Jordan Peterson destroys the idea of White Privilege

[darin]

Yep.

[Noir]

He “destroys” the idea of ‘white privilege’, by rebranding it as ‘majority privilege’ which in America is, er, white?

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.

Do you think that majority privilege exists in America?

Do you think that majority privilege exists in America?

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?

What side would you say those of mixed heritage fall on?

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Yep.

Guy is brilliant-- so many truths spoken...
Short of it is this, in my opinion- To destroy good , eviiiiiiiiiil using any mean that gettttttttes resulttttttts,
destroying freedoms to speak is a great start to planting GARDEN OFF DESTRUCTION.
And evil only cares about death and destruction as far as mankind is concerened...
Thus it boils down to-- yetttt againnnnnnnn, good vs. evil....
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.
We that were taught to fight back oft is the honorable and most courageous path to follow!!-Tyr

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.

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

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.

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.

[Noir]

If there is such a thing as white privilege, how did it evolve?

I am by no means well read on the subject - but my understanding is that the base from which it grew was tribalism.

And there are no other tribes? Could it be that "whites" used available resources more effectively, thus expanding their tribe?

I'm not talking about recent history.

Of course - that’s a key point, through expansion, colonialism, and institutionalism a tribe expands its powerbase and social bias.

Individualism requires recognising and breaking down these inbuilt privileges, to remove power from the tribe and grant it to the individual.

So, how did whites obtain enough power to expand and colonize over other tribes?
