Okay...see we are on the same page here. Think I didn't understand where you were coming from. They are talented in arts and culture...but also, of late...in the sciences.
If only we had given them a chance to expand to who they fully are earlier.

Obvious public school education is obvious.
Oh yeah?
Please list a time period during human civilization where we have seen such a rapid advancement in technology as we have world wide in the last 100 years?
I'll be waiting.
Technology tends to advance exponentially, so the last 100 years will always lay claim to the most rapid advancement, whether we're talking about now or 1,000 years from now. And increasingly, technology is being advanced in a multi-cultural, multi-national manner, with major contributions from China and India. This will only increase as time goes on.
Sorry but I'm not buying into the white people are bad, western culture is bad, Christianity is bad racist BS coming from the left.
There is no need for you to apologize for "not buying into the white people are bad" arguments, especially not to me, especially since nothing I said even remotely involves such a notion.
None of this is about whites. Look at the dialogue posted by the MOD. The MSNBC host tried to make it about race, as liberals usually do, just like the embarrassing MOD did, but King's claim is actually about Western Civilization and Christianity, neither of which have F all to do with race or color of skin. There's people of all shades who are both part of the West and follow Christianity.
And this MOD missed an opportunity to actually have a decent conversation about the West's contributions to society at large compared to the contributions of others, as he was too busy pulling the race card and claiming "white supremacy".
"If you're really optimistic, you can say that this is the last time that old white people will command the Republican Party's attention, its platform, its public face," Pierce said. "That hall is wired," he continued. "That hall is wired by loud, unhappy, dissatisfied white people."
King objected.
"This 'old white people' business does get a little tired, Charlie," King said. "I'd ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you're talking about, where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?"
"Than white people?" Hayes asked, clearly amazed.
"Than, than Western civilization itself," King replied. "It's rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the United States of America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. That's all of Western civilization."
The other panelists objected, with Hayes trying to keep the peace. Panelist April Ryan, who is black, asked, "What about Asia? What about Africa?"

If they are used then yes that is the case. If we used them before we will use them again, we just have to have a good enough excuse to use them. That's where ISIS comes in.

Be good if you could change skin like you can on mindcraft then we could just talk about the validity of facts without succumbing to the snare of professional victimhood.
Or in other words, Caesar cared not for skin color so we shouldn't either.

Do you believe that Papuans failed to get to the moon first because of some inherent deficiency in the people themselves? Did an Anglo New Zealander split the atom instead of a Kpella from Liberia because he was just better by birth?
Nukes don't deter America either because we have the most. Nukes have not deterred war even a little bit. Want that your argument, that it stifled war? Because recent history shows that to be wrong.

See the problem is we all think we are the same instead of embracing our individual differences
Asians happen to have minds that have more computational power Germans are talented engineers many African cultures are wet vibrant and connected to the earth and have wonderful art
Middle easterners are devout and religious Indians are open minded spiritualist
I mean the list goes on
Just because Germans basically invent the entire modern world doesn't mean they are better it just means they are better at technology
End this narrow minded bull# immediately
