When Mediocrity Becomes a Birthright
Think about the last time you watched someone fail upward-someone who stumbled into success not through talent or hard work, but simply by showing up with the right skin color and gender. Now multiply that frustration by every institution in America, and you'll start to understand the machinery that props up white male mediocrity while demanding perfection from everyone else. Here's the uncomfortable truth: we've built an entire society around the idea that being a white man is itself an achievement. No resume needed, no proof of competence required. Just exist, and the world assumes you're destined for greatness. Meanwhile, women and people of color run a marathon in weighted vests, proving themselves exceptional before anyone considers them merely equal. This isn't an accident of history-it's a carefully maintained system that rewards the unearned while punishing the deserving.
