whether they sit on the Throne of St Peter or in front of a video game console.
They all have --mirabili non dictu-- my hearty contempt.
*Even St Abraham Lincoln, opined in 1858, according to the New York Times!
there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any of her man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."

Perhaps it should be coerced that all conservatives say exactly this. Of course, perhaps not at work. Then again, how will anything change? Still, for many, it really is speak the truth or feed your family and I have no idea what to say to the poor saps in that situation.
