that's because blacks and other ethnicities were either living in backward countries or enslaved

you're ****ing joking, right...

between the bad grammar and the completely invalid statement, I'm not sure what to make of this post.

dont have time for this ******** I just graduated college yesterday as a black female so seeeeeeethe

he's saying that based off nothing, pretty ignorant of him

I didn't see anyone in here defending racism before you made your comment. And any opposing view is not automatically "defending racism". Calling someone out/calling people names is not part of any discussion. If you don' like someone's viewpoint, attack the viewpoint.

They were living in backward countries because they never pioneered scientifc revolution, enlightment and industrial revolution like Europeans did.

Europe pretty much responsible for every great sceintific discoveries or technological advancement that world has ever seen.

Congrats! Show these racist heauxs. No one can ever take that away from you.

Never? BYE. From what I see, you're trying to say that race is the sole factor of someone's ability and success which is not true at all. Also appears to me that this is a prime example of how Eurocentric and whitewashed our history has become in the US

You're really gonna sit here and act like you don't run into these articles defending racism and playing devil's advocate on the regular? nnn let me not today, I do not have the patience.

US is country that was created by Europeans(particularly English). Every adminstrative, scientific, technological and economic advancement ot the country were thanks to white anglo-saxon majority.

No, I actually don't defend racism on the regular, in fact I usually do the exact opposite.

Its an economic issue not a race issue. I am top 10% of my class at a top 5 business school. I have received top grades in my law school classes as well, as a JDMBA student. Why? Hmmm...because I was properly educated in my adolescent years.

Lots of white people HATE me because I have done and continue to do better than them academically. It's actually funny. These statements are only meant to discourage minorities to succeed.

It's sad how much ATRL has started to look like Stormfront over the years.

I'm not white but I still respect whites for their contributions to science and technology. We live in world created by white man

It cannot be denied.

Jared Diamond makes a pretty good case explaining this in "Guns, Germs & Steel". Geographical and environmental differences have a lot to do with why this is. It's not because Eurasians are smarter or genetically superior to others.

out of curisotity what is your ethnicity? it's true europeans are responsible for the industrial revolution, now good or bad you tell me, with climate change and environment destruction some might think it's not good...

but before them it was arabs, before them chinese and indians, egypt... it's cycical, not based on race but based on which countries are on top at that time... in a few years most of the discoveries will be made in China...

Open heart surgery nor the ****ing light bulb was worth inventing then, okay thanks for letting us know.

Still even to this day when there are several developed non-western countries such as Japan, Korea, China etc. majority of the revolutionary ideas and inventions are still made in the West.

World Wide Web, Mobile Phone, Google, Facebook, Notebook, Wi-fi, Bluetooth etc. Created by westerners.
