It's not "white expansion", it's human expansion. Every culture and every race is involved in it at all levels.

I think society advances when those in it are able to produce their own resources in enough quantity to provide for more than themselves.

This begets industry,  which begets currency, specilization of labor, innovation, infrastructure,

These types of civilizations formed in places where agriculture was most viable, for example, the nile region,  mesopotamia, italy, india, china, etc.

people spread out across the world forming distinct civilizations in agriculturally viable territories, then, invariably, conquering neigboring territories who were less established to create empires with the original colony as a citidel, a heart, supplying nourishment to the territories, and circulating unique and specialized resources back into the system.

Society operates the same way today as a BIG picure.  Big nations still take resources from small, poor nations, and give them some sort of overprices nourishment in return.  There isn't alot of bloodshed as the wars have already been fought, uprising and rebellions can still happen, but usually end up becomming examples....

that's not really fair.  civilization is cyclical.  after the the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe dive-bombed into the middle age.  several hundred years spent living in mud shacks.

the ancient egyptians of africa had a flourishing civilization that peaked a thousand years or so before Rome.

and you have to consider resources.  the saharan plains haven't exactly got an abundance of resources.




Egypt is a better example of Mediterranean culture, rather than African culture.  Egyptians may have been Africans, but they were pretty damn far away from Sub-Saharan Africans.
And the Saharan plains may not be abundant with resources, but Africa has everything from deserts to jungles, mountains to plains, and the only significant culture that evolved was Egypt.

Civilization IS cyclical- but when was the last "Up" cycle Africa had?
I don't think they had one.  I think they've always been in huts.

European civilization did take a tumble after the fall of the Roman empire, but I don't think its anything in comparison to the way Africa has been since the dawn of time.  Plus, they did rebound and several European powers became the dominating forces on the plant (and that was Europe DIVIDED).



Whats wrong with living in huts? We're so civilized with our tvs and fancy houses but we're fucking up the planet more than more primitive cultures who managed to not negatively effect the Earth for thousands of years...



Pwned

Wrong. It depends on the society's views. Some are imperialist/conquerors while others would rather remain isolationists. I'm white myself, but I can safely say the white race has been pretty much the biggest asshole so far in history.

Every culture on the planet has set out to conquer their neighbors at one point or another. The Chinese did it, the Japanese did as well, there was the ottoman empire, the Persian empire, the vedic civilizations, the huns, the aztecs, romans and greeks, the vikings. The Egyptians repeatedly conquered nubia and the various semitic civilizations, then the Kushites conquered the Egyptians...and on and on it goes.

i declare racism on op

I tend to give into stereotypes and sometimes wonder if im racist but i highly doubt it because all of my life has been very diverse in terms of having friends of many cultures and races throughout my life.

One kid was from turkey he was a crazy mofo, but cool nonetheless.

This other asian kid i knew in middle school told me about how he'd shove pencils in his peee-hole; i chose not to believe him.

Ive had many close black friends one who just so happened to introduce me into marijuana, and pretty much launched my career as potsmokin pillpoppin and dope slangin menace, and later a pathetic user(im ok now).

But nonetheless he was a great friend, we'd all skip skoo at his house which happened to be one block away from the "little house in paradise" my parents had moved to.

I was the ripe old age of twelve and spent many days drinking alchol and smoking blunt after blunt of schwag(got me absolutely BLITZED back in the day)and pack aftter pack of newports. It was a very fun year.

Eventually he went his seperate way, like most people in my neighborhood have. And though the saga of my neighborhood is actually a very entertaining one, i have not the time nor motive to write it out here.

Thanks for reading if you did

, im starting to nodd out, gonna go watch sopranos wit my bro(never had HBO).


1ove:mushroom2:

p.s.

close this thread its got racist motives imo

Who fucking cares what you declare. What does labeling someone a racist have to do with anything? People act like the second they call you a racist all discussion is over, it's like the new communism.

It has to do with your motive for associating rape with a race, and speaking as though it were scientifically proven or something. Furthermore gathering any conclusive data on Rape frequency among different races would be extremely difficult if not impossible.

I know its your right to be racist, i was just pointing it out, and i was sayin the thread should be closed because i dont think the pub rules approve of racism, i may be wrong though.

^^^Exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. You're no longer allowed to ask pertinent questions. Maybe there is a link between race and violence, maybe there isn't. Trying to socially ban the exploration of ourselves if fucking absurd.

ANYONE who considers race to be a factor in judging the character or actions of a person or indeed a nation is a racist.

I'm completely willing to discuss.
Perhaps post one of those articles that were mentioned, and I will read it. But so far you have not provided anything except baseless opinions that appear racist.

Your totally right, while there is an obvious and measurable connection to race and physiological traits it's completely out of line to suggest that there might be a connection between race and inherited psychological traits even though they too are the result of physiology....right?

I think you might be confusing me with the OP, unless suggesting that you ask questions is now considered racist. Either way I don't really give a shit.

Of your supposed link and 'measurable connection' between race and 'psychological traits'.

I did not call you an asshole, I merely enquired as to whether you had any evidence, becuase if not, your statements in this thread makes you a racist as per my definition and I consider all racists to be spineless, brainless, assholes. :smirk:

I didn't say there was one, I suggested that it's a reasonable assumption that deserves further exploration.

  • There is a link between race and physiological traits. Bone density, skin elasticity and color, skull shape, genetic disposition for certain diseases...etc

  • Many psychological traits are the result of the physiology if the brain.


Why would genetic variation be limited to appearances?

I never once suggested that any race is better than any other, only that there are very apparent differences, and it's ridiculous to ignore them. This whole moratorium on asking questions is pure nonsense. Any time you have bottlenecking of a population there's going to be an evolutionary effect.

Oh, and I consider people who would rather let society do their thinking for them so they don't have to ask uncomfortable questions to be "spineless, brainless, assholes".:tongue:

If you read the thread, you'd see the study mentioned about the "civilization gene" being largely absent in blacks, and the "sociopathic gene" being very common in Maori.
