"Then he claims that white men invented everything."

He claimed no such thing. I havent read the book, but did he neglect Confucius, Al-Gebra, etc.

" Well, yeah, because nobody else was allowed to."

Well, that's specious. Fact is *MOST* people *PERIOD* in history havent had the oppotunity to scientists, inventors, artists, etc. MOST PEOPLE - MEN AND WOMEN - WERE PEASANTS!

But the Europeans civilizations of course did nothing at all to prevent Arab civilizations, India, China, African societies, or Mayans from doing their thing. Curiously, while non-European cultures had many advances, from about 1400 on Europe was way out in front of the rest of civilization.

It seems strange to "blame" Murray for reporting THE TRUTH; it's like blaming a historian for the fact that Atilla the Hun sacked Rome, as if reporting on it means approval. I suspect that we have been so propogandized that it was a 'bad thing' that white males dominate, that we TAKE OFFENSE AT HEARING THE TRUTH about the achievements of dead white european males. Yet the truth is civilization is built on the achievements of a tiny number (relative to total population) of such men. This is imho the real lesson of the ugly screed posted at the top of this thread. She cant handle certain truths.
