White people killed the Native Americans off and have greatly influenced middle Eastern and African culture. And to be honest, this is rarely present in how I look at political issues. BUT if you're gonna make sweeping assumptions about what the world would look like if... what? White people didn't colonize everything? Well, then I'm going to point out that you can't know... because they did. For all you know, we'd have colonies on Mars by now.
The fact is: race has nothing to do with civilizational development. Europeans got their technology because of needs that other cultures didn't have. I believe it was Francis Bacon who said that three basic innovations were what made the world better, believing them to have originated from Europe (gun powder, printing press, compass). They all came from China. If we assume that Europeans rapid development that occurred during the Renaissance was because of these things, then obviously the white race wasn't why.
Not that I think you've thought about this in depth. You strike me as nothing but a standards "trendy conservative" who likes to just say things that aren't politically correct because you think it makes you a rebel.
I'll second this. Kudos.
Ignorance is far too prevelent in this world. Something the OP shows with great clarity.
Whites and Europeans in general are not great due to any innate qualities in the genes or anything else to do with the race. It's more of a matter of location and timing. All societies have their good and bad.
I'm not white, but I am glad to be living in a society that was founded largely on anglo-saxon principles. I personally believe it has produced the most civilized societies in the world.
Let's look at the other side of the coin then, shall we? I am part Native American, and if this culture would have dominated this continent, we would be way behind on technological innovation.
Or just look at existing societies such as all the countries in Africa or the middle east. Is this what anti-white people want?
I really don't understand the anti-white sentiment. The only way it makes sense is if people are just jealous and bitter, which appears to be the case.
Look at South Africa.
There was an apartheid and whatnot under the white rule but things were very well organized and in order.
And now it went down the crappers after blacks took over. Chaos, rampant crime and deep corruption from top to the bottom.
Interestingly enough, there are now white slums and white beggars in the street (I have personally seen it) in totally black communities of South Africa. It was weird sight, a young blonde girl in shambles, begging in the streets full of black population.
So there are pros and cons of white rule but I guess it's only cons under non-white rule if you look at the example of South Africa. From the president to lowest level clerk in the govt, it's corrupt.
Jeez, I dunno, perhaps it comes from white invasion and subjugation of non-whites.
You should read more history. At times over the course of our existence it has been the exact opposite. It goes back and forth. The only thing that is constant is the categorization and hate. Now it's hate for "whites." Once upon a time it was hate for "blacks." Before that visa-versa. Before that "browns" hating "yellows." Before that "yellows" hating "whites." So forth, ad nauseam. And people wonder how anyone could be a misanthrope.

You are not very much Indian or you wouldn't say these things.
Usual liberal selective outrage. Non whites have been invading, subjugating and enslaving non whites for tens of thousands of years and continue to do so today.
Exactly! Some liberals gave a hard time dealing with facts.
What about the music? -Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, Suzi Quatro .... the list goes on.
People of all races have contributed to music. Ever hear of Motown which had several black singers like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Four Tops, etc? Soul & gospel music, etc? Tejano music? Carlos Santana?
In some ways that is a little more impressive, especially the musicians of color that started before the Civil Rights era during the Jim Crow era.
Should we talk about sports?....baseball, basketball, football. Hockey is definitely a white dominated sport, but not the first three.
