Yes, more or less white people makes no difference. The privileged group will just change.This. "Whiteness" is just a placeholder, as long as people are willing to buy in and support the system in exchange for at least a perceived higher place in the totem pole and benefits, you're going to continue to run into problems.
Basically, you cant fight fire with fire. Fighting this fight along racial and ethnic lines is actually what the conservatives and fascists want.
Yes. Since racism is everywhere there's no reason to believe that less white people would lead to it disappearing.Are you talking about a particular country, because worldwide you can see that progressive initiatives are hindered by more than just a white people majority?
Edit: didn't see US in title. Although, thinking about it, using the rest of the world as an example I'm sceptical that that would be the case.
To get some where regarding inequality the discussion needs to be more about class and less about ethnicity. Making it about race and religion is just a way for the wealthy to keep the others down.Yeah, of course. There's nothing special about white people insofar as these issues go. What I mean is that white people will fight for and against progress. People of other ethnicities and races will do the same. It's the power structures that need dismantling. The grotesque income inequality has to be dealt with. That kind of thing.
As a first step, we need to get the hell out there and vote. The Democrats aren't perfect, but the Republicans are proto-fascists, ready to implement it. Getting Democrats in real power can also help us push the Overton Window.
It also feels a bit short sided to wonder about "real progress" when you look at where this country started and compare it to now.
And this is important. People are not the problem, their ideas are.I don't think the problem is white people, but rather their (of some) ideology. Otherwise it is like saying, "can Afghanistan ever reach peace as long as Afghans are a majority?". Afghans are not the problem, radical Islam is. Same in the US, the problem is racism, white supremacism and traditionalist Christianity, not white people.
