Some Limitations of Supremacy

Isn’t it odd that some of the angriest people on the planet want to claim Earth but refuse to have a simple conversation in it? Being an adult in reaction and accountability seems almost impossible when it comes to the missing civility in the supremacy crowd. It’s always “do as I say, not as I do.”

Why should the world – or more realistically, Americans – respect the power grab of the supremacy group when they keep proving they’re too immature to deal with leadership? Why should we, the global citizens, continue to place trust in a group that refuses to be honest about their true accolades?

If this were a company- with cameras and security footage proving that this group of employees routinely missed deadlines, failed polygraphs, stole from the vault, sexually assaulted colleagues, assaulted the physically challenged, and falsified their résumés but cried discrimination when they didn’t get promoted – how would they remain employed? Leadership without integrity is a liability, not a legacy.

How is it allowed they are routinely rewarded for the very things they persecute others for – especially those who don’t look like them? From failed politicians, parents, CEOs, city managers, failed NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky turned ESPN analysts (routinely biased criticism of young Black athletes), school boards, and federal bankers to presidents – positions keep being recycled among the same faces and excuses. When accountability never applies to them, failure becomes a promotion, and hypocrisy turns into policy.

It’s not easy respecting a person – or a group – when every time the topic of accountability comes up, we hit a national roadblock. The moment responsibility enters the room, we’re buried under an avalanche of garbled word salad followed immediately with insults that lead everywhere but to resolution or facts. (White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt)

And how is it feasible that – regardless of how important the role or title one carries, or even their age – there tends to be an immediate response of amnesia to any offense given, followed quickly by justification?

“I wouldn’t have unloaded my entire clip, but someone else already shot him a dozen times.”

“My son couldn’t have sexually assaulted them – he’s. handsome.”

Or my personal favorite: when someone shines the light of accountability on the suspect, they flip the script and cry, “You’re racist for calling me a racist!” for proving they are who they are?

Take something as basic as naming. Many animals are known by their simplest characteristics: brown bear, black bear. Yet somehow, the most vicious bear on Earth – one of the few animals that actively hunts humans – is a white bear, but politely known as polar. Even it gets a pass under the banner of mental health while still being one of the planet’s most dangerous predators. There has to be something to that.

What I’ve noticed is that the same people who’ve made a global habit of handing out demeaning, disrespectful labels toward anyone not white are often the quickest to catch feelings when accountability is mentioned. There’s a correlation there.

Maybe it starts early. How many parents refuse to stop coddling their children and allow maturity to grow with the body? Maybe the world would be a safer place if more people stopped saying, “This white baby is only 372 months old,” and started introducing real consequences at younger ages. Responsibility shouldn’t be an elective – it’s part of growing up.

And if supremacy is such a badge of honor, here’s a simple challenge:

Try living one day with only white-created technology, food, or cultural advancements.

Some are already halfway there – heading back to medieval hygiene habits like the old European royals. But let’s go all in. To start, no more Taco Tuesdays. And before you get clever, no Taco Bell, TacoTime, Taco John’s, Del Taco, or Qdoba either – they all came from the originals. Back to salted meats and porridge, off you go.

So, here’s something for the unthankful takers to chew on. Your daily life – without non-white contributions – would be missing:

  • Your morning coffee or tea
  • Rice, noodles, curries, tacos, sushi, stir-fry, tortillas, plantains, chocolate, hot peppers, and nearly every spice you love
  • Modern math, science, and navigation (so likely no space travel, computers, or global trade as we know it)
  • Most of the music, art, and fashion that define global culture today

If supremacy means denying reality while depending on everyone else’s brilliance, maybe it’s time for a new definition. Because claiming dominion without conversation, gratitude, or accountability isn’t leadership – it’s arrested development. Eventually, the world moves on from those who refuse to grow.

Darkness can’t hide truth forever – eventually, light demands a response.
