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. |

I think freedom or relative freedom made these things possible. That is why western civilization managed to create and advance. Without freedom people are mired in poverty and their countries are dysfunctional. I guess it's how you determine freedom. Sure the world has gotten a lot better over the past few hundred years, well for most of us in the western world anyway. But You don't really think that's what they were doing when they sailed around the globe, i mean seriously you think they were bringing freedom? they were bringing colonization and they were bringing dictatorship rule in the form of the Monarchy. I'm not saying it was all bad, it obviously wasnt and a lot of people are probably better off because of the white mans intervention..but not all by a long shot. the majority of the worlds population lives below the poverty lines and most of these people are not white. They live in nations and places where the white man's companies are still taking advantage of their resources and not giving back. Africa has the richest mineral wealth in the world, but does the average African get anything from their inherited lands wealth? Not really, it still lines the pockets of white CEO on the over side of the globe. If you really think that they brought freedom and that made the world better, then i guess you think thats what America is doing right now in Iraq and Afghanistan, bringing freedom right?? BS, at least back in the day the Europeans were honest about that they were doing..hey we're hear we're stronger then you and will take your resources to make ourselves stronger. It used to be Spices now it's Oil, but still the same reason. |

When the climate condition changed some centuries ago, they moved to todays Europe which had more friendly conditions then as it was a bit warmer than today and sufficient to grow any food you need. The origin in Africa theory is BS as the white skin color is genetic recessive and you don't get white skin even after generations when living in areas with less UV light. |

Where 'civilisation' got going though, northern europe, we have had to adapt to a much more variable, wet, cold climate, with little natural food available, and that has made us much more inventive, resourceful, just to survive up here. Then we spread, to Australia. It's also why we are MUCH more vulnerable to SHTF events, imho. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1536421 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? China had Gun Powder & Paper LONG before anyone else.

We can think of new ways to warp and twist and combine the world around us into something we find useful or amusing. We are all apart of the sprawling genetic mass that is Earth, but we are not content to merely exist with what the bio mass produces. It is in our nature to change and re-order the bio mass to suit us and we are extremely good at it. There is no distinction between man-made and natural as man is natural. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2419235 Australia 10/01/2011 06:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ^ so that Large Hadron Collider which is currently creating mini black holes & producing elements & conditions that have not existed since the big bang, is just natures way of playing out the original scenario again...are we on the verge of creating another universe?? if so, it's natures way, maybe nature needed us to get to this stage just so another universe can be born. maybe it takes intelligence to create anything. maybe our gods are simply an intelligent species in another universe that simply went through the motions of existence and development til it got the same point. It questioned it's very beginning and set about creating experiments to understand that process and in doing so inadvertently created not only the same circumstances but an entire new big bang. Maybe it's in natures best interest to create thinking beings, not limited to their instincts. Or maybe we are just a genetic mistake destined to destroy itself. Either way it's all a natural process, now how do we define the word natural?? |

Whites this, Asian that, Arabs, Africans, Indians etc etc. Who is best? That is a rather silly question, times change you know. Which society is ascendent now will certainly decline and another will rise. I suppose the longest lasting are thew "best". Does that mean the Asians are "better" than Caucasians? Don't waste your life focusing on the things that separate us, better that which unites us, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!! Love |
