For example.Maybe its just some races are brighter at developing and keeping a society going than others.Oh and some Arab countries are quite nice as well. Iran for instance.
Better Societies?.....

Where imperialism, racism, sexism, assimilation, and genocide would be rolled into one and called patriotism in White societies...

You are a mad mad person aren't you. Is racism holding you back from being the next president? Oh I do wonder...all this imaginary racism holding blacks and latinos back how is it we have a mixed president? Obviously didn't hold him back to much.Maybe its because he worked hard for what he wanted? I hate the man with a passion but he obviously worked hard to get where he wanted to be.

It basically states that Europeans were "blessed" with geography, domesticatible animals, etc.
Basically what our ancestors did was all a matter of "chance".

My people went through the ice age, they weren't in some tropical region with fruit hanging from the trees year round. Europeans are a race of planners, those who couldn't plan died off. That's why Europeans are the wealthiest, most accomplished people ever to walk this earth.

I hear you on that.

It also wouldn't hurt to be familiar with college level statistics with that one.

Stop it... You mean to tell me about the Black Asians like Cambodians, South Vietnamese, South Koreans don't go through a caste system. Or maybe that Jews joined into white culture and took over a religion and land from the Black Hebrews and Pakistanians, respectively... Catch up with the info.

Of course I'm upset, not mad. I won't go into the life of Barry for you, but if you say so. Anyways I realized not to long ago how racist this country really is from east to west, north to south. How can a country built on racism change their tradition in just 50 years? I'll be the brave one and says it hasn't.

Is this why so many blacks play sports and can you tell me are those athletes poor??? Blacks in music....Beyonce and JayZ doing very well and how about Oprah richest WOMAN not richest Black Woman alive.

Then we have millionaire Vick and just what did he show young boys..... you do know dog fighting has raised 10 fold since he showed the world his millions wasn't enough that he could abuse innocent dogs also.

Give me a break blacks have an advantage they just need to see to they do it for their selves. I don't believe Oprah or Bill Cosby cried for government and society to see them different than the rest.

Oppression you really need to get some new friends that think more postive about life.
