Well, the first episode of Real World, May 21, 1992. The End.
Until then, though, there were infrequent but stunning, surreal moments, like Alton Brown (before his celeb chef days), as director of photography for REM's The One I Love video.
You are exactly correct. Dan Williams would have fit in perfectly with the Pol Pot regime.
He probably would not have survived it, but maybe, depending on his usefulness (same as with Stalin).
This will probably be a set-up for a demand that grades be abolished. If you feel that you have learned enough, you graduate. Liberalism has become a parody of itself.
So using this logic, blacks have athletic privilege and can no longer play sports at the university because it wouldn’t be fair to the others.
Tin cans and string are too advanced. I would say drum beats.
Nobody thinks this article may be satire?
Decades ago I saw “Between Time & Timbuktu” - a Vonnegut collage - on, of all things PBS. The “Harrison Bergeron” segment has stuck in my mind until this day.
Privilege in general is “the receipt of certain benefits wholly through accident of birth and it is “undeniable that privilege itself is a reality,” you mean like the lazy RAT bastards that think it's their Privilege to take the hard earned tax dollars from productive members of society while they sit on their fat azz get drunk/stoned and pop out more privileged RATS, that kind of privilege?
delenda est...
Implicit message to democrats: "you have nothing to be ashamed of for being stupid.”
I consider myself smart, but I also don't see that detail as important. Beyond a minimum threshold of intelligence, what matters is character. I worked harder than any member of the Ctrl-Left can imagine to build my business. I dealt with every customer honestly and always, without exception, delivered what I had promised - top quality and on time. Obama wasn't merely mistaken; he was lying and he knew it: I built that. The secret that terrifies leftists is that character is a choice. I am successful because of the decisions I made, not because of skin color, accident of birth, or some residual privilege.
Now the Marxists have swerved into the truth.
“White privilege” is the result of the fact that white people are smarter* than most other people—Asians and Ashkenazi Jews excepted.
I.e., median IQ.
So the new Designated Elite is low IQ Negroes? Will we be required by Social Justice to hire proportionate numbers of stupid people management positions at major corporations? Universities- well, we already do that there.
Then you reduce the average IQ a few notches and the leveling process has to start all over again.
Sometimes I wonder if our works of satire had given the leftards ideas of how to be more ridiculous.

You’ve latched onto the key piece of this... If you choose a mate that will provide or protect a genetic advantage in your offspring, you’re Hitler.
The point the author is trying to make.
Thank you very much for saving me the effort to find this story that I thought of immediately after this idiot's mental diarrhea! Truly, there is very seldom anything really new under the Sun but the persistence of these Luddites and Levelers to produce an equal outcome never ceases!
The fact is that with the Pop Culture and the 500 channels of dreck, we find ourselves celebrating the bottom and disparaging the top. Once we had celebrations of 'Great ideas' and 'Great Men' (when 'men' could be gender neutral) but now every such person or idea has to be shown with clay up to their thighs, even for the village children!
Asians are the most “cognitively privileged” worldwide.
Let’s go take their stuff.
Hmmm as long as I don’t have to be a commie
