Basically it's just another round of the end justifies the means, which has ever-been the moralistic rationale of the Left.

To wit:
The vote of a suppressed person of color should weigh more than the vote of someone who has white privilege.

I'm not kidding--this was told to me by a professor at the university I work at.

Although often unremarked by conservatives, the distortion of the meaning of the word "privilege" drives me to distraction.

From Wikipedia:

"Privilege is the sociological concept that some groups of people have advantages relative to other groups. The term is commonly used in the context of social inequality, particularly with regards to race, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability and social class.[1] Specific elements of privilege may be financial or material such as access to housing, education, and jobs,[1] as well as others that are emotional or psychological, such as a sense of personal self-confidence and comfortableness, or having a sense of belonging or worth in society.[2] It began as an academic concept, but has since become popular outside of academia.[3]" (emphasis supplied).

From the emphasized portion of the quotation we can see the hand of leftists at work.

I wonder if it was the same professor?
