“White people are the best thing that happened to the world," says white man harassing undergrads at Columbia University
- Thread starter ThisThingIsUseful
- Start date
Some of the greatest "sins" and atrocities in the modern era were committed by Europeans, often in the name of whiteness. So if by "best thing that ever happened" he means the Europeans conquest and oppression of numerous classes of people, their ideas, and land that has gone for ages, what does "best" even mean? Being great never meant being good.
Point me to an achievement that can be credited to white people, and I'll bet there is likely an oppressed group that assisted but not given credit, or were harmed in the process to make it happen.

Guy is clearly drunk or high, but those are probably his actual beliefs. In relation to non-white contributions to "civilization"...

We have destroyed so much of the world, not just this country, singlehandedly. Saying that we are even close to the best comes off as so cynical I can hardly grasp how to begin responding to it sincerely
What a dumbass comment honestly. You can't judge a whole race for the actions of a few dumbasses.
Is there anything more indicative of the nature of white privilege than a drunk white loser explicitly trying to coast on the successes of others
You see, white people hastening the demise of the human race really is the best thing that could happen to the planet. I'm sure everything else on earth will be much happier without us.
I'm going to need some evidence on the printing thing and I'm somehow sure it wasn't called gunpowder.
Good example of how white nationalism is attractive to dweebs. Makes them feel like they are a part of the rise of western nations while they are 50K in debt and working at Starbucks.
Looks like it was called black powder. As for printing:
"Copper movable type printing originated in China at the beginning of the 12th century. It was used in large-scale printing of paper money issued by the Northern Song dynasty. Movable type spread to Korea during the Goryeo dynasty. Around 1230, Koreans invented a metal type movable printing using bronze."
I think you're slightly missing the point, though. Treating world history and the history of civilized society isn't a pissing contest and shouldn't be treated as such. (I say as I piss out this list)
But White people improved all of these! Did you see what writing looked like before English!?
The concept of zero should be added as well.
Without zero, we wouldn't have the additive identity of addition: x + 0 = x, where zero is the additive identity. Also, Newton's 2nd Law of Motion becomes meaningless:
F = ma => F - ma = ?.
Zero is such an important concept to mathematics as well as a tremendous step in humankind's intellectual evolution.

White dude here and yeah it's dumb. It always comes across to me as virtue signaling. You can be an ally without hating yourself or heritage.
Have never understood the reaction to posts like this being so negative.
Well, Pumpkins are native to the Americas. Same for Potatoes and Peanuts.
Still on the topic of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.... PoC were the first to cultivate Coffee. No "old world" Coffee, no "new world" Pumpkins, no Pumpkin Spice Lattes! And one could say, "But, Pumpkin Pie Spice has no pumpkins in it! Checkmate!!" Ah, but there'd be no "Pumpkin Pie Spice" if there were no Pumpkins for Pumpkin Pies.
Also, PoC were the first to cultivate the crop that is "the most WHITEST of flavors", Vanilla.

I'm kind of glad to see there are other people who think this without crossing the whole "but what about white history month?" line
The legacy and ongoing reality of white supremacy doesn't mean you should turn your asshole inside out in an effort to please everyone with how woke you are. It's odd and kind of pathetic.

How is this virtue signalling? Honestly having issue with criticizing white people smells way more like alt-right people trying to use some reverse racism card.
Oh yeah, you're so right. Totally cucks. That's definitely what I'm getting at. Here I am, good 'ole me, gaslighting resetera by one month arguing for a black power movement in the Democratic party, and another month condemning race-traitor soy boys
I've been had!
The majority of White Americans are pretty shitty though. We keep electing monsters to the government that willfully hurt minorities and the poor.
I don't think there is anything wrong with calling us out. But no, I don't hate my race because I don't hate myself. I just recognize a current problem.

Feels nice to read insightful and informed posts like these.
As Agatha Christie's Miss Marple was fond to say "Human nature is the same everywhere."
As a Spaniard, the difference between when Americans and Canadians assume I'm Mexican (always) and when they learn I'm actually Spanish is astonishing.
My post was a response to the post I quoted not your overall internet persona
Can we get him on record saying White men aren't the greatest thing? I'll only believe he's sincere if he does this on camera.
He won't.
They cut the "I don't believe anything I'm about to say, this is merely performance art." part from the beginning.
I'm pretty surprised how common it is for people to refer to Latinos as "Spanish" still.
Could you point out the racist post and explain what sort of systemic or institutional damage it contributes to? Thanks!
Yeah, I like to call them English back. Man do they get pissed.
One idiot says something stupid should really not be worthy of a thread or any outrage.
If you hear this dumbass say these things, challenge him.. but don't try to publicize his dumb ideas.

Ah I see he has his copy of 'So You Were Caught Being a Bigot?'
If I was treating it as a pissing contest I'd be pointing out we made (some of) our biggest advances by finding new applications for things the Chinese invented.
Yeah, as soon as you hear a white dude or dudette utter that they are "European" in the context of chest-pounding, you pretty much know what's up.
"Nordic" and "Scandanavian" mean you 100% know what's up.
Sophomore physics student. Believes white people invented science.

Yep. It checks out.
