Why? becasue for better or, probably, worse they are mostly responsible for the world we see around us. Sure that's changing now as Asia starts to gather real power in the world. But for the past 600 years or so, white Europeans were mostly responsible spreading information and technology mainly through invasion and colonization. It was there time, but that time is coming to an abrupt end.

There is nothing racist to acknowledge this as fact, they simply spread around the globe imposing there will where ever they could, and that in turn made them a stronger force in control of most of the technological and industrial breakthroughs in that time period.

That's not to say White people invented all the stuff from the past few hundred years, we just happened to be in control of the societies where these breakthroughs took place. So of course the white person in power will take advantage and ownership of any new thing  that makes their lives easier or make them more wealthy.

If you go back before then you will see most technological breakthroughs taking place in the middle east or Asia, and it seems to be heading in that direction again.

Africans have never really been at the center of technological or social change. Sure Egypt is an exception, but you all have to admit Egypt was  never really ran by Africans.

This may sound a little racist but the way I look at, and the facts re. human migration also support the idea that Africans are the original people, all other races 'evolved' out of Africans. So it stands to reason to say that Africans themselves never really had to go through the changes and adaptions the rest of the population did as the exited out of Africa into new environments.

So the ones that remained behind literally have not had to physically evolve to new environments, therefore they have remained relatively the same as they were 250,000 years ago. Where as all over races have had to evolve and face new environmental challenges. This eventually gave the other races the advantage of being able to deal with change and progression. Africans are not stupid compared to the rest of the races, they simply have not evolved the same adaptive resources the rest of the population has because their genome has remained in the same environment it evolved in.

With all due respect;

do you believe that Alexander Fleming searched for Penicillin to “Rule the world”?

Or that Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen invented X-ray technology just to make money?

They must have something driving them, a vision of something better don’t you think?

With regards to Asia;

Do you know that the engine in the first Toyota Celica was so well copied from Alfa Romeo that many components like Pistons where interchangeable?

Asia is good at copying things (just ask all the Patent holders around the world that suffer cheap Chinese copying), but never come up with some ideas themselves.

Sorry, my thesis still stands.

All inventions worth having are made by white northern Europeans! :tounge:

[b]That's because there never were civil wars and/or foreign oppression in northern countries, instead they bring civil wars and oppression to other countries in the mean time make themselves (as a country) rich and are able to invest in scientific and educational development.[/b]

You can look at whatever you like; everything is invented by white European people or their descendants.

From house designs over steam engines, electricity, rail ways, cars, planes.. you name it.

All inventions are made by “White” Europeans, why?

A student from a local university just came back from trip to Africa.

He worked on a “Clean Water” project as volunteer.

When I ask him what they did there, he said we were digging water wells with a spade.

So we have to send our kids to Africa so they can dig holes into the ground because the “Locals” can’t be bothered?
