But then ask yourself why those innovations and improvements in culture have been driven by Europe and North America? Why did it not happen from a nucleus of other places?

Even civilizations like the old Chinese and Middle Easterners didn't see advance like we have the last couple hundred years.

India sent stuff to the moon on a shoe string budget. Japan has been a leader of technologies for decades. Some of the Arab nations are doing insane land creation projects, same with china. Cant remember the specifics but Some African farmer created a process or plant that Monsanto bought that was a big leap forward for them. (That I think they mothballed just so noone could use it to get past them)

You dont actually expect the poorest parts of the world to be leaders in much do you? Skin color doesnt much matter when you are poor.

If all of that is true, you are happy with your life, etc. Then why does white privilege upset you so much? I guess what I am saying is, why is it so hard to be empathetic to others? Empathy is literally the core message of our Christian savior. Are you not Christian?

If your success was boiled down to a single stereotyped thing, how would you feel?

Most women dont like when people/men assume they got a job or had success because they are a woman and got special treatment. Exact same thing with white privledge.

As with a lot of stereotypes it generalizes to the point of absurdity when applied to individual accounts. If you cant/wont understand that you are lacking in empathy.

Think about the very first alpha engineer. Leonardo Da Vinci. An Italian and the father of modern engineering. A true Renaissance man 😎. The Renaissance Period was when scientific developments began to burst forth at a much higher rate. This was driven largely by culture in the northern Mediterranean and Western European regions. I’m not sure it had anything to do with race.

It was because of the other cultures and their races that the Renaissance happened. It was exposure from the crusades to a whole bunch of new to many parts of Europe that sparked the Renaissance.

Again its just a misunderstanding of the concept. The concept of white privilege is not to denigrate any success. People here have a lot to learn. Sadly, I don't think they want to

Who is “upset”. Normal people know “white privilege” is made up BS. The life decisions and choices that people and their parents make are the reasons of where there are in life. 100% of the time. Self responsibility is something that emotionally intelligent people value. And empathy doesn’t mean not pointing out how stupid people continuously making the same mistakes over and over and causing their lot in life then complaining about others as an excuse.

Thanks Louder. Arabs invented math, literally. Any and all innovation has math as its core.
