I guess you didn't see the part where I acknowledge that those things do indeed happen just wanna keep railing your point apparently. Communication is a wonderful thing when it truly happens.

Germany created V2 rockets under the direction of Werner von Braun, who later came to the U.S. and developed rockets that took us to the moon.

The "cultures" of Latin America that were destroyed by the conquistadors were not exactly admirable. They were brutal, genocidal, and even cannibalistic.

The existence of nuclear weapons has prevented a third world war.

I don't need to talk about the negatives of Western Civilization.

Liberals and leftists do that job for me.

white privilege is simply getting the benefit of the doubt because of what you look like.
No, "white privilege" is getting the benefit of the doubt because whites on a per capita basis commit a lot less violent crime than blacks.

LOL.

If cops in San Diego wanted to pull over "people of color," they'd have to pull over half of the population!

Well, your guess would be wrong.

If I were to list the great scientists, philosophers, novelists, poets, playwrights, composers, painters, sculptors, mathematicians, etc., of Western Civilization, many would be Jews -- but the great majority would not be.

1. The post being discussed was not about which country some inventor was from, it was specifically about White people. Whether Werner von Braun was working for Germany or America is irrelevant; his race was White.

2. So the conquistadors decimated cultures in Central and South America...that's better?

3. Perhaps nuclear weapons have prevented a third world war. But now they may catch up with us if ISIS gets ahold of just one.

4. Yes, we do that job for you because someone has to tell the truth.

5. That final paragraph of yours -- sounds surprisingly like white supremacy to me.

Everything is always racism and privilege with you liberals. Black neighborhoods are significantly more dangerous and have higher crime rates. Hmmmmm...I wonder why?? Because they possibly commit more crimes?? So police patrol more aggressively and will pull people over for minor crimes to look for evidence of more major crimes and check them out. This is standard and accepted practice in policing that has nothing to do with race. It helps create a police presence.


"Greensboro police officials said most if not all of the racial disparities in their traffic enforcement stemmed from the fact that more African-Americans live in neighborhoods with higher crime, where officers patrol more aggressively. Pulling over drivers, they said, is a standard and effective form of proactive policing."

I would say arguably that BM get that treatment from women of other races in the USA much more than any other group of men including WM. They don't even have to be wealthy or the marrying-kind.

Ok. Then by your argument black men have black privelege. BTW, do you have any studies or data to back up your opinion?

Why so fixated on race, and seemingly only one?

Do you really believe there is a significant/substantial difference?

I'm not talking about Black neighborhoods. I'm talking about an interstate highway.

What you're describing is what's called DWB. It's wrong. It's immoral. And you're wrong.

Still, the findings drew criticism from advocacy groups and researchers, who said the commission's focus on the very end of the criminal-justice process ignored possible bias at earlier stages, such as when a person is arrested and charged, or enters into a plea deal with prosecutors.

Wide Racial Divide in Sentencing - WSJ




So the judicial branch under Obama is racist and covering up for its racist judges who sentence blacks to longer prison sentences than whites because they hate blacks and want to put them all in prison, and we know this to be true because "advocacy groups" have determined through careful analysis of the judge`s brain waves at the exact moment sentence is pronounced that no motivation except for undiluted foaming-at-the-mouth racist hate is even possible?

You responded to my post about Europeans.

And you were the first one to bring up Germany.

I see that you refuse to take responsibility for your own statements.

If you want to change the subject to whites in general, fine.

The great majority of inventions have been by whites. Don't like it? Too bad.

And by the way, why capitalize "whites" and "blacks"?

You seem to be obsessed with race.

It's certainly not worse.

One nuclear weapon is not going to destroy the world.

The most any terrorist group is likely to get is a dirty bomb, which would hardly be worse than 9/11.

I don't care what it sounds like. It's the truth. At least 90% of great philosophers, scientists, poets, novelists, playwrights, painters, sculptors, composers, inventors, etc., have been non-Jewish, non-hispanic, non-Muslim white males.

It is those white males who have been responsible for the creation of the most technologically advanced, most democratic, most free, and most progressive societies on earth.

Other groups have been at a disadvantage, and are just as capable as white males of contributing to civilization. But they won't do it by putting down whites and rejecting the civilization that has been created by whites.

I wouldn't bring any of this up if it weren't for the endless attacks on whites by the political left.
