Privilege is not a moral judgement. It is a sociological concept. Without the word “privilege”, a different word, or a longer phrase, will have to be used. Ultimately, the concept of privilege is a tool for good, intended to help bring people up. Republican finger-wagging, on the other hand, is used to maintain the status quo.
- micheljones 9y ago'Racial superiority' is also a 'sociological concept'. I hope you'll start to see the issue there.
- archagon 9y agoEr, not at all? Racial superiority is not a concept in any reputable subfield of sociology. Privilege is not someone’s misguided opinion, but a concept founded on years of research. I am disturbed by this false equivalence.

- micheljones 9y agoYou mixed me up with the guy you're replying to, who keeps arguing that his racist views are not racist.
- emodendroket 9y agoNo I meant the guy posting vacuous tired meme content

- emodendroket 9y agoPrivilege and class-blind racial discourse is also frequently trotted out in service of the status quo. Let's not kid ourselves.
