Well that's what happens when superior thought meets inferior thought. There's no denying that the White Man is responsible for the March of Civlization. You can't argue the opposite and be believable.

I don't understand the inferior mind in this matter. When I read that Asians perform better than Whites on IQ tests and SAT tests, I don't care. I don't suddenly become enveloped with a feeling of inferiority. That is a kind of insecurity that is most, most distasteful to me.

What happened to just facing the truth? Who knows why the White Race was so technologically superior? Could it be due to geographic determinism? Probably. When your freezing your ass off in some cold climate, you probably start to envision how to make life more comfortable, and little advances lead to bigger ones. Contrast that with living in a hot and deblitating climate that produces nothing but indolence, and maybe even rage.

Who knows why the White Man understood from early on the need for law and contract and punishment by death for evil deeds. The Red Man knew some, the Black Man some, the Yellow Man quite a bit I think, but it took the White Man to organize such beliefs in a way that spread furiously across the globe, and lifted Man up.

The White Man is the King of Civilization, no matter what anybody says. And as a consequence the White Man should be proud but not become complacent, and all other races should strive to emulate if they desire real, lasting, fully merited achievement.

Um, the arabs kept the candle lit on civilization for 1000 years while we got caught up in repressive fundamentalism (sounds familiar, doesn't it?). While there is no denying that different races tend to excel in different physical and intellectual areas, the idea that race has played the most important role in the defelopment of civilization ignores that fact that civilization is not a finite achievement. It is an ongoing story. White Europe has taken a lead role in civilizing the world because it has been able to build on successive cultural achievements, and because of geographical luck. If Spain had waited 100 years to send a Columbus, the New World might very easily have been discoved by an Asian empire, and today's world would be a very different place.
