Interestingly, individuals often find it more preferable to devalue others’ worth rather than contributing to their growth and happiness. They would rather undermine others’ empowerment than support their pursuit of inclusivity and self-worth.
It’s equally perplexing and counterintuitive that these individuals empower themselves by shaping the institutions and systems that foster everyone else’s success, growth, and prosperity, while persistently convincing marginalized groups of their unworthiness of equal treatment.
It seems that others are penalized for their ingenuity and the pursuit of acceptance, as well as the fundamental principles of respect and dignity, which should be universally applicable.
Proponents of supremacy often display reluctance in acknowledging that their claimed superiority is not substantiated by facts but rather perpetuated through systemic oppression, racism, and suppression made possible by the power of constructed systems designed to obstruct marginalized people, groups, and communities from benefiting from them.
They are compelled to cling to their power by generating obstruction and obstacles, continuing to deteriorate the integrity of the systems responsible for balancing power and wealth, thereby restricting access to those groups, communities, and people working towards parity.
Although historically oppressed groups have succeeded in overcoming systemic barriers and institutionalized biases, those who previously held power through supremacist ideologies are now attempting to reverse the progress and undermine the achievements, having largely maintained their existing perspectives. It is only a matter of time before their efforts and dominance lose all meaning.
Path Forward
To move forward, we must dismantle systems of oppression, demand inclusivity and equality, and empower those who have been historically marginalized. Progress comes through transforming power structures, advocating for policies that ensure equal access to opportunities, and reimagining success and community through a lens of collective growth and justice.
