Would we have wiped out the native americans of USA and made slaves of whites ?
Would there been black racism and black privilege ?
It could have happen but unlikely
It could have happened : If you have guns and ocean ships 1st, you can use that to your advantage to oppress people who look different from you. That leads to racism.
But unlikely : China was able to do what Europe did but did not. Europe didn't suceed China technologically till the 1700s. The Europeans based there expansion on Chinese inventions: gunpowder, the compass, paper and printing.
Even though advances n technology have spread unevenly It’s rare for this to lead to genocide.
The Romans were powerful and could have practised genocide but did not.
The Ancient Egyptians were powerful could have practised genocide but did not
The Greeks were powerful and could have practised genocide but did not
Genocide doesn’t require a technological edge. In Rwanda, it was carried out with machetes. Genocide is based on dehumanizing others.
So while black people might have wiped out the natives of USA, it’s unlikely. When Columbus 1st got to the Caribbean the people there already knew about blacks : They had traded with us and armed with iron weapons, blacks could have made short work of the people there if we wanted to.
White Americans and Brits are at the extreme end of human history. Defeating your enemy and taking over their country is common. Wiping them out and taking their land is not. For Whites that does not come from their guns and bombs but from their thinking.

Your point there?
Greeks and Romans are white. So you said not all whites did what you say.
The REAL killers of Blacks in the US and Africa now are other Blacks, not white people.
Japanese were real nasty against other Asian people in WW 2.
Statistics say that if all people became really poor, the same people would become rich again. And the same people would come into power again.
Look at the South. We were brought to poverty and many lost their fortunes during the Civil War. Have you ever heard of Lowe's, Walmart, Tyson Foods, etc. Are there statistics as to how many millionaires are in each state. It is not how much money you make; it is what you do with what you make.
So, the next question is, if the blacks had enslaved the whites and then spent billions and billions of dollars in propping up their continent for subsequent generations only to find that the whites were incapable of civilized society and reverted back to their basest of instincts by hacking each other to pieces with machetes, what would history have been like?
Further, once the blacks had imported the whites as slaves and then were stuck with them and spent billions upon billions of dollars in social programs to give them a hand up only to find out that what they really wanted was a hand out, what would history have been like?

I think you have to reference David Duke's work, otherwise he might get you on copyright laws
