Yep....whites created it all.....including racism....or don't you want to claim that.
Yes, whites created it, and then ended slavery throughout the world and passed laws against racial discrimination against non-whites.

Question though.....where were Europeans, Caucasoid, during the time that civilization was given birth to between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers?
In Europe.
Quote:
What was the state of Europeans during the great dynasties of Egypt when the Pyramids were being built? I mean...the whites in America are from EUROPEAN background....correct?
They were living a life that would eventually lead them to become the creators of most of civilization.
Do their achievements bother you?
There was no affirmative action for them, you know.
In the end, it's not the race that's key. It's the cultural baggage that can be - but is not always - correlated with race that affects outcomes.
There's no real reason why Japanese and Koreans significantly outperform others in their racial cohort, other than culture.
Same with Germans compared to Greeks.
Or African Immigrants compared with Africans in America who are the descendants of enslaved Americans. Why is the culture of the African immigrant so much different from the culture of African Americans? I mean, if the culture of African Americans is the problem......I would ask who did we learn that culture from....because there were only whites around to emulate.

Huge fail on your racist post. The Caucasoid race includes Europe, the great dynasties of Egypt (as DNA testing has proven), and the people that lived between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Ignorant people think the Caucasoid race is only European. You might want to pick up a book and do some reading before posting a racist rant again and maybe next time have a clue as to what you're talking about.
I was listening to talk radio on my way to work this morning (I know...that was my first mistake) and realized that a lot of supposedly smart people don't know or respect the definition of "racism" or terms like "white privilege". The context of which they use the term and or the arguments they make against the claim implies that they have no clue of what the official definition of these terms are.
Its a rhetorical question, but why would smart people not know and or avoid knowing these definitions, but continue to use the term and or attempt to refute accusations made claiming these terms? If you do not know what the definition of something is, how can you refute the claim?
On the show a caller called in and claimed that there exists white privilege. Once that claim was made another caller called in to debunk that claim, noting that he came from a poor family that did not have much and that he worked since he was 14 doing jobs most people did not want to do, went to college and then became successful. In other words, no one gave him anything...he worked hard for it. However, "white privilege" has nothing to do with ABSOLUTES. It does not mean that you face no hurdles and have it easy as a white person. It means, as a general rule, that RELATIVE to a black person doing the exact same thing, you will allowed to more success.
No matter how hard you work, someone has to facilitate your success. Someone has to give you a job, a loan, an opportunity.....after you do your part. The facilitator will disproportionately be a white person, which is built in white privilege that is a legacy of an unjust and unequal history. Their implicit bias will grant favor to another white person over a black person with the same credentials, as a general rule, unless society tries to counter act those implicit bias with programs like affirmative action.
This video one example of white privilege...ergo...blacks and white doing the same thing and getting different resultants/judgements, based upon implicit biases. Note that the implicit bias is only revealed when juxtaposed. If you just watched the film of the response toward the black kid....you would see no bias.....the absolute facts were his actions, which warranted the confrontation and reactions. It's only when you see A WHITE PERSON DOING THE SAME THING GETTING A DIFFERENT REACTION in degree or kind, that the implicit bias against blacks results in "white privilege". Hence, a white person cannot really judge if they are the beneficiaries of white privilege unless they juxtapose them selves against a black person doing the exact same things and where they ended up.
The reasons are many. First, the left and the perpetually butt-hurt continue to change the definition of racism so that any inadvertent slight or perceived injustice is regarded as "racism". Being treated equally under they eyes of the law is now racism. The thought that special, protected classes should be treated the same as whites is now regarded as racism. The thought that minorities should not be given special advantages or treatment in terms of hiring and college admission is now considered "racism". The thought that rioting, blocking traffic and attacking innocent people are crimes, and not a just protest, is now racism. Calling enforcing our immigration laws "racism" rather than, well, enforcing our laws, is now "racism". Expecting violent thugs that attack police officers and innocent people to be arrested is now "racism" if the thug is a minority. Regarding a bunch of people that riot when a violent thug is put down while attacking an innocent person as ignorant morons is now racism.
Sorry-the protected classes, liberals and our media have largely destroyed the definition of "racism" by changing the definition and using it to denigrate anyone that disagrees with their ideas or motives. And "white privilege" is a silly azzed term made up by the left to try to generate unjustified feelings of guild and sympathy.

At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself and not continue to say that your way of life is "caused" by other people.

In Europe.

Yes....ending a rape you started is exoneration. Maybe you all just "climaxed"....and got what you wanted to get from it. You busted your profit......then lite a cigarette and decided this was wrong.
Europeans were uncivilized when civilizations was thriving in other parts. You all did not reinvent the wheel....you simply inherited the knowledge created by those who first created civilization...and expanded upon it. No knock against you all......just saying being ON TOP is not demonstration of a superior race....if you were actually the superior race.....civilization would have started in Europe.
The Power plus prejudice nonsense was started by Patricia Bidol-Padvain 1970 in her book Developing New Perspectives on Race: An Innovative Multi-media Social Studies Curriculum in Racism Awareness for the Secondary Level.

Oh I agree.....I do believe that we have no choice but to take responsibility for our future, because if racism is prevalent as has been argued, it would be foolish to anyone else is going to take responsibility for it. That having been said, taking responsibility or not is not germane to cause and effect of our culture. Again, who did we learn this culture from......given that African American culture is so different from the culture of African immigrants, since all culture is LEARNED? Where did we LEARN referring our selves as the N word? Is that Bantu, Akan or Swahili?
Yes....ending a rape you started is exoneration. Maybe you all just "climaxed"....and got what you wanted to get from it. You busted your profit......then lite a cigarette and decided this was wrong.
Oh, get off your high horse.
All races practiced slavery and oppression for thousands of years. That includes blacks.

Yeah, they created 2% of it, and Europeans created 98% of it.

Wrong. Civilization in some form started everywhere. But it reached its highest point in Europe. That is obvious.
