    Default Jordan Peterson destroys the idea of White Privilege

    Yep.

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Default Jordan Peterson destroys the idea of White Privilege

    He “destroys” the idea of ‘white privilege’, by rebranding it as ‘majority privilege’ which in America is, er, white?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    words matter. If it's majority privilege it means whatever privilege MAY exist has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. Also apply to sub groups - such as areas predominately non-white.

    Insofar as everyone participates in it, there's probably some data that suggests societies prefer members of their society.

    Economically? No. Everyone has the same chance for success. Poverty is a choice for able-bodied members of society.

    So you agree that societies tend to have inbuild bias and preferences, but don’t think that has any economic impact?

    Which political party in this nation most defends ,criminals, perverts, ex cons, terrorists, etc, etc, etc.....
    The answer to that question is obvious and its answer points directly at the entity/group seething to destroy this nation-- two plus two always equals four(libs- new math says it can be 5)...
    The designed counter to this is the faithfuly promoted idea that one must not, can not and by god will not, dare call one group evil( dem party finds this infintely helpful and are the ones that engineered (this stupidity) and promotes it in the PC attack strategy.....
    Yet old dinosaurs like me , taught by schools and teachers that were so damn good at their jobs( over 5 decades ago)-- simply refuse this darkness, this calamitous arrogance, stupidity--AND REFUSE THIS EVILLLLLL......
    And we do this because we long ago decided , not to bow down to such filthy morons and their utter insanity that lead them to be evil bastards.

    No. I said society likes its own and tends to prefer its own. There is no oppression in the USA of any minority group except for white men, whose oppression if federally-funded and at times mandated.

    Societal "privilege" may exist except it has little to no power to change somebody's life.

    Or turkey privilege in Turkey?
    Or chili privilege in Chili?
    Or racing privileges in I RAN??--
    Or any other fantasy way to "splain" the differences in different cultures and different levels of wealth? Maybe we should act as libs "splain" -- in Spain?--

    Humor aside-

    Selling a lie is always easier the dumber the person is that you are selling it to..
    Which is why dem/libs set about and accomplished the wholesale downgrading of our public school system..
    The more ignorant one is(as in the less educated) the more gullible they are,,
    Dems/libs, socialists/marxists all swear by that strategy, and this nation having suffered 8 destructive years of the obama is all the proof that one needs to see that truth. ---Tyr

    The Democrats, and entire DNC practice telling lies often enough to convince those who aren't permitted to know the TRUTH. Saul Alinski used the same tactics, and taught them to Socialist...Democrats.
    Pay close attention to number 6 below.....

    Noir.....you always say "SO YOU SAY". Do you like putting words in other's mouths?

    Why don't you read what is stated?

    Just be critical for an opposite view? Time to grow up, sonny!

    Default Noir is back to try again at being taught...

    Noir. Your tactics didn't work when you were here before, and they certainly aren't going to work now. That's the definition of insanity. Trying something and failing, then trying it again..only to get the same results.

    The Liberal Tactic you are using...Always asking a question with a suggestion (So you say)....is a typical tactic that prevents you from actually being forced to answer your own questions.
    But it is entertaining to see how YOU SIMPLY NEVER LEARNED THE FIRST TIME.

    Again, Noir wants to twist what he read. Did you read and listen carefully?
    What is the UK doing with all the problems there? Answer - NOT A DAMN THING.

    Time to grow up lad. Preach to you own country mates. Fix that first. Or get appointed to the UN and
    be as useless as you are on media such as this.

    We don't even perceive problems as the problems they ARE ... because 'PC' imperatives get in the way. Led, aided and abetted, by the Left .. of course ...

    The UK has an enormous amount to fix in its own society, so you make an excellent point.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
