Re: Re: Deep Thoughts
I have my doubts about your portrayal of migration patterns. I always thought the pattern went from Africa to Asia, then out to Europe and Australia from there. And of course, there are rather impressive artifacts suggesting advanced levels of civilization in Africa and South America before White men arrived, though sometimes they have been denied by, you guessed it, white scholars.
Now, I agree that the white races should not hang their heads in shame. But neither should they claim superiority, except in military hardware in the fifteenth to, why not, twenty-first century. Of course, they got their start from borrowing the mathematics and philosophy of the middle east after the Dark Ages, brought on by White philosophers in the guise of religion. The trading back and forth of ideas and technology has been pretty much constant, and will continue to be so. But there are many who predict that the Asians will soon be overtaking the European races as the supreme leaders in economics, and probably science and engineering as well. So we poor, down-trodden white men had better get to work.

Re: Interesting Post
You're xactly right. I have said the same many a time concerning other races behaving this way but our media has guilted us to death while cleverly ignoring the other races shenanigans.
Insightful of you.

Interesting Post
It's interesting that I have seen several posts related to the lack of identity in the 'white' race that exists. It is extremely important that more people talk about this subject, not only with their kids, but friends, and blogs, and everywhere they can get an ear to listen. The white race has been guilted for succeeding in society; it is also the race that has done more good for the world in regards to charity, diversity, and freedoms, along with the race that has caused some terrible atrocities with slavery and conquering. But, let's not act like the white race is the only one that does this; the white race just did it bigger. In Africa, you have tribes killing each other, to do what? Take over more territory. You have genocides that are more gruesome then any World War ever fought, over racial issues; distinctly, shapes of noses dictating the trible you belong to. The difference is the white race has bought into feeling guilty; where as nobody else has. And let's face it, slavery, was not invented by the south in the US; rather, it has been around since the beginning of time. In fact, I don't know of a single race that has not been enslaved at one time or another. Just read your bible, there were plenty examples of Egyptian, Jewish, slavery. Germans and Japanese were tar and feathered here in the US during the World War, and people have always treated other people like shit.

Deep Thoughts
I enjoy discussing and learning about anthropology and archeology, but mostly only once you get past the superficial first layer of nonsense and fluff. If you ever get there, wake me up.
