Black privilege exists; white privilege does not exist

*** This content has been deleted and is only visible to you. *** On the contrary, my answer IS about the benefits of being black. It wasn’t about white privilege; indeed, there is no such thing as white privilege. There are no government policies, no civil rights laws, that single out white people for special favor. There are such policies and laws that demand that white employers hire blacks, whether or not they are reliable or qualified. The profit motive impels employers to hire the ablest workers, regardless of their sex or race. If they do not, then they will lose to their competitors and go out of business. The proof? You mentioned its effects, but you got the cause wrong. Consider an exemplary industry: spaceflight. Victor Glover aside, the whitest space launch provider in the United States is SpaceX. It’s primary American competitor, ULA, has bowed to the Marxist diversity, inclusion, and equity demands, and, because of that, it has difficulty getting anything done on time and within budget. Whereas that is a problem with all too-big-to-fail corporate contractors, it is especially so with companies that have hired and must pay blacks, knowing that the best thing they can have them do is nothing, let them get their checks and stay out of the way. When the blacks insist on actually doing something, you get rocket parts dissolved when one of them uses the wrong solvent; you get sun-shield fasteners incorrectly installed so that they fall off when the space telescope is moved; you get corrosion on fuel/oxidizer valves going unreported until it is discovered at the last minute, just before launch. There is A REASON for why there has never been a launch to orbit by a group of black Africans working on their own. There is A REASON for why all spaceflight so far has been conducted, primarily, by white people and, secondarily, by Asians who are trying to catch up with the achievements made by white people fifty years ago. That reason is intelligence. To rise naturally (without a politically mandated boost) by doing technical work in a technically advanced culture, one must have the merit of a high IQ. Whites aren’t privileged; they are smarter. Generally speaking. It would be more accurate to say that intelligence is more generously distributed among whites than it is among blacks, because that way it is clear that the smartest black might be smarter than the dumbest white person (which is true), yet overall, and as a rule, whites are smarter than blacks. Which explains why spaceflight isn’t a black thing. Not only are whites smarter, whites are also better-behaved. Again, there are exceptions: the best-behaved black behaves better than the worst-behaved white does. But overall, and as a rule, whites behave better than blacks do. That’s why the 3% of the US population that are male blacks between the ages of 16 and 40 perpetrate more than half of the murders in the United States. No, it isn’t white privilege. There is no such thing as white privilege. There are racial differences, and which variant of the species is “best” depends on which environment they must adapt to. If that environment is a technically advanced civilization, then whites and Asians are the best adapted, while blacks are the most poorly adapted. And it shows in all kinds of ways. *** Comment deleted 26m ago *** |
