I dare say that, if there were no white people, NONE of the following would have existed. Ever. Or it might have taken another 5,000 to 10,000 years to discover and perfect.
This is a highly condensed summary of WHITE people achievements the past 2,500 years. It is probably 0.01% of the overall contributions of tens of millions of WHITE people laboring incessantly to improve human life.
Without WHITE people, everybody today would be living in caves, wearing animal skins, banging on hollowed out tree trunks, eating bugs and roots, and cooking meat on sticks.
Where is the brave soul in academia or government who will proudly stand up and proclaim this?
