Is white privilege real?

People who are similar to each other are more likely to look out for each other. People are privileged to live in a community where the have a demographic majority.

Did he really say that??? :-s

People got out of the caves because they were knowledgeable and well informed people?? :confused:

Interesting theory. :-k

I would have to disagree about fear. Unknown only only creates fear in certain types of personalities, in others it creates determination or challenge and to a great extent amusement. As humans created civilization and began to settle it might be true that unknown causes more people to fear or it just seems like it because they whine the loudest and the most.

It’s ironic that liberals constantly use emotive and meaningless terms like hate and love without any qualification to adhominem another, then demand that well understood and researched terms like intelligence, which measure a quantifiable physical trait, are defined.
Of course, the definition is never accepted. We are dealing with childish minds here.

You are here comparing yourself to a dog.
Forgive me if I don’t join in with your comparison.
In biology, subspecies, race and breed are equivalent terms.

Wrong. There is no evidence to support this theory. In fact the opposite seems to be true.
There seems to be no advantage to pale skin in terms of vitamin D synthesis in northern climates. Ironically, Rickets, a disease characterized by severe vitamin D deficiency, is known as the English disease.

Obviously absurd.
Nature selects for whichever trait gives the organism an advantage.
Surviving in a harsh environment as well as competition between hominid groups has selected for the trait which provides the greatest advantage, in this case intelligence.

Humanity is a modern marketing idea, a meme that bears no referent to reality.
What has defined man has always been his sapience, his knowledge and intelligence.
Not the feel good ideas promulgated by capitalism to create a biological underclass.

Yet liberals like you are more afraid of it than anyone.

By your definition there is no difference, white skinned humans are not different in that.

White skinned humans (please remember that race is not just about skin color) use the term to codify and measure a phenomena that is highly significant in determining ones success in life.

That not all races produce the same average scores on tests correlates with their successes as subspecies in evolutionary history.
A clear, significant statistical difference emerges between racial groups in IQ testing.

And the IQ tests are from which culture?

From Western culture, the same one that produced the theory of evolution, America and the modern world.
We’re not going to say that evolution never happened now are we (unless you’re a Christian)?

Is there a difference between intelligence ,cumulative knowledge and intellectual abilities?

“White Privilege” is a phrase whereby European ethnicities voluntarily give up stored power for the sake of “one humanity”…always under the guise of the best understanding of history…maybe just another culling mechanism for stronger groups to find each other…

knowledge can only be built up by applying intelligence. Otherwise there is no pattern recognition, only instinctive reaction.
Intellectual abilities are another way of saying intelligence.

Here again is the definition of intelligence:

Now, can you define what you mean by progress?
Also what you mean by hate and fear and how this hinders it?

I will go with Webster’s definition.
Hate and fear of difference hinders the human species of true progress. Liberals and conservatives hate and fear differences. The difference is approach. One wishes to isolate, the other wishes to blend all into one. Difference has purpose, progress needs difference.

To be honest majority of white people are completely unaware that white privilege is a real thing and effects them because these privileges are things they’ve always had so it is kind of unconscious like they don’t realize it effects them because it has never not effected them. So for them it is not privilege but normal part of life

That would really depend upon where you were raised and the schools you attended. Just a thought: Attending a school that is dominated by one ethnic group will cause attitude changes in both the majority and minority in that school. This probably should include the adults in charge.

And how fortunate it is that so many gracious and kind people are out there willing to awaken the conscious of the unaware…it’s almost a “privilege” to be so grounded in what’s “real”…
