White Supremacy


According to Britannica and the Oxford Dictionary - White Supremacy is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups.


So, the question about which people are dramatically concerned with:

IS THE USA A WHITE SUPREMACIST COUNTRY?

I suppose that one could successfully argue both side of this question since our Founding Fathers were WASPS and possibly white supremacists, especially in how they wrote the US Constitution.

It could also be argued that our early citizens were white supremacists because of the way they treated native Americans, who are now continuing to live their lives on reservations.

AND...  since 60% of the US population is white, one could legitimately say that whites have the advantage.

Obviously, whites have the advantage in America but not because of white supremacy but because of their numbers.  It is their numbers that caused them to become more educated and be hired before other ethnic groups...  not white supremacy.

All groups of people should be given equal opportunity but the rules, conditions, and the robust nature of education should not be altered or diminished in order to allow some to receive what they do not deserve.

AMERICANS WILL NEVER ALWAYS BE:
  • beautiful or attractive
  • intellectually gifted
  • physically talented
  • artistically talented
  • musically talented
  • entrepreneurial material
  • gifted speakers

What is more likely to happen regardless of ethnicity is that Americans will follow the 80/20 Rule...

This rule basically says that 20% of any given population will be successful while 80% of that same population WILL NOT be successful.
