depends on which "whiteman" -- if one takes that as a blanket for all Caucasians then the first Caucasians that were civilised were the Semitic Akkadians who learnt civilisation from the Sumerians in 2500 BC. If one restricts it to Europeans then the Minoans around 1700 BC but individual European groups were late to civilisation: first the Greeks, then the Italics, then the Celts, then the Germanics including Vikings (around 600 to 900 AD) then the Slavs (800 to 1000 AD) and finally the Baltics (around 1400 AD)

In contrast among Africans there is also a wide distribution -- the Ethiopians and Nubian people have been civilised since at leave 1700 BC or earlier -- earlier than European "whites". The West African empires and societies of GhanaEmpire, Songhai Empire etc. in the period 800 AD to 1400 AD did have organized agriculture and taxation

See, the interesting thing I have witnessed in Africa is the racist counter culture amongst the illiterates. If someone has learned english , may will shun the kid, and or pick on him too for being “white”.

I would speculate that it is racism being practiced by the illiterate kids here too, for not wanting to participate nor fall into the system.... thus they run into problems getting educated.
