I didn’t even read the whole article. The key phrase at the beginning was’western culture’. What does that mean? Skin color has somthing to do with it. It can’t document this, but Savage said 93% of everything ever invented was invented by a light skin color.
You should read the whole article. I don’t see that it has anything to do with skin color.
Increase your browser’s font size; the “key phrase” was “western civilization”, not “western culture”. Western civilization generally believes in individual freedoms and rights, capitalism, life, liberty, and the pursuit, etc. Skin color has nothing to do with it. Re-read that last line, and keep adjusting the font size until you get it.
Y' been here a month.
Your previous posts are not out to lunch...mebbe a little too sunshiney??
So, you're either a patient troll, or your Delphi-ed engrams are kicking into "kill the messenger" phase: I'm guessing you're still in college...or a very recent graduate.
Assuming the latter...benefit of doubt.....welcome; and please continue in deprogramming mode: it surely sucks having your responses to things dictated by others.
And one such Pavlovian trigger is obviously showing itself when you read "western culture". Whatever weighted, negatively charged emotional response your having...."gosh, racist!" ......grab the nearest water pipe and discharge that virus to ground.
Simply put, Western Culture is that which defines a person as sovereign of themselves...allowing one's self to be governed by consent....not coercion. No groupthink. No caste. No servitude based upon birth. (we're talking ideals, here....don't go all boinky again) The belief in free ideas, markets...the superior plan of the 'unseen hand'...the benefit of 'natural aristocracy'....etc.
It has nothing whatever to do with your programmed response. Shake it, man!
Sorry, that’s totally false.
The Chinese, Arabs and Hindus (for example) have all made numerous, highly significant advances, discoveries and inventions. Some of the most fundamental inventions necessary for civilization itself were made in Egypt (Africa) and the Middle East (semites.) One of the most significant inventions of human history comes out of Africa: human language.
Even were “whites” (a sociocultural concept, not a scientific one) somehow “superior,” that “fact” would be totally irrelevant. Why? Because the fact that some individuals are smarter and/or more talented than others has no bearing on the fact that all individuals have equal rights, and deserve equal status as human beings. And if that’s true of individuals, it’s also true of “races.”
Western Culture is NOT related to the color of skin. It is a philosophy and state of mind. You can be black, brown yellow, red or white and subscribe to “Western Culture” and nobody would blink an eye.
Saying that western culture is a racist creation is usually parroted by the diversity crowd.
That said, it can be argued that a huge percent of things that have been invented WERE invented by western culture. I don’t know what percent, but certainly a large majority.
You're getting thumped for a reason; your post is not very clear. I don't know what you are trying to say but it comes out bigoted. And, quoting Savage will get you flamed every time.
I don't necessarily disagree with you I just really don't know what you are saying.
I suspect the key to understanding this in that 7% of everything invented that was NOT invented by someone of light skin. You'll find a common Judeo-Christian culture, work ethic and value system is prevalent in THAT 7%
So, it's not necessarily a race based thing... although you can make it that with these statistics.
It IS however a cultural thing and the culture that used to thrive (and likely still will) is the one most "light skinned" people of the U.S. and Europe were raised under (even if many no longer espouse those values)
IMHO of course

I see you are new here. You are either on a mission from someone else, or you have no understanding of that which you speak to.
Sometimes no opinion is better than chiming in with BS.
The American dream began dying when President Roosevelt started the U.S. on the road to socialism. Its probably too late to stop.
Sometimes I believe I’m the only one on the planet who thinks this way.
