The Case For (and against) White Supremacy

[ok doser]

I'll come back and fill this in after I go in swimming. Hold off on responding please, But think about it



This is the definition (from wiki) I'll be working with: "white people are superior to those of other races and thus should dominate them"

There are two parts to this definition

White people are superior to those of other races.

Thus, white people should dominate those other races.

From Jeff's thread:

Will you admit that white people have created superior cultures from ancient Greece to ancient Rome to the British Empire?

Will you recognize that the unprecedented period of prosperity in which we live today is largely a result of white culture?

 

[ok doser]

Was ancient Greece a superior culture?

Was ancient Rome a superior culture?

Was the British Empire a superior culture?

Is the American Empire a superior culture?

 

[Arthur Brain]

Again, superior in relation to what? The Roman Empire collapsed, the British Empire had a lot of blood on its hands and the "American Empire"?

What do you define as a "superior culture" and how does that specifically pertain to "white" as you seem to be arguing?

Was the Roman Empire best characterized as a "superior culture" or as an "inferior culture"?

It was superior in certain respects and inferior in others. Define your parameters as regards superiority and inferiority for relevance.

Is prosperity your only measure?

 

[ok doser]

Is prosperity your only measure?

What other measures might you consider?

In what respects was the Roman Empire inferior?

 

[Arthur Brain]

What other measures might you consider?

Morality? Ethics? How any such prosperity is distributed etc?

:idunno:

 

[Arthur Brain]

In what respects was the Roman Empire inferior?

Well it collapsed didn't it so what went wrong there? Wasn't built to last was it despite the practical advancements it undoubtedly made. Hardly the most equitable regime in history or one that valued humanity as its core foundation.

Again, define your parameters for superiority/inferiority.

[ok doser]

Morality? Ethics?

but you're just throwing those words around as if they mean something, considering that you reject the only true standard for morality and ethics

How any such prosperity is distributed etc?

:idunno:

how should prosperity be distributed for a culture to be superior?

 

[Arthur Brain]

books have been written

They have? Wow, thanks for the update...

How about you just define superiority/inferiority so we can just get to the crux here?

:AMR:

Hardly, the very definition of love comes from the Bible and there's none better, something that you never exhibit. The parable of the Good Samaritan ends this thread from the very same source as an actual "argument" for white supremacy too.

how should prosperity be distributed for a culture to be superior?

One that takes into account basic human needs from the start.

So how does "white supremacy" fit into that exactly? What do you think the parable of the good Samaritan was trying to convey if not the complete antithesis of what you're arguing for or whatever it is here?

In the parable he cares for and goes the extra mile for a human being in dire need of help while those more expected to do so pass on by.

 

[Arthur Brain]

According to who?

Maslow?

The hierarchy of needs? Nah, just a basic understanding and an ability for compassion, undersanding and empathy would do. Not exactly attributes associated with white supremacists...or racists of any stripe.

Bible? Was that a product of a superior White culture?
