Thus when “inferior” groups seek equality, the dominant group thinks the inferior group want to displace them at the top.

People who hold a hierarchal view don& #39;t think that equality (democracy) is possible, so when someone tries to climb up and join them at the top, they feel threatened.

Sometimes the lesson isn& #39;t easy to learn.
My son at 3: "Today we learned to take turns. I don& #39;t like to take turns. I want all the turns."
