Nobody thinks skin color makes people a certain way other than climate related issues tolerance maybe
But at least to me observing humanity there is no question certain groups c labeled however you like as race or ethnicity etc perform better than others
And no race other than the white one is judged for winning and expected to fall on its sword so either everyone else can catch up which they won’t or to atone for succeeding in the first place
I don’t know why whites beat everyone else on the civilization race
Climate
Geography
Neanderthal or other hominids dna
Christianity no question that helped
Doesn’t mean we don’t need to be nice
But now we have at least 25% of our white population in the west that hates itself and is willing to destroy itself
The left knows supplanting whites is the only way to retain power
And the neocons wanted cheap labor
There are some possibilities
We have fewer Muslims and our Latino males show some promise but assimilation is very low
All this has happened in an eye blink of human history and it’s unprecedented to me despite the major civilizations always fail anyhow argument
Culture or race
They are related
Cultures are created by people and generalizing that certain defined peoples have created certain cultures that outperform one another isn’t without substance
Of course the woke will claim Hunter gatherer nose bone culture is more accomplished that moon landing white culture anyhow
Just because it is lol

Is that heredity or environment? I say a big problem black people face is because of their ‘crab bucket mentality’, get rid of that, and they might progress.
The rise of the West, beginning roughly in the late 15th century, was not a result of biological superiority, but rather a unique convergence of institutional, economic, and geopolitical factors:
Long before the Industrial Revolution, the Indian subcontinent was an economic powerhouse, responsible for roughly 25% of the world’s GDP in the 17th century. The Indus Valley Civilization (c. 3300–1300 BC) established one of the world’s first systems of urban planning, standardized weights, and sanitation. Later, Indian mathematicians developed the concept of zero and the decimal system—the foundational "software" that enabled modern Western mathematics and computing. These were not just scientific curiosities; they were the essential infrastructure of global commerce and logic.
For centuries, China was the undisputed center of technological innovation. By the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD), China had already mastered sophisticated metallurgy, invented movable type printing, and developed the magnetic compass and gunpowder. When Europeans were living in agrarian societies with limited literacy, the Chinese were utilizing advanced agricultural techniques, canal systems that moved massive amounts of trade, and a meritocratic bureaucracy that served as a model for governance. The idea that Europe has always been "ahead" is a perspective that only holds if you start the clock in the mid-18th century.
Civilizations succeed when they foster a culture of inquiry, maintain stable legal institutions, and participate in a competitive global market of ideas.
These are "software" problems, not "hardware" problems. Attributing the success of the West to a static genetic or climatic advantage ignores the historical reality that these achievements were the product of specific, replicable, and often fragile cultural and political structures—not an inevitable biological destiny. Focusing on "genes, genes, genes" is a way to bypass the hard reality that civilization is an ongoing, fragile achievement that must be maintained through values and institutions

—> you’re mixingup cause and effect —> it’s not that race dictates a culture’s capacity for achievement; it’s that specific environmental pressures and institutional frameworks—like the scientific traditions, property rights, and trade networks that fueled the Enlightenment—create the conditions for innovation.
Suggesting that certain races are inherently ‘better’ at civilization ignores the historical reality that power and technological leadership have always been fluid, shifting to whichever societies mastered the most efficient systems at the time. Reducing human history to a racial hierarchy misses the actual mechanics of why civilizations rise and fall.

For instance, native Americans didn’t have horses or guns but quickly adopted and adapted to them.
