White people are the black sheep of the world.

It's because a bunch of white people got together and decided to be nazis about everything ever


Maybe
But why they not overcome those feelings that happened way back in the day & build the society instead of demolition it?

The politically correct answer is that whites messed up the world.

The real answer, however, is of course not


Or more accurately, we weren't the sole culprits.


Yeah I can agree with that. People are acting like conquering territories and enslaving people is a unique white person property. Both those things existed before whites came to power. Historically speaking, whites are relative newcomers to global positions of power.


Yes and no. We can now count back centuries worth of conquest instead of just decades, so we're no longer the rookies in the conflict, but there are cultures and races that were sweeping all before them while we were still defecating in our drinking water.


A few centuries is relatively new on the historical timeline. Other cultures were enslaving people and were more technologically advanced than Europeans for a long time, though I would say that the "defecating in our drinking water" comment was slightly unnecessary.


None of these really answer the question just tiptoeing around it.
Why are the countries that once long ago were ran by white folks who gave it back to the natives of that land for them to run & control unable to take care of their own people? Are they stupid, selfish, greedy, power hungry governments that can't pick themselves up on their own?


Genetics has a big part to do with it. It took centuries for Europeans (and Asians for that matter) to evolve from tribal barbarians to something resembling civilization. To expect Africa to make the change any faster is a pipe dream. The Middle East, on the other hand, has been actively devolving from its past glories thanks to inbreeding through cousin marriages and the like, which started right after the Muslim conquests of the area. There's a reason why the Muslim golden age fizzled out, and hasn't returned since.

"White people" didn't do anything, so no.

Yes they did, Brett, yes they did!


No more than any people of a certain skin color are all the same or part of the same group. xp

arrow White people ******** everything up pretty much. Non-whites could have done better without them and their need to 'modernize' and 'Christianize' them.
Biologically "races" don't exist. The only race is the human race and you share 99% of your DNA with your brethren in the next post.

If you hold that view that Europeans messed places up (like Africa) do you also hold the view that Islam messed up Africa 1000 years before Europeans arrived in the form of the slave trade and conquest?

Well.

I am white.

So that makes no sense.

And "aliterate" isn't a word. If you were going for some kind of wordplay then you should have known it doesn't work in text.

According to the dictionary it is a person who is able to read but rarely chooses to do so as in aliteracy. I was going for the feel of illiterate, but that was a good setup

On a slightly different topic, I'd like to add there is no such thing as the "white race".
