Tell that to the whites in the former Rhodesia.

Or just look at existing societies such as all the countries in Africa or the middle east. Is this what anti-white people want?

I really don't understand the anti-white sentiment. The only way it makes sense is if people are just jealous and bitter, which appears to be the case.
And let me guess, your 4th great grandmother was a Cherokee princess, right?

My white ancestors/immediate family fought Nazis, built tanks and automobiles, saved lives and other neat things. I should be allowed to have some level of pride with who I am and where I came from without being called a racist or a bigot by the racist, bigoted do-nothing leftist nazis.

In the long run we are all dead.

There is that, but there are also lots of white people who use anti-white rhetoric to gain moral status points and position themselves as morally superior to other whites, or simply as a way to feel good about themselves despite their various human shortcomings.

Agreed-- even our D of I and Constitution did not consider those of color and women as being equals. You also were less than equal, even if white male and you did not own property,

If it wasn't for the innovation of whites (and also East Asia such as Japan) the world would still be stuck in the stone age in the case of Africa, or little further than the bronze age in other still developing parts of the world. White nations also tend to be the most welcoming to immigrants, contrary to how "terrible" some people on the left today think our treatment is of them.

You can't forget tho, that during the roughly 800-1000 years for the dark ages(fall of Rome to Age of Exploration), the most dominant educational, scientific, advanced areas, were in the Middle East.


Also don't forget the Moguls in the Indiam subcontinent or how advanced Marco Polo saw the Chinese as being comparted to the Venetians.


Why they didn't continue to achieve don't know. If they had continued to outpace the west, these areas would be on the top of the heap.


Maybe history suggests that all great civilizations collapse?
