...part of thinking yourself superior is needing to define others as inferior...after all, if everyone on earth was a superior being, no one would be superior because the word would be meaningless...you have to have an "inferior" as a reference point so you can contrast yourself to him and know you must be superior because look at what little he has to how much more you have...that goes for privilege too....when whites excuse their own crimes against darkies it's there way of "proving" to themselves that they really are superior...

This is why neo-cons always confuse the word "equality" with all things being equal. They don't want all things to be equal...they want themselves to be above equal, to be special, in a category of their own...and so they scoff and say.."you mean we are all equal in talent and skill and if not we must be MADE equal"?

But that's not the definition of "equal" that progressives use...of course people are born with indidisual variations of skill potential, intelligence potential etc. What we mean by equality is give every kind an equal CHANCE...no one is saying that every child born anywhere has to be an equal as a surgeon...obviously some will be born better equipped...what we are saying is give everfy kid an equal chance to STRIVE to become the best they can be...if we did that, people would be satisfied...no one say, "I know I flunked surgery 101, but I have the right to be an equal brain surgeon, so give me my diploma regardless". That's just plain stupid and no is demanding that...neo-cons are PRETENDING that's what is meant by "equal opportunity"...the key word there is OPPORTUNITY...we just want humans to be given an equal shot in life.

Neo-cons want the deck to remain stacked in their favor...and that requires an "inferior class" they can always compare their status to. That's the reason women's liberation was so traumatic for white men...because men often define themselves, know who they are, by comparing themselves to the "other", in this case a woman...a man doesn't really know what manhood is until he looks over at the woman, in her place, and says, "I am not her, therefore I am a man"....which is why their identity is so fragile, because it isn't based on who THEY are, but who the other is, and she has to remain in her role or he'll be lost...same with Blacks...white privilege, which whites need in order to "feel superior"( because most of them have no intrinsic or actual reason to feel superior)is that inferior person over there...so long as the other remains in an inferior position, the white trash can feel the superiority of being white...let Blacks improve their lot, and let some of them climb above whites, and it becomes obvious that most whites have no reason at all to feel superior. Their CLAIM that they are superior was enough before, because the Black was held to an inferior position. They had to do no actual work to be superior, just be white and keep the Blacks down...Obama as president diminished the office to whites...it was no longer an office worthy of respect...it had been trivialized by being occupied by an "inferior" person....that's the reason they said "He doesn't understand"...or He isn't one of us...or, He is African, or Muslim, when all they meant was HE IS AN INFERIOR PERSON....A NIGGER.
