White Privilege: If Only Caucasians Were Extinct

White privilege is a popular mishmash of contradictions, and the definitions are so intertwined with silly putty that it becomes easily molded to accommodate anyone’s belief system and avoid the underlying truth. Honoré de Balzac was mentioned before because realism in today’s society is ignored in favor of romanticism in order to satisfy politically correct demands for equality of outcome, while avoiding the record on input processing ability and socio-techno-economic achievement.

Wikipedia provides an excerpt that illustrates the subject at hand.

White privilege (or white skin privilege) is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. With roots in European colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade, and the growth of the Second British Empire after 1783, white privilege has developed in circumstances that have broadly sought to protect white racial privileges, various national citizenships and other rights or special benefits.

“Roots in European colonialism?” Thus, white privilege was non-existent before the largely self-educated Columbus reached the Americas in 1492? In addition, the Atlantic slave trade had its roots in Africa, not Europe, as highlighted in “Slavery: You’re Free Thanks to White People.” To clarify, the differentiator was that colonizers possessed the economic creativity on how to exploit slave labor, a concept obviously lacking in the African continent based on their achievements before Europeans arrived on their shores. “Protect white racial privileges?” Where did white people derive their privilege from? Does that imply that whites are naturally superior? It’s fascinating how there’s always an excuse for everything, which is fodder for fools without critical thinking minds.

There’s yet another topic of interest that has never been presented, and relates to the hindrance of economic development of the nation caused by slavery, and will be presented in due time.

Why is there a perception of white privilege? People look around and realize that white people hold the majority of the wealth, inhabit the coveted pretty suburbs with white picket fences, swing sets, and groomed pets, and are the very definition of success and Western Civilization. There are certainly accusations that white people tend to stick together and favor each other, which is largely true, but is in line with the behavior of any other race and ethnic group. Have you ever been to Chinatown in San Francisco, Little Saigon in Westminster, California, or Little India in Jersey City?

Plenty of examples exist where the inborn human instinct to associate with one’s own kind is unmistakable and undeniable, defying the amusing premise that “there’s only one race, the human race.” Tigers with tigers, and lions with lions, and Little Mogadishu in Minneapolis is yet another self segregated community where nobody is knocking on their door asking for inclusivity.

In her makeup studio in the heart of the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, Sumaya Keynan painted a metallic shade onto a customer’s eyelids on a recent Saturday evening. Keynan could have set up shop anywhere. But like so many Minnesota Somalis, she felt the pull of Cedar-Riverside — or “Little Mogadishu,” as the locals call it.

“She felt the pull.” Indeed!

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects “the right of the people peaceably to assemble,” and does not create a legal obligation stating that an individual must welcome anyone into one’s group. But that’s a topic for another time, which goes to the heart of the inherent unconstitutionality of all U.S. non-discrimination laws.

Needless to say, the quest for magic mushrooms to heal racial differences and discrepancies and to provide insight on how to deal with white privilege continues unabated, as reported by Campus Reform.

The College of New Jersey’s Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion hosted an event called “Racial Privilege: A Primer” during which, according to The Signal student newspaper, participants were told to “put on their racial clothing” to explore the effects of racial privilege.

Predictably, Robin Parker, the executive director of the Beyond Diversity Resource Center in charge of the workshop, referred to “race as a social construct” which is the comedic avoidance of basic biology, and flies in the face of white privilege as a racial issue.

The beauty of simple questions with known but inconvenient answers is that they can never be circumvented or buried in a pile of psychological and philosophical nonsense. If every human came from the same, general humble beginnings — we’re all equal, remember? — what were non-whites doing for the last 500 years while Western Europeans were killing, pillaging, conquering, inventing, and building super thingamabobs of all types? Only Caucasians were murderous savages?

This is not another unnecessary racist rant, but rather a calm presentation of simple questions that nobody is interested in answering. Instead there’s the old tired song about colonialism and slavery being always at fault, which brings us back full circle, with the original question still standing unanswered. One cannot state that “all men are created equal” and then complaint about Race X holding back Race Y. Can’t Race Y figure a way out based on its inborn intellectual ability?

The claim of white privilege being an impediment to prosperity for non-whites only occurs within Western Civilization, while black privilege is never a problem for white people living in Africa, although Caucasians are a minority. Why would that be?

Therefore, the one scenario that has not been considered is that of eradication, and is summarized like this: If only Caucasians became extinct 500 years ago, all other races would have invented, developed and built the world as we see it today, and the socio-techno-economic achievement of non-whites wouldn’t be so unbelievably dismal without the interference and blockage from white privilege.

Do you think that if Caucasians were extinct, you would be surfing the Internet over Wi-Fi, and watching the politically correct Oscars on a TV in your living room, while corn meets its final pop in the microwave?
