[ThisIsMyOpinion]

We did many good things. Yet it's pretty much forbidden to just thank white people for what they did since a lot was at the cost of human lifes. For example, here were some really nasty human experiments done in WW2 in Japan. Search unit 731, it is horrifying! You think Mengele was bad you haven't seen anything! After the war was over their papers actually gave an incredible advance in immunology and create a medical company dedicated to it. So hurra medical advances and health care brought to us by the white men, after doing the worst human atrocities possible! This is the argument as to why is not right to thank white people for what the done over the years.
Yet so many things were done simply because they wanted to make the world beter. Nikola Tesla is a good example. He found out how to bring free energy to everyone and was shut down because it meant less money for corporations. He died mad and alone. Many men just wanted to make the world better and did it out of their own sweat and blood! To those I say thank you!

[Britantic]

Yeah like how many are alive because of immunisations.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Exactly!

[Therisinghero12]

The dude who invented the first vaccine's actually risked his own son in the experiment.

[RolandCuthbert]

haha! That was funny.

[ThisDudeHere]

As much as it's okay to be proud of your history and heritage, to claim that ALL white people are owed a thank you is narcissistic. Wast majority of all people, white or not, never achieved anything in their lives, only certain individuals did. We have to thank them.

[lovedejj_xo]

Agreed!

[Exterminatore]

@ThisDudeHere

Really? I agree with your premise. What gives with Black History Month? Surly you’d be against that too based on you statements right?

[lovedejj_xo]

@Exterminatore they have different months for Hispanic, Italian, and so forth. Why is it that people complain about black history month it’s one month. Also... many other heritages have a month. I didn’t get that vibe from this post at all

[ThisDudeHere]

I'm not American anyway but yes I disagree with the concept of an history month for a single group.

[Exterminatore]

@lovedejj_xo

Well, why do we need a Black History Month, a Black Entertainment Chanel, a Black this and that?

Wouldn’t the exclusion of other races fit the lack of all inclusiveness and multiculturalism that liberalism promotes.

All these things do is serve to further the victim complex of black Americans and inflate an undo sense of pride as I see it.

[Therisinghero12]

Every year should be history year, all our ancestors contributed to where we are today :D

[motownplayer2000]

I'm not particularly thankful to white people for anything.. per say. But glad that your proud of your heritage. Just to use it to belittle and hold it over other races like white people have done for centuries.

by the way, the reason there is black history is because black people do not really know there heritage, the history was actively erased back in the slavery days.. and the black communities are divided, and hurting. It's a way to build up the black community to the level that everyone else pretty much is in society! It's not necessarily for anyone else... but then again, other races tell blacks to get over shit in there history... which is said.. no other race is told to "get over" something. We don't tell Americans to get over 9/11. That's was a almost 20 years ago... 🤔

Long story short, if I had to thank white people for anything. It would be the white women! Just for being cool and stepping out when it wasn't and still isn't cool to go out and mix with other races.. that's the coolest thing that I can respect about the this whole post. Nothing else, really.

[Britantic]

Black history wasn't erased at all, it's still there in Africa, the same Africa that had been enslaving their own people and selling them on to who ever wanted them since before the time christ was born. The Arabs and ottomans had more African slaves than America ever had, usually the gelded the males too. African slaves& their descendants trived in the United states like nowhere else as the African American population gives testament to.
Black people are Americans and many died on 9/11.

[motownplayer2000]

Lol, oh, you don't live in America... my bad... Americans had been cut off of there history from those slavery days.. trust me.. some of the ancestors that were still cognitive have confirmed that. Yes, it might be still alive in Africa, but how close do you think America is with the relationship with Africa? Not really that close...

Yes, your right. Rome also has slaves and sold them, as well as the Greeks and English.. they all enslaved there own races... but no race was thought less of more then any other race then the Africans during slavery.. and the Irish were right up there behind the Africans... it's documented history that isn't taught in America

[Britantic]

What every people that was enslaved was thought lesser of.
Slavs were thought of as a slave race so much so that the word slav means slave in most languages.
Arabs & Turks used European & Africans as slave soldiers.
Arabs thought so little of African men that the mutilated their genitals so they couldn't breed.
Romans used to feed slaves to wild animals, fight slaves as gladiators, work them to death in mines and quarries or as oarsmen in galleys.
I think in the history of slavery African Americans had the best deal of the lot.

[Therisinghero12]

If you want history erased, I know this guy, use to go by the name Stalin; put him in power and all that history will just poof away.

[motownplayer2000]

Well I respect your opinion.. but I have to disagree. Those slaves had the opportunity to buy there freedom! Especially the gladiators and soldiers and all that.. African American slaves would still be in slavery now.. if the civil war had not broken out and crippled the South forcing the hand of Abe Lincoln to try to fix it by signing the emancipation Proclamation. Which freed some slaves but not all at the time.. all slavery isn't good. And you can go back and forth about who had it worst.. but that's probably the most compelling part to me when I studied all the different histories of slavery.

[motownplayer2000]

This is just the comparison between the Roman and American Slavery days. But this theme is universal throughout the whole time of slavery.

[Massageman]

First we DO have to thank the Lord for making everyone of every color. But I digress - - -

I would think that modern sanitation/ sewage and pressurized water systems were very important. Without them, disease would still be rampant, leaving no one alive to invent computers, rockets and perma- pressed jeans!

Ancient Greek Minoans were credited with the first clay-tile, underground water supply and sewage system. Greeks and Roman empires had workable sanitary systems on a large scale.

John Harrington (not Mr. Crapper) invented the toilet. Alex Cumming improved it by making it a flush system with an S-bend, sealing the system against odor and bacteria.

(Mr. Crapper DID improve the toilet by creating better refill systems and the ballcock float but he didn't invent the toilet itself).

And by point of fact, these individual were "white".

[Britantic]

Portland cement was invented in the 18th century to build London's sewer system I think.

[Massageman]

In 1824, Joseph Aspdin, a bricklayer and mason in Leeds, England, took out a patent on a hydraulic cement that he called portland cement because its color resembled the stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the British coast. Aspdin's method involved the careful proportioning of limestone and clay, pulverizing them, and burning the mixture into clinker, which was then ground into finished cement.
Portland cement today, as in Aspdin's day, is a predetermined and carefully proportioned chemical combination of calcium, silicon, iron, and aluminum. [Source: Portland Cement Association]

[tartaarsaus]

Yeah, No. Im Happy Tesla discovered things, or Newton. I don't see why I should be thankful of a group of people who share very little at all and 99.99999% have got nothing to do with these inventions

[tartaarsaus]

Or of course, if we're giving everyone the praise for things others did, how about sharing the horrible deeds?

I guess using your logic I might as well be mad at all white people for killing 6 million Jews, my people 🤷

[Britantic]

Let he without sin cast the first stone?

[SpiderManFan2002]

It isn't just whites who contributed to these things.

People from all around the world contributed to these things, so rather than just highlighting one group of people, highlight all.

[Britantic]

But generally it was Whitey I'm afraid, at least for the majority of the 20th century

[SpiderManFan2002]

And what about before then?

Don't put yourself above the lord, because that is so offensive to many. And we're all just human at the end of the day.

And what about before the 20th century?

Being proud of your heritage is one thing, but putting yourselves above the lord, is just completely narcissistic in my eyes.

[Britantic]

Purposing that there is a Lord is offensive to many too.
Industrial revolution, that's us too. Age of discovery that's us too. Reninsance was us too. Before that the middle easterners, before that Romans & Greeks. Before that Persians, before that Egyptians. Indians& Chinese were steadily progressed science &technology around the time of the Egyptians up & down. They started to stagnate around the 15th century I think. Looks like the Chinese and Indians will be the ones to push technology and science on.

[SpiderManFan2002]

So, everyone's contributed to technology, so why thank the "white folks" only? You didn't say, "Only thank the white folks" but by just mentioning white folks, putting yourself above somebody like "the lord", you've definitely implied it.

[Exterminatore]

All of the above. Also for designating February as Black History Month so Blacks can feel like they have something to celebrate and feel like they accomplished a lot as a race when in fact they haven’t. So, I want to thank whites for filling blacks with pride over mostly nominal accomplishments in America and ensuring continued racism and a false sense of pride and accomplishment within the black community. Thank you white liberals for propitiating this abomination on all races in America.

Go ahead and designate a month “White History Month” and watch the butt hurt begin.

[EpicDweeb]

I'm afraid I do thank the Lord for those things. Doesn't matter to me who invented them the only reason we can do anything, and learn anything is by God's grace. If not for God making the universe a universe of order and rules we could not hope that scientific research would produce consistent results that could be repeated.

[Jackblue]

I agree that white civilization has benefited everybody to an enormous degrees, but I would say that people of color owe a thank you to white culture, not white individuals, and of course there are many people of color who have contributed to white civilization like George Washington Carver. Plus to God, we owe everything.

[Britantic]

George Washington Carver, the peanut butter guy?

[Jackblue]

Yeah, peanut butter helped to save many livelihoods in America.

[lialibe]

Why would you thank a certain race? each culture and country has their own thing.

[up_64]

Well some have done more or less for humanity.

[Sonorous]

@up_64 - And the ones that did the most for humanity didn't do it because of their skin color. So that part is irrelevant. If it's the culture then they should specify.

[up_64]

Okay. Yes but the culture comes with the race

[lialibe]

@up_64 It doesn't come with race. You can be a different race but have a culture thatvisnt what would be considered culture for your race. Race and culture are two very different things. Culture is based on the religous and ideals of ones food, music, and more.

[xXSaturnXx]

I'm not proud of 'whites' for anything but I AM proud of what us Irish have done. We invented whiskey, hot chocolate, seismology, radiotherapy, reflex sights, ejection seats, portable defibrillators and some not so nice things like the needle on syringes, but you get my point. Be proud of your ethnic background, not your skin colour, at least we can appreciate differences with ethnic backgrounds instead of making things racist.

[Youryeodongsaeng]

I am not going to thank unknown workers. I’m going to thank some of the historians who made lives useful back then. And I also thank the creators of YouTube and Google. Thanking all white people, that, I cannot do. But if it’s a white person being nice and taking care of children the right way, I have to say, “God will bless your soul for taking care of these children” or “God will bless you soul for doing good deeds”

[Phanta]

I first and foremost thank the Lord. But I also thank the Whites. Besides being responsible for most of the great civilizations and almost all of the great inventions. And White people have done more to spread the Gospel of Christ throughout the world than all other races combined.

[J3nny]

I don't owe y'all anything. I owe the specific people who developed those things. I don't owe a race anything. White Pepe as a group did nothing for me. Are you gonna thank Asian people for what we've done? No. Giving thanks to a whole race includes giving praise to those who don't deserve it. I'll continue to thank my Lord. Good day.

[J3nny]

People*** lol pepe

[Britantic]

Yes thank You. Also your welcome for vaccinations.

[J3nny]

Yeah no. You didn't do shit. I'll thank Edward Jenner. You're just taking credit for something you didn't do because of your physical appearance. Quite pathetic.

[Britantic]

I hope you remember that during black history month lol

[J3nny]

I don't celebrate black history month. I don't celebrate any race history month.

[Anjali090]

I thank them for letting brown people succeed them in their countries. Most high positions are held by brown people in the UK like London mayor Sadiq Khan and Indian billionaire who made his fortune in the UK named Lakshmi Mittal. 👍🙌🏼😌

[Britantic]

Yes I'm it's good that people can come to Britain in search of a better life from the poverty ridden third world countries they come from and become British through and through. That's what makes Great Britain Great, I mean it's not like people are queuing up to go to India or Pakistan.
Some of us were hoping Sajid Javid would become Prime Minister but it was not to be.

[Anjali090]

If it weren’t for Britain, India wouldn’t be a third world 👍

[Britantic]

They've had 60 years of independence and yet people still shit in the street.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

I am grateful for all those things. Europeans have contributed s much to our world.
Greek Philosophy, Roman State Craft, German Engineering, and Catholic Morality are the foundation for western civilization

[Britantic]

... don't forget prodestant work ethic lol

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Protestantism divided European people. It also was an excuse to reject the Church and confiscate land. So i am sort of a based catholic lol

You are referring to Ora et Labora, Which is from benedictine monks. Thats where the work ethic comes from.

[Britantic]

Catholism was stagnating and being crushed by corruption, Protestantism saved Catholicism

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

That's a fair point

[MackToday]

I suppose gratitude is appreciated but we will produce these things everywhere we go. It's like thanking a tree for producing fruit, we can not do otherwise.

[Britantic]

It's mote lile thanking a neighbour with a fruit tree thst gives you free fruit.

[MackToday]

That fruit has caused us a lot of problems as well. So many hangers on who insist on living in our countries because theirs are shit holes. Schroedinger's white man basically.

[JDavid25]

I am grateful for all those things. Europeans have contributed s much to our world.
Slavery, colonialism, breakin a group of people by keepin them down, ignorin the legacy of oppression, givin little history of everybody besides European history, providin division and then actin like why don't know why, creatin a first world nation wit one too many crimes, actin like they did the world a favor.. LOL.. Damn those "Whites" have given us so much.. :)

[Britantic]

Well if you knew history other than white history you'd know that whites were the first to outlaw slavery and that slavery was invented by Africans, colonialism also predates European colonialism when Africans attempted to colonise southern Europe.
Just look at what whites gave Africa, the fact that so many are alive today infastructure, agriculture, modern medicine

[JDavid25]

Slavery was not invented by Africans.. XD.. And Lincoln outlawed slavery sure, but they didn't allow "Black" people to do much after that.. And, well Europe Colonized most of Africa.. And I don't know when that happened but I'm sure it wasn't in recent history like European Colonialism.. I mean it's got you talk ish.. But I was mainly kiddin, just to be the opposite of you.. XD..

[Britantic]

We outlawed slavery long before Lincoln.
Slavery was invented in Africa long before whites got there. Africans enslaved other Africans and sold them to the ancient Egyptians, romans or Arabs then Muslims. Europeans bought African slaves but it was Africans that enslaved them.
Africans were enslaving Europeans before Europeans were enslaving Africans.

[JDavid25]

You didn't outlaw.. LMAO.. Now you just makin "facts" up.. Yeah European parts did, not the U. S... Slavery was outlawed distinctively 1865.. That's when slavery was abolished.. And prisoners of war and bond servants were invented before Europeans got there.. It happened few and far in-between because Tribes were sometimes at war.. But it happened more when the Europeans came over and started to colonize Africa.. They traded weapons and newer technology for the prisoners of war certain tribes caught, and they even went out to get slaves from tribes that didn't participate wit all that.. And no, Europeans brought prisoners of war and enslaved them and branded them on Pre-American soil.. And you are talkin about the Barbary slave trade which happened over a period of 250 years and was by North Africans, which are Arab/Muslims.. Not "Black" Africans.. ;)... Also, some Europeans participated in that also.. :)..

[Britantic]

The Somersett Case in 1772, in which a fugitive slave was freed with the judgement that slavery did not exist under English common law, helped launch the British movement to abolish slavery.
The United Kingdom (then including Ireland) and the United States outlawed the international slave trade in 1807, after which Britain led efforts to block slave ships.
Britain abolished slavery throughout its empire by the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (with the notable exception of India), the French colonies re-abolished it in 1848 and the U. S. abolished slavery in 1865 with the 13th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution.
Africans were enslaving white people right up until 1850s.
Africans were among the biggest practioners of slavery and still do it to this day.
Africa Americans greatly benefited from colonialism and their living standards and numbers went up, compared to the native Americans who your people nearly wiped out.

[JDavid25]

Okay that's good and dandy but you forget the most important thing... Slavery in the U. S was still goin strong.. 😂😂.. And they abolished it but colonialism is still also strong for a while after that.. And it wasn't Sub Saharan Africans though.. Which Europeans took.. So I don't know why you keep tellin me about Africans Enslavin Europeans.. Lol.. And what nooo it didn't... Because of racism and oppression African Americans had to struggle.. And we wiped out the Natives? Where are you gettin this info from.. Europeans arare the ones who came over here started wars wit ththe Natives and killin them wit they diseases.. 😂😂.. Yo "White" nationalist idealogy is really somethin.. You need Jesus little girl..

[ZeussLightningBolt]

All of the above
And THIS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkXHsK4AQPs

[MarketData]

So you know heavy metal evolved from the blues... the black man's music?

[Britantic]

@MarketData and we are thankful for it, hip hop& R&B too.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@MarketData Yes I do. And like Britanic said, we are thankful for it. Actually, I'm not a fan of hip hop and R&B but I do like the Blues. And reggae of course.
And the first rock n roll song was actually written by a black guy. But white people perfected the genre and invented heavy metal.
I'm not grateful for country music though. We really fucked up there. LOL

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@MarketData all modern music evolved from classical

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@SuccessfulHornDog I had a professor in college who taught a "History of Rock n Roll" class, and he started with African drum music, and everyone was confused.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

I just made that up. Its ridiculous to say black people invented rock because of the blues, hip hop is based upon English poetry. All rap is based upon Shakespeare. Etc...

[MarketData]

@SuccessfulHornDog No, the second one is ridiculous. The first one is demonstrably true.

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@MarketData sorry but they're the same

[MarketData]

@SuccessfulHornDog Blues is the same as Shakespeare?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@MarketData I hate the blues and love metal. They are worlds apart

[MarketData]

@SuccessfulHornDog How do you feel about Jimi Hendrix?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@MarketData I enjoyed some of his work but one black rock guitarist doesn't prove your point.

[MarketData]

@SuccessfulHornDog It does if you see him as a major transitional figure between blues and metal.

[Physics-Man]

I'd say white people, along with Asian people, have made the greatest contributions to human society, culture, development, heritage, and ingenuity.

The day we have a time machine, warp drive, or teleportation, it's most likely to be invented by an Asian or Caucasian man, or perhaps even a collaboration. I'm merely following historical patterns.

[up_64]

Apparently the truth is racist in 2019

[Hiopdtgy]

@up_64 you are mixed with black self hater

[Physics-Man]

@Hiopdtgy
What does him being mixed have to do with hating himself? I'd say he's rather intelligent because he's able to recognize the reality instead of name calling like others do. He's acknowledging the truth.

[up_64]

@hiopdtgy Except I'm not. I'm simply someone who knows some history

[Just-Confused]

.. that's a weird song. But I'm most thankful for modern medicine because otherwise I doubt I'd be doing as well. Anyways though, didn't whites start the tradition of thanking God? At least in America. So that's interesting..
