Not to put too fine a point on it, but if I “suffer” from anything, I suffer from White PRIDE.
Considering all the positive inventions, discoveries and scientific, religious, and societal achievements, almost all were created by white people.
While driving the other day, my son and I went over a mental list of them (you can almost tell what we were driving by as we came up with these items):
Cars
Roads
Tires
Gasoline
Petroleum drilling
Electricity
Light bulbs
Telephones
TV
Video games
Xbox One (ok, my son is really into video games)
Fallout 4
Radio (now getting him back on track about exceptional inventions...)
Computers
Electronics
Knowledge of microbes in human health
Antibiotics
Heart surgery
Brain surgery (Ok, shout out to Dr. Ben Carson)
Surgery
Hospitals
Aspirin
Morphine
Tractors
Iron plow boards
McCormick reaper
Steam engine
Assembly line
The list is virtually endless...
To be fair, there are quite a few major positive contributions attributable to blacks.
Mostly cultural, some scientific....but nothing lately.
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, I am not a racist because I created this list, anymore than the stuff we see during February (Black History Month) or a thousand other articles and public service announcements on TV about the achievements of Blacks, women, Native Americans et al.
We see such things all the time, but I never brag. That’s because all of the inventions on my list were NOT made by me. So WHAT if the people who did so had/have the same skin color as me? Is it MY achievement? No. It is HUMANITY’S achievement.
And all and any of these done by whites, blacks, women, etc., should not cause pride nor shame for anybody!!!!
There is no way any person in this country should feel GUILTY about slavery. Why? Because the slave owners are dead. Not ONE of us alive had a thing to do with slavery.
The whole thing is preposterous when you think about it; blaming a whole RACE of people for something. It’s as bad as saying a whole RACE deserve slavery. Think about it!
