Does this silly cartoon explain what's wrong with Identity Politics?

Difference is the pink shirt stops just short of saying whites are inherently superior. They say whites are on top "because".

No they say it's because of a stacked deck created by having majority

The guy on the left is a caricature . The thing on the right isn’t.

I don't think that's true. White Europeans weren't global majorities over Asians or Africans. It's not like places in Africa have the deck less stacked against them.

Is not the premise of "white privilege" that a majority has created a biased system that benefits them unfairly?

It's not my premise but I'm pretty sure that's their point

It left out the part where the other races are somehow such a threat

to an extent, but not always

example: European colonialism

Europe was nowhere near the majority and they conquered the entire world

and progs LOVE to blame colonialism to explain why non-Euopean countries are so far behind

That's called majority privilege... and it's the basis of all cultures... the majority benefit

Otherwise, what's the point of creating a culture to begin with??

In China and Japan, do they have yellow privilege??

In Chile and Argentina, do they have brown privilege??

Etc.

Etc.

Societies are set up so the majority can take advantage of the riches... it's how societies advance, survive and thrive

This white privilege shite has gotten way out of hand... no matter one's color or sex, they can become anything they want to be in this country if they work hard enough... except me... a short, tubby, chain smoking white guy will never make it in the NBA... but got damn, I'm great at NBA Jam... so... close enough

It's boils down to decades of purposeful global psyops wanting to soften white men.

Those who see people of certain races as inferior beings are of the same mindset as those who see certain races as needing their help to survive.

Cartoon is pretty accurate.

I worked with a very bright young black man in NO and we’d talk race occasionally. One time, he proudly announced that blacks were naturally better athletes and entertainers. I warned him that saying that any group was inherently better than another at anything was a slippery slope and then asked him which group was naturally more intelligent, for example.

I gained a lot of insight from him.

White supremacist and white liberals/SJW's both see blacks as inferior.
