Reply #138: Privilege has never been color blind in America

[MrScorpio]

And it's a fantasy to think that it every will be, because it's so firmly entrenched at its core.

They only way that it could change, is either the privilege class changes by disavowing their privilege and shares power (not very likely), or those not benefiting from privilege would rise up and take it by force (just as unlikely).

Why?

Because the beneficiaries are inherently unable to cope with any notion of having their privilege taken away from them. They have their guns, their police forces and their institutions to make that advantage concrete.

Those that aren't as privileged have learned how to cope within this system in order to survive it.

Whether one is black, brown, gay or a woman, developing those coping skills is always the key to survival.
