I have yet to figure how did whites become such a dominate power on this earth but yet they are the smallest group in this world.  It's very puzzling to me. I think as blacks we should be ashamed partly for letting this happen. We once ruled the world with an iron fist and all of sudden s**t feel down hill. |

I always get heat for saying this but western culture in my belief is the most productiveand innovative cultures in the world.......It has nothing to do with intelligence superiority but more cultural superiority....Theyalso have a good family structure unlike parts of Africa and Middle East where women had no rights and men could have as many wives as he wish. This can cause alot of childern to grow up dysfucnctionally and thus unproductive in the proceeding generation.....This is why they dominated the world as a minority...The same goes for the Jews...
Im sure someone will bring up something about " but they commited atrocites and slavery"...Another part of thier culture is that they either knowingly or unknowingly aremotivated by fear (watch the movie bowling for columbine)....This causes them to sometimes to do radical and irrational things. Thishas actually turned out to become a very great strength for them...
The good news for us is that cultures can change over time...The chinese have been studing the western culture for years now and improving upon it..They are now about to become the worlds superpower pending they dont piss anyone off....

Also the BIBLE and the Gun.
But much more, slavery made these people rich according to how they define richness.
Tribal people all around the world did not think like the whiteman. Why? Could it be that back then tribal people were fed and content, but the whiteman was hungry and warlike? Perhaps they were still learning how to survive in their cold climate lol! (See 'how the whiteman came about' thread).
Its not skill orany of their imaginary sense of superiority - that notion only came about by them as they became more and more arrogant and rich. Its got nothing to do with their culture either, again their 'culture' was contrived over the years, partly by taking over lands which did not and do notbelong to them.
If someone went into a peaceful family home and with violence took it over, would people consider that person successful?

money has got to be the most addictive sustance on the planet. everyone depends on it. most of us think about it all the time. right now, we're all probably doing something which has getting cash as the final goal. like jay-z said 'money cash hoes' but without the hoes.
slavery - cash. war - cash. taking over lands - cash. bible - cash for the church.
farming/hunting/stuff that we did before the rest got important - daytoday living.
seems like mammon got the better of us. white people got got first

I am not attacking your intelligence, but this is a dimwhitted statement. You should read up on the Egyptians and Nubians(Kushites). The first calender was madeway before there was an established state in Europe. They used precise math and engineering to build the pyramids and form the Nile into an S-turn for irrigation purposes. Heck, they even knew that the Earth wasnt even flat, whichColumbus didnt even figure out.Please dont say that the Egyptians werent black because the first invadors (Hyskos)came around 1600BC and alot more stuff was accomplished before that.Almost everything they did (religion,science,math and even the concept of democracy)was stolen by the Greeks from Africa, even Greek Mythology. Oh yea, the first universities popped up in Africa. This was all before slavery.

When the dark ages took place, people thought it happened to the whole world when it only happened to Europe. It happened because the Europeanscouldn't get into Africa due to the African-Arab alliance. Almost all of Eruope interests were in Africa. This leads up to another group you should read about called the Moores. They ruled Spain for7 CENTURIES!!!!!! during Europe dark ages.Theywere African(black)-Arab and taught the europeans how to preserve their food, proper methods for growing their food, and even proper methods for cooling and heating for the home. Beethovensteacher was a black Moore and his father hadMoorish blood.They also had the first all-water routetp Asia

As for your statement about the African family, (WHICH IS MY MAIN PURPOSE OF ATTACK!!!!!)you should do some research on the modern African familyBEFORE SLAVERY!!!!!There were women generals and women were actually respected, unlike the Europeans. The Europeans had their wives cooped up in the house just raising the kids. They even beat the wives when ever they felt like it. The Africans however, knew that the wife had an purpose and respected her because he had no reason to fear her. This is the reason why they had FEMALE GODS!!!!! What European group had women play a major rolein their religion, let alone their armies???? The European succeded for his drive of greed and cupidity. Keep in mind that the so called "western culture" didnt flurish untill THE SLAVE TRADE. So while Africans were being kept in shackles, the Europeansgrew and got their $$$. Its not because they had agood family structure which you claimed they had. Africa now is a result of theArabs influences in religion and christian influences in religion. As for the wives we all know that white people, even back then had multiple affairs. As i previously stated, women were second class citizens. Hell, talke a look at the Saleem witch trials.Atleast the African had to actually take care of their wives and were looked down on if they didnt. Take a look at Elijah Muhammed. The words b**tard, and illegitimate children came from Europe. Africa never put children in this light and knew that a child was a child and "It takes a whole village to raise a child"

I dont know if you call an upcoming WWIII good thing. Because of white ppls fears, they held everyone back in the past and might kill every one out in the future. Yes, its a strength now but keep in mind, that the world wouldhave been better off if the white man didnt decide to conquer 90% of the world due to his greed and fears. By doing this, he held back alot of goodpotential...Not just out ofblacks but other non-whites. Everywhere the white man has gone, he hasn't done any good. They never settled anywhere for humanitarian issues.

What aspect of western cluture have they been studying? Communism? If China gets their act right and put in an effective socialist system for their 3billion ppl... they can indeed become the new superpower. All they have to do is wait till the American dollar hits rock bottom, then focus on Europe. America owes China alot of debt, due to their processing of American crude materials then selling it back to America for a higher price.

My conclusion to all of this is that there was African culture before "Western European" culture. As you know the first civilations were in the Nile river valley. Even white scientists proved this. Our work and our influences had a major impact on the worldfrom 3000BC till when Jesus was born and the Romans came into the scene. Even whenAfrica was invaded by the Hykos, Persians, Assyrans, andGreeks it was still the number 1 spot.Thats three millenniums worth of art,sicence,math and religion which is the basis of Western Culture. Western cluture didnt flurish till the slave trade which was from mid 1400AD-present. Not even a millennium as of yet. Its all due to robbing ppl of their natural resources and other greed. Africans never had to do that.
I dont blame all my personal problems on white ppl, but the majority of the worlds problems (even theirs)....can be blamed on them.

Honestly I cant say I know too much about ancient african culture....Im am speaking of the current state of all the cultures today...You maybe correct that Africans did have and advanced civilization long time ago, but unfortunatley that has nothing to do with today....Western culture is currently the most productive (notice I didnt say the most advanced) culture in the world.The way they became this productivemay becontroversal, but as an anceint Chinese proverb says,"It dosent matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice".......

As for African families (and maybe an african can back me up on this) the male was able to have many wives and some form of poligamy was practiced....If this was true it must of had a bad effect on the children and proceeding generations....I actually may have been mistaken about women being treated badly in anceint African culture, I forgot to consider the many female queens of the past. But currently africa seems like its moved away from thatand are more like the arabs in treating women like second-class citizens...

White fear is a strengh, but I think it is equally one of thier weaknesses...Especially when it is on a micro-level. Whites are known for being scared to speak-up, they run for the burbs when non-whites move in at a level of 10%. White americans are the least traveled people in all of the industrialized world b/c they are afriad to leave and go toa "third world"....

Even though thier still offically "communist" .In no way shape or form does china still practice the type of Communism long ago..They found out that didn't work, and began to quietlycopy the U.S. and improve upon it...Bill Gates himself said that China practices a superior form of Capitalism than the United States because they simeontaneoulyhave been able to lift 300 million people out of poverty and create a business friendly environment at the same timein just under a decade..This along with stealingU.S. intellectual property iswhyChina may soon become a world power..Thier culture isbecoming more PRODUCTIVE than Europeans...Look at the U.S. auto industry,the U..S. is baffled howChina became so much more efficent. The japanese has almost always been more efficent although thier problem it that they were afraid to fully open up thier markets to the west...The moral of this story is cultures can change if wecan first except the fact that the current one isnt as productive asit should be...Itsnot copying if you can improve upon it..
