"White Privilege" as the Neutron Bomb of Moral Warfare

Enlarged

The growing popularity of "check your privilege" and "white privilege" at Universities and in political debates is interesting.

Why is it interesting? It's not a force for progress or positive change, it's a form of moral warfare.

That means it's not a constructive remark that improves the debate, rather, it's an attack that does damage the target.  However, it doesn't damage the target directly.  Instead, the damage is done by weakening or breaking the moral bonds that allow the target to function in a social context.
