When discussing roots of white supremacy, black oppression in the modern day and the colonization of Africa by Europeans, Northern Africa in the Ancient era and Bronze Age isn’t even in the conversation.

I’m presenting a narrow view of Africa because we are discussing a very small but impactful part of it’s history for black and white people today.

You're presenting a narrow view history to justify white supremacy.

part of the destruction of the native indian was they had a competing economic system. the word may be competing ethic i dont know.

so yea maybe we had more advanced warfare which is why we dominated them, we may have more stuff which was more advanced than them, but they probably did some things better than us too.

They didn’t really produce anything that would be seen as useful in advancing to the modern society we are at today. Africa was a provider of labor and natural resources for Europeans during that time period, that’s about it.

I’m not a white supremacist I’m a western chauvinist and unapologetically so.

western chauvinist

What does that mean? Edit: I just looked it up. While it’s cool that you are proud of living in a certain culture based on a certain religion (I am too), I don’t understand why you choose to call it chauvinism. It just brings connotations to bigotry.

 

[El Correcto]

What does that mean?

The modern western society is the most superior one humans have ever lived in. All other societies before it and currently here are inferior to it.

I would go a step further and say I’m an American chauvinist.
Have you ever had a British breakfast? Yuk.

What would you say to the idea that western civilization is in danger of a great fall?

Native Indians were a stone age culture. Their economic system was mostly by barter.

But maybe you prefer glass beads. They're shiny!

i think the europeans brought greed and hoarding to north america, the natives didnt practice that and they viewed some things as sacred like nature.

Not while america is willing to elect people like Donald Trump. That man is unapologetic about American superiority to the world and ready to keep it that way.

Biden is too busy hunting down South American parents to come vote for him.

The concept of the Noble Savage is a myth.

They warred on each other, owned slaves, committed acts of cruelty like many other people.

I agree. The white European savages were the furthest thing from being Noble.

You have a naive view of human nature, natives were doing the same Europeans did hundreds of years before them. Waging territorial wars and raping each other.

Thanks to the communists(I don't care what label anyone wants to use) who are sowing division along every line imaginable, even some that they had to make up. Civilizations come and go. Hope everyone is prepared for the tumult. In twenty years people are going to wonder why anyone got so upset over a little chest cold.
