Is the world a better place because of the White man?

[Anonymous]

as this meme seems to suggest:

Yes the world is a better place because of the White man!

Hell no!

[Effably]

I feel this narrative is going to cause a lot of strife.

White people have, like everyone, been part of plenty of atrocities and progress. The majority of modern invention comes from predominantly white countries.

Outside of technological advance we can go for somethint controversial. We live in a rare pocket of time without rampant slavery. This, as awkward as it might sound, is largely a 'white' thing.

Slavery has existed for as long as human society. We count only two prior civilisations without slavery, one was the aztec who just killed people instead and the other australian aborginials - where to be clear there is no evidence they did not have slaves but also no evidence they did.

People have naturally opposed it. Endless times. And all the credit to those who have done so. The reason I attribute it largely to caucasian people? The rarity is not to rise against slavery but for a slaver to listen. That has never happened before. And not only did white people listen, they outright banned it worldwide.

Slavery was rampant in Africa. And slavery does exist today but we call it the kinder name of “human trafficking”. It is in every city, yes there are slaves within an hour drive of most people. Sex slaves, domestic slaves for cleaning, slaves for manufacturing. And black pimps, Hispanic drug lords, Indian and Arab people have them, Muslims have them and more. It never was and isn’t a white man thing only by any stretch. Today white people have moved beyond that by using technology and creating massive wealth.

The most the “white man” did was be the most violent and cruel and use that cruelty to establish a society that exclusively benefitted them. When they allowed the expressions of morality this also, originally, benefitted them but as people grew more into the people we know today we were able to recognize violence and cruelty as bad, and as such white people told other white people to knock it off and now, in an effort to look like the hero they wish they were rather than the villain they most definitely are, they allow black people to be citizens while silently making it so they have fewer resources, they allow women to be seen as people while still maintaining a constant stream of shaming and projection so as to keep them under their thumb, and they allow immigrants into their nations only to vilify them for doing the work no one else wants to do in the first place. They made the power structure that built the west and maintain it still, but it’s not as blatant as it was a few centuries ago. If the white man hadn’t done all of that, I think the world might be much better without their influence.

You desperately need to do some reality check and touch some grass. Stop watching Jewish crap on mainstream media about “men are bad boohoo men oppress women boohoo”. If “most men” by your definition were evil, we would have a population reduction instead of increase.

Seriously, go touch some grass, most men are amazing who keep the humanity and civilization going. My single father is one of them.

Lady, if you had come at me without being anti-semitic like some supremacist, I might have listened to you. But specifically calling it “jewish” like it’s bad tells me you cannot be trusted

[katiesmuff]

No I don't think that is true at all! Quite sure that Native Americans would be just as happy today and getting along just fine had the interaction of the White man never happened and same goes for other parts of the world where the white man arrived.

[Jersey2]

Absolutely! Unequivocally yes. Unapologetically yes.

Everyone wants to live in a first world country, which is either white or has been conquered by white such as Japan. They invade our countries trying to get to what we have built. Even the internet and all the associated technology is a product of white men.

Wars, slaves, colonization etc has been perpetuated by every race so if that’s where your bitch anon troll wants this to go, then do better.

We were building major things like road ways, indoor plumbing, massive buildings that still stand and are used today 2,000+ years ago and it’s not a simple one off. Even in the 1100s we built things such as Norte Dame. Then our per capita income in white countries vs others is immense. And now we are going to Mars and more.

It is obvious

[SmokinAces2000]

I hear a lot of “we’s” for someone that didn’t do any of this shit

[Jersey2]

@SmokinAces2000 That is specifically because he called out “white men” and I am one. No, I wasn’t around hundreds or thousands of years ago. But I did work in the planets largest corporations, make millions doing it and was e]requested on 6 continents to do major agreements with billions. WTF did you do?

[SmokinAces2000]

Interesting so why didn’t you list the achievements that you did instead of biting off of what random white men have done?

[Jersey2]

@SmokinAces2000 Because the accomplishments of the white race of men are enormous on a global scale. My accomplishments put me in the 1% but don’t compare to Rome, Paris, the totality of technology created, the accomplishments such as a moon landing, the soon to be Mars landing. I do my part as an individual but as part of the whole, it is fantastic.

So, Smokin, are you white or something else. By age 24 I was in the military, Army National Guard, for 4 years by then (Artillery and just starting a new role as a Military Police and then very quickly promoted to Military Police Investigator), was dating my soon to be wife, had graduated from a great university, joined my first major corporation, was made Team Leader of 6 other new hires and more.

What’s your list? Never mind. :D

[SmokinAces2000]

I do well for myself and I’m proud of my accomplishments but I don’t bite off of what other people did years before me.

[Jersey2]

@SmokinAces2000 so, yeah, we covered that and why I answered the question as it was written. Your retarded hang up on that is incredible. I then answered for me personally. I was specific. You just shrugged it off and we both know why… because you have an unimpressive list. It also occurred to me that you are not bright given your responses. FYI, life hasn’t even begun to get hard.

The world has seen incredible progress thanks to various individuals from all backgrounds, including some great white men. But don't forget, it's the leftist woke mob that loves to play identity politics, conveniently ignoring the accomplishments of people from all walks of life. It's more profitable to talk about the George Floyds of the world.

[Syntosi]

Hard to say, probably not but that is just speculations. Colonization and such really fucked up the world. I dont know if that would just happen by someone else if given the opportunity but I dont think there would be too much difference quite frankly.

[Dargil]

Yes. We invented almost everything we use today. Including the representative republic. That's not to say that other strains of humanity have not had their moments. It's just that "whites" have had more of them and more recently. Kudos to the Japanese and Chinese, though. They did some good innovation but they also further developed some of our good stuff.

FEEL THE HATE! You know who you are.

[jshm2]

LOL, no other race has killed, enslaved and exploited more of it's own, and others, than the White man.

The world does BETTER when you take the White man out the equation.

[exitseven]

There is a larger percentage of scientific and technical developments produced by white men.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. The world is better because of all groups.

[SmokinAces2000]

Whose world? The white man made his world better and destroyed other peoples worlds.

[RedInnocent69]

It’s difficult to be a historical revisionist. I’d say, not particularly, just different

[beefcakebradybatson]

WHITEY, PLEASE !!!

[Refteral]

Men in general. Not just whites.
