Because at least then I would get the impression that you were capable of understanding them, and could correct you if you don't.

I would respect an intelligent rebuttal, but a thoughtless dismissal only proves you're out of your depth.

It still has no meaning. It could of been just as easily an African descended population group. There really is no empirical or logical reason for saying "white people created civilization". It's an empty statement and serves no purpose. It's like saying a white person created the light bulb. The person race or ethnicity has no meaning or purpose in the creation of the light bulb. The only reason it's spoken is to assert a racial superiority, yet it's quite obviously a correlation does not equal causation type deal. It's a relative coincidence that mostly white people have created ****, it occurred this way due to other non-racial or ethnic reasons, i.e. non inherent reasons (environmental).


You do not understand almost every single argument you bring from stormfront is based on a logical fallacy. The reason people call your arguments racist or stupid is becasue this gets pointed out, but you close-mindedly double down on clearly illogical and irrational premises.

He didn't create the light bulb....the village and the culture established by the village created it.

I would suppose you are a white privilege advocate that removes a unique human beings abilities from the equation. The persons race or ethnicity has nothing to do with it, but his/her unique inherent curiosity and intelligence coupled with the supportive environment led to the creation of the light bulb, it just so happen he happens to be white and male. Which means nothing.

Lightbulb The End of an Era... for White Males

As a white male, I'll say this...

Whatever this "new era" turns out to be, we white guys will still be in good shape.

Hint: to demonstrate that race and ethnicity does not matter. It's like you picked out one part and ignored the rest. You can not be this big of ****ing idiot, can you?

Once you do that, stop taking my statements out of context in an horrible attempt to misrepresent my premise.
