Here is the kicker. In nature and biology, which human life is a product of, success is measured only in numbers and reproduction. Lets just say the great mythical society and culture of Atlantis actually existed. Where are their descendants now? If you are not here.....as a species or race.....1000 years from now....can you really say that you were a successful species or race?
Which is superior.....a star marathon runner or a star sprinter? The answer would depend on the finish line....right? Where is the finish line for mankind? What does it really mean when on race or species is leading a a particular moment in time, only to later fall behind or become extinct? Of the biggest existential threats to life on earth......what people invented them into existence?
African peoples have been here...FROM THE BEGINNING of humanity. Black people currently have among the highest fertility rates in the world. We have been here and will continue to be here.....for the long run.....until and unless you all destroy the world with your "Inventions".
Jesus now you are demonstrating not ONLY a deficit in your understanding of history.... but also of genetics.
Do you realize the average southwest African is genetically more distinct from, say, a Somalian.... than a European is to an Asian. In FACT, there's more genetic difference BETWEEN Africans, than between an African and a European.
BTW: Africa has the highest fertility rate because it's poorest and least educated region on earth. (That, and modern medicine now allows babies to live as compared to 50% dying within the first couple years of birth).
Funny....since original humans are said to be Africans, black, what food were you dropping off then and how did they survive without it?
You have an egotistical/supremacist view of your importance in this world. That is what the professor was talking about.
The concept of "Africa" is an artificial one.
The concept of "black" is genetically unsound. That's not how humans work. The Irishman and the Japanese man inhabit the same landmass-continent and have remarkably similar skin tone. Doesn't make them the same people.

So... um.... congrats?
Race is not a biological construct, but rather, a social construct. Yet, now that the argument is not to your advantage, presumably, you want to talk to essentially play down race. You will get no argument from me in regards to decoupling race from biology....its all BS.
Anyway, even if 50% of the babies were dying, high fertility rates is natures way of offsetting that. Furthermore, natural selection means that each generation is getting stronger and stronger, because only the strongest children survive. In societies were medicine keeps children alive, natural selection and the survival of the fittest no longer applies. Such societies do not get stronger over time, but weaker.
For all the kvetching about white supremacy and white racism, white-majority countries are the best places to be minorities of any kind in this world. Almost without exception.
That's not so much an excuse for white racists in "the west" but more of an indictment of the theory that white people are uniquely racist in this world.
You don't have to accept racism in a white-majority country, but if you want to combat it, how about you stop projecting onto "white people" and throwing around buzzwords like "white supremacy" and "white privilege"... given that "white people" have shown themselves to be the most accommodating towards minorities of all kinds in their countries.
If white supremacy was that powerful then minorities in the west would be treated the way minorities are in just about every other country where "POC" are the majority: Like voiceless and exploited pieces of garbage.
This right here...and I AM of mixed ethnic background...spot on post
And when discussing slavery...KNOW that many Europeans of all ethnic groups came over as indentured servant, Right? It was a form of slavery...and many European servant, aka slaves suffered the same fates as their fellow black slaves
They were beaten, the women were raped and used as chattels, and all other sorts of abuse. Supposably an indentured servant could buy their freedom thru their servitude, but in all reality, it seldom happened.
If they were ill, the cost of medical care and missed days of work were added onto their tab, which then added more years of work needed to pay off their indenture. This is but one example.
The biggest difference is that the indentured servant entered into the contact "supposably" by choice, but there are plenty of artifactual stories which refute this.
Perhaps this some of the reason why the average American did feel for the slaves...for ALL slaves. I do not actually know of anyone who felt slavery to be anything but a blight on our history.
BTW, African Americans with a honest interest in the history of American slavery should delve deeper into the background of "who" was actually guilty of promoting and transporting Africans to the new world...it is pretty interesting....and the narrative has been enhanced and changed throughout history.
Spoiler Alert: It was an African American...highly educated...who told me about this history.
Many of the books about the topic have been banned for public sale...but if you dig deep, you will discover the truth.
Derp derp derp. "White imperalism".... somehow different than the imperialism engaged in by non-white peoples?
Don't be mad because your ancestors in Africa did NOTHING with the riches that flowed into the continent in exchange for its greatest resource - it's people. For several hundred years a flourishing trade was had between Africans and Arabs before the first Euro stumbled south of the Sahara... and NOTHING of enduring legacy was built by its rulers during that time. Where'd it all go? Plus, don't act like the Khoi San were digging in the mines for gold and diamonds to establish a trade when the Europeans came around and "stole" it from them.
When the Europeans got into the (already existing) colonial and slave-trade game in Africa, they were already building on a civilizational and philosophical legacy in Europe that had started thousands of years before the colonial period. The wealth HELPED, but did not CREATE what already was happening in Europe.
And your thesis fails anyway. Why is that although Arabs colonized Africa and Asia for far longer than the Europeans....hundreds of years longer.... they have all created what are basically regressive, non-progressive and backwards countries? Surely with a several hundred year head start extracting riches from Europe, Asia and Africa they should be light years ahead of the rest of humanity in how they treat minorities. After all, one of the greatest and longest lasting empire of the last 1000 years is actually the Ottoman Empire (which colonized large swaths of eastern Europe for hundreds of years). In contrast, European colonialism in the Middle East lasted mere DECADES. I bet you STILL would prefer to be black in the UK vs. black in Turkey.
And it goes beyond affluence and wealth. Wealth doesn't dictate how well a people treats its minorities. Saudi Arabia is rich beyond imagination, yet treats all minorities in its borders like ****. Japan and China are rich, and minorities have ZERO power. Not just disadvantage... but basically no hope of rising to any power whatsoever.
It must suck to be a POC, who has to blame everything on white supremacy and living a life of oppression under the evil thumb of the white man to know that in the end, their "own" people - when they have a majority - are actually almost universally WORSE to minorities and people different from them than the white man in white-majority countries.
What a bunch of idiots......
Some of the rhetoric promoted by the virtue signaling academic left wing has to be due to " desire for personal gain, status and power" within the crazy extreme left wing party ranks. Not to mention some extra pay from certain NGO's who promote these agendas?

Academia is largely about making a name for oneself as an academic. Tenure is achieved, in part, by being cited in articles and books. The problem is there are a lot of publications that no one reads, so being published isn't necessarily enough. Hence, there is a certain logic in making outrageous left-wing statements in the academic environment.
This is a desperate attempt for attention and nothing more.
“I mean, if you’re a white person who says they’re engaged in dismantling white supremacy but…you’re forming a white family [and] reproducing white children that ‘you want the best for’ - how is that helping [and] not part of the problem?”
Wow. So, white parents having white children is "part of the problem?"
Tenure needs to be abolished. The above is a very good reason why. /SMH
Never underestimate the role these professors have in inflaming white people.
Nazi Germany came about because the narrative of the country turned to blaming a particular group of people for all of society's ills. Today's "White Supremacy" is 1930's "Jewish question".
Who has all the money!? WHITE PEOPLE! Who has all the power?! WHITE PEOPLE! Who is keeping us down?! WHITE PEOPLE.
Exactly correct, and I've been warning about that. Repeatedly. Many still refuse to recognize the parallels.
Quote:
Everyone likes to think the Muslims are the next likely target, but never forget Hitler didn't have a problem with the Jewish RELIGION (he didn't mind other religions... he thought Muslims were great, btw). It was the focus of hatred and scapegoating of the Jewish ETHNICITY and PEOPLE as the source of all of Germany's ills and as a group of people who benefitted economically at the expense of the rest of Germans. The Jews can't help being Jewish ethnicity (compare to other types of religion or immigration status, which IS controllable). White people cannot help being white people.
If ONLY the Jews (white people) would disappear, Germany (and the west) would solve its problems. POC will be liberated once white people are gone.
This is what these professors are sowing in their classrooms with their tax payer funded "social research" theories. When it comes down to it, these professors are 10X as effective as Richard Spencer or the KKK at moving moderate whites into self-preservation mode.
