If you are a white student in college, you doubtless hear daily that white people are evil, the principal cause of everything wrong with the world. Whiteness is bad, white people are bad. We are to blame for everything.
If you believe this, you are being gamed. What you are being told is nonsense. If you have the intelligence and self-respect to think for yourself, ask:
“What have other races and ethnic groups accomplished in the world compared to what we white people have?”
This question will be shocking to you because you have been carefully programmed not to think such things. But ask. I think you will find that the groups who complain the most have accomplished the least. Check for yourself.
A white man’s stick hut. We began building these things in 1137.
Look around you. Can you find anything with a moving part that was not invented by whites? Anything electronic? Cars, telephones, computers, aircraft, antibiotics, on and on–all sprang from the minds of white people. You are not supposed to say such things, and could be run out of a university for it–but ask yourself, if you have the courage: Is it true? Do not think that because things are commonplace or easy to use that they are not products of fields of extraordinary difficulty.
The Hubble Space Telescope. Twenty-five hundred years of phenomenally complex math, physics, electronics, optics, and chemistry went into the Hubble. It is entirely a white man’s show. Nobody else has come close. Your professors will not want you to think this. They will not want you to think. But you have a mind. Use it.
Look around your university. Who do you see taking the hard subjects–math, chemistry, physics, engineering, philosophy, computer science? Whites and Asians…right? Are they the kind of people who complain constantly about White Privilege? You may notice a pattern here: Those who can, do. The rest bitch and moan.
How about your own classes? You are not blind. If you think for yourself, you can see who the smart ones are, and who are those getting a free ride. Usually, a free ride at your expense. Your professors will not want you to notice this either. The question is whether you have been so profoundly brainwashed that you cannot see the obvious.
Being very young, you will probably have little idea of the vast body of knowledge, won over millenia, behind all the things you take for granted. At your age, I didn’t either. It takes years to get a handle on things. It will be harder for you because your universities will discourage you from looking around you. But glance at the very partial list below (I paste from an ancient column of mine) to get an idea of what the white race has done over the centuries. You will never have heard of many of these things. And that is curious. While your nose is being rubbed into the virtues, often real, sometimes imagined, of other groups, your own race is seldom motioned except to revile it.
Euclidean geometry. Parabolic geometry. Hyperbolic geometry. Projective geometry. Differential geometry. Calculus: Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration. Physical chemistry. Organic chemistry. Biochemistry. Classical mechanics. The indeterminacy principle. The wave equation. The Parthenon. The Anabasis. Air conditioning. Number theory. Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture. Information theory. Entropy. Enthalpy. Every symphony ever written. Pierre Auguste Renoir. The twelve-tone scale. The mathematics behind it, twelfth root of two and all that. S-p hybrid bonding orbitals. The Bohr-Sommerfeld atom. The purine-pyrimidine structure of the DNA ladder. Single-sideband radio. All other radio. Dentistry. The internal-combustion engine. Turbojets. Turbofans. Doppler beam-sharpening. Penicillin. Airplanes. Surgery. The mammogram. The Pill. The condom. Polio vaccine. The integrated circuit. The computer. Football. Computational fluid dynamics. Tensors. The Constitution. Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Homer, Hesiod. Glass. Rubber. Nylon. Skyscrapers. The piano. The harpsichord. Elvis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. (OK, that’s nerve gas, and maybe we didn’t really need it.) Silicone. The automobile. Really weird stuff, like clathrates, Buckyballs, and rotaxanes. The Bible. Bug spray. Diffie-Hellman, public-key cryptography, and RSA. Et cetera at great length.
If you talk about these things on campus, you will be called a “white supremacist.” This is silly. But calling you a racist is an effective way of making you shut up. Do you want to be supreme over anyone? I do not. Yet other races are proud of their achievements. Why should you not be? Ask where they would be without electricity, sterile water, telephones and–well, just about everything.
You hear from your professors that white people were guilty of colonization, slavery, and oppression. This is true. What your professors will not point out is that such behavior was, and is, universal. Human beings are a sorry species, given to murder, torture, genocide, thievery, looting, conquest, and slavery. This has been, and is, true of Africans, American Indians, Latin Americans, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Japanese, Chinese, and Europeans.
The Larrge Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator at CERN, in Switzerland, a massive instrument for research in subatomic physics. It is one of the greatest and most challenging projects of humanity. The Japanese could do this if they wanted to badly enough and soon, perhaps, the Chinese. They didn’t. The technology is a white man’s show, starting from Athens 2500 years ago. Are you sure you should be ashamed of this?
You might reasonably be proud of these things. Any other race would be. Your people invented virtually the entire modern world. But that is not too important. The important thing is understanding that intellectual advance comes from some groups and not others. This may not seem fair, and you are not supposed to notice it, much less talk about it. Yet it is obvious. You might prefer that it not be true, but it is true.
Think of the above as a white man’s cave paintings.
The current hostility on campus to white people is stupid. The human race faces many serious problems. Trying to cripple the group most likely to solve them is good neither for you, the United States, nor the world. We need a cure for cancer. For reasons involving science that you have probably not heard of, we are getting close. If I were cancer these days, I believe I would go into hiding.
When some team pulls the cancer rabbit out of the hat, it will very likely be a team of white people. The second best guess, and an increasingly good bet, is the Chinese. Third? Japanese or Koreans, but his is not likely. After them, nobody is in the running.
Recognizing the phenomenal achievements of your own race is no reason for arrogance. Arrogance usually betrays inner doubt. The successful do not need it. No, success does not justify you in looking down on others. It does suggest that you need not allow yourself to be scorned. You, as a member of way-and-gone the most successful and creative race and culture the planet has seen, should not put up with it. Don’t brag about our achievements. But know of them.
As a man of appalling age, I have lived in Thailand, Taiwan, Mexico, Vietnam, and Cambodia, traveled in a great many other countries, and both like and respect their peoples. They are not stupid. May they flourish. And yet for whatever reason–the reasons are not clear–they have not approached the accomplishments of the whiter race. There you have it.
It is chiefly in the United States that those who can’t, haven’t, and aren’t likely to, constantly attack those who can and have. Note that while they rail and fume and grouse, they depend utterly on a world created by the people about whom they rail and grouse. To them you might reasonably say, “Come back and talk to me when you have done something worth talking about.” A great silence would follow.
By the way, she was an American of Chinese ancestry. Name: Angela Zhang.
Ooops, my bad.
Those “high iron” Indians being fearless working the heights amazes me.
OK, let’s get to brass tacks.
Cultures generally fall into one of two categories: guilt based or “honor” based. (The quotes are because they often have no honor, but rather concern themselves with the perception of honor. That’s why they will kill their own kids just to protect the perception of their “honor.”)
Guilt based cultures facilitate owning up for your wrongs, creating things, and being good to other people.
Honor based cultures facilitate taking down anyone who “disrespects” you. Actually creating something is not valued.
The US has (or had) a unique combination of both, with more of the guilt based part. That’s part of why in just over 200 years we became the dominant power in the world, won two World Wars, etc.
Me too. I’ve known a few. They simply seem to lack the “fear gene.”
It must be something to be that fearless.
My dad worked around them some in all his construction years. They walked around on those girders like it was nothing.
Good piece, but in need of editing for numerous spelling and grammatical errors.
One I knew did not even bother with a safety strap. Got him in trouble.
Had a video of him literally jumping from girder to girder several hundred feet above the ground. I asked, “How can you do that?!” His answer: It’s nothing.
I’d be terrified just being up there. And I’m not scared of heights (much).
Why can’t these rabble-rousers get it through their collective heads that NOBODY chooses what race or gender they are born with!?
We need to take a page of the leftist’ game book and give them a taste of their own medicine with this demand: STOP (WHITE) CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!! From now on, only whites can use electricity (Tesla, Edison) own and drive cars (Karl Benz, Nikolaus Otto, Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Henry Ford), use telephone (Alexander Graham Bell), listen to radio (Marconi, Tesla), watch TV (Philo Farnsworth), use cellphone (Martin Cooper) ... We can go on and on and on. Demand that the races only use the devices that race invented. So the Chinese get to use gun powder, but whites can use dynamite (Nobel). Let’s see how far the non-white leftist can get if they have to forego “appropriating” “white” culture. I can’t wait to hear them choking on their stupid “cultural appropriation” “white privilege” nonesense.
> Without Native Americans, most of them would not exist.
Weird, then, how the rest of the world manages to build skyscrapers without having any Native Americans at all.
Perhaps your PC programming goes deeper than you thought.
And learned self-delusion and denial to the point they consider welfare handouts as status and entitlements.
Most people aren’t afraid of heights, it’s falling and the sudden stop at the end of the fall.
Hence the whole “self-esteem” racket.
I’m only interested in the real, the original, the official Kewpie Doll...so I’m not going to answer.
Bergoglio?
Cash me ousside.
Good non-answer answer! LOL!
Good non-answer answer! LOL!
Dear young White college freshman,
White, Christian, heterosexual men have pretty much invented >90% of the things you use every day.
You’re welcome.
What has everyone else contributed?
Well, in a strictly comparable spirit, I’d like to introduce you to my friend Jacque Merde, whom I’m certain you have never met.
