Elements of the left and their allies in the media are constantly driving this point home: White people are bad and so is the culture that they have created. Everything we value as a society is bad and, more than that, little more than an ex post facto justification for the subjugation of non-whites. Western culture is white culture, and all things white are bad.
But as with everything else which these elements of the left and their allies in the media push, this is simply false. While the overlap between white people – that is, people of European descent and some Christian populations in the Caucasus – and Western culture is undeniable, it is likewise undeniable that Western culture is no longer the exclusive domain of whites. What we can call, without the slightest bit of stretching the truth, Western culture is present not just in Western Europe, North America and Australia, but also in former British colonies such as Israel, Singapore and Hong Kong.
What’s more, a country simply being part of Europe does not make it “Western” in any meaningful sense. While there is a certain Western cultural continuum based around Christianity that extends from Lisbon to Vladivostok, it would be overly simplistic (and indeed, a bit demeaning) to label the post-Soviet countries as “Western.” They have a similar set of cultural values rooted in Christianity, however, even the introduction of democracy has not made many post-Soviet and post-colonial nations more liberal in the true sense of the word – open markets, an emphasis on free speech, strong private property rights, an independent, impartial judiciary, and the primacy of the individual over that of the group.

But the West also produced Leftism, so there’s something askew.
Western culture is only good to people that value things like freedom, rule of law, education, stable food supply, electricity, clean water, decent health care, functioning infrastructure, etc. If you’re the type that doesn’t care about those things and are happy living in a tar paper shack while cooking rats on a stick then the rest of the world is your oyster.

I’d say calling our culture ‘superior’ is unnecessarily egotistical. Use your list to describe our culture:
The western culture is one that embraces freedom, rule of law, education, stable food supply, electricity, clean water, decent health care, functioning infrastructure.
Other cultures can be evaluated by comparing them with that list.
Where they have black superiority they have great things going for them: Ebola, HIV/AIDS, Murder of White Farmers feeding them and they then turning their nations into food desert once the White Devils are forced out. And that’s just scratching the surface!-)
Well what do you expect! As germany and italy learned from their Yuge and Giant brothers China and Russia!
cute.
Look up the Magna Carta and patent law.
These were the building blocks of the Industrial revolution.
The cornerstone, the Magna Carta is the basis British common law... which is what is shared by the majority of the free industrialized west... but mainly the majority of the G7 nations.
It used to be the global trading currency was pound sterling, amongst the developed nations, until the US of A displace Great Britain as the hub of civilization.
Go look at the Charter of Maryland, it’s just the Magna Carta with the cover page replaces with Charter of Maryland.... so our root heritage is deploy intertwined with the Christian heritage that created the Magna Carta.
AND yes, Canada and the US had a huge influent by French law, but the British common law is what explains the Hong Kong phenomena, the Indian phenomena... that is one reason those peoples can more readily assimilate with Americans and western cultures..
Patent law is what gave the WORLD the VAST MAJORITY inventions.
No one else on the planet did this, not the Russians, not the Indians, not the Chinese, not the world of Islam, and not the africans. South Americas? Were messed up by the Roman Catholics who had their own ideas.
What you are witnessing is an advanced culture which evolved out Britsh Christianity and their philosophical thought at the height of the crusades.
Islam who has the monopoly on poverty, illiteracy and dysfunctional short governments is still suppressed by the great pedophile’s (mohammet’s) philosophies. This is the majority of the “UN”. These are the guys who are sponsoring the raids on wester culture today.
Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west.
He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could. Obama was both a marxist and a muslim... and a lying radical at that.
You can readily see his alignment with the UN and UN nations.
Show your cultural superiority by voting, every one of you, without letting anything get in your way. Vote!

“Look up the Magna Carta and patent law.”
Thanks for the informative reply.
Interesting observation about Patent Law. People that honor a patent are displaying civilized behavior.
A politically incorrect composition but very interesting and containing considerable truth. Here’s the link again for others that might want to read through it:
“Are White Men Gods?”
Read the article again. Hilarious! As Rush says, good humor always contains truth.

I agree with you there. Confining yourself to their lexicon limits the scope of your argument within their predefined boundaries.
