How are white people everywhere better off than people of color?

[Ferrari]

Why is it white countries are doing significantly better than darker countries?If you were to take white babies and put them in the jungles and do the same thing with black babies who do you think would create cities and rules to live by faster? I don't believe that white people are more intelligent than us but at the same time one can't close his eyes to the evident trend. Discuss!

A lot of is because of colonialism. Other reasons are because of corruption and other dumb factors.

A lot of fucked up countries today used to be very powerful once.

everwhere is where? i need concrete receipts of how theyre better off "everywhere"

 

[Tramo]

they got where they are through imperialism colonialism. in fact the plight of many of these 'darker' countries in the world today is a direct result of that. let's not forget they were in the dark ages (ha) for centuries while the east was at the forefront of innovation and prosperity

 

[BebsiBolice]

On top of that the next coming centuries best believe White countries will be a very sad position. Africa and Asia are rising and taking control of their lands. Europe is sterile they only grow potatoes which they then in return make vodka of. People of color should just realize that

It wasn't long ago when Europeans were running around naked in forests killing eachother while brown civilizations were making new innovations in fields of math,physics,astrology. Simply put white people are really good at borrowing shit and have the least resistance to change compared to other cultures which explains their newly found success these last few decades centuries.

You're looking at history with a very narrow lense. White people, before the rise of Islam in Europe were the savages of the world. They didn't have soap, their kings thought bathing was unbeffitting of them, they had no sewage systems and used to throw their feces/piss filled buckets into the streets.

You gotta understand white ppl have no bounds. Other people conquered the known earth before but they had limits. White people crossed all boundaries when they made GOD white. Think about that for a second. The religion with the largest following on earth gave their God a color. This helped them in psychologically terrorizing blacks until this day.

P.s 500 years of mass slavery based on race will give anyone a sufficient head start. Not to mention changing slavery from physical, to economical and psychological.

Countries like Finland were not involved in the colonial race nor benefited from it and was poor not long ago but ranks amongst the top now.
I think the reasons are many but culture and ability to organize are two things that makes the difference.

through colonialism thus enabling them to steal the resources of those countries and leaving them for the dead. couple centuries ago it was complete the opposite..nothing to be surprised by tbh, power shifts happen all the time, it's just matter of time before these less developed countries who btw has massive untapped natural resources start booming economically. but before that to happen they need to sort out their unparalleled corruption.

"It has become the new truth of the early twenty-first century that the Western world we have known is fast losing its pre-eminence to be replaced by a new international system shaped either by the so-called BRICs comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the ‘rest’, or more popularly by that very broadly defined geographical entity known as Asia. This at least is how many economists, historians and students of world politics are now viewing the future of the larger international system"

I suspected the small minded would cry the "it is colonialism" argument. Fact is that before the colonization, Europe was much more advanced than everyone else, why didn't african ships sail the world. I believe it isn't due to whites being smarter but their ability to question and their curiosity that set them apart. I believe the more people question, the more knowledge they gain. if today it started raining gold a European will ask why and an African while be happy and start dancing

 

[ironclad urchin]

but they did

, Europe was much more advanced than everyone else, why didn't african ships sail the world.

But we did!

The Renaissance and Industrial Revolution happened first in Europe.

The Renaissance and Industrial Revolution happened first in Europe.

The Renaissance was triggered in Europe through the writings of Islamic thinkers like ibn khaldun, al khawarizmi, ibn Sina, ibn rush, al ghazali etc

The famous St. Thomas Aquinas took most of his revolutionary thoughts from imam al ghazali

It is simply a matter of cultural organization combined with genetics. White people lived in a cold climate where hunting and gathering was possible for only 5 months of the year. They had be frugal even when they were at the hunter-gatherer stage. This helped weed out the dumb and those unable to control the urge for self gratification. When agriculture was introduced, they were able to further increase their social development by virtue of being in a region perfectly suited for grain production enabling the development of even more complex societies and stronger states. Europeans have always been militarily advanced, even at the height of Islam's golden age they were able to colonize the holy land for 200 years. The development of strong states, based on grain production and of somewhat restrained and cowed populations allowed whites to then conquer the rest of the world. This does not mean white people were in any way exceptional because the Chinese had those same attributes and advantages even earlier than whites but did not pursue large scale colonization.

Africa where blacks live is tropical and has too many diseases to count. The stupid members of the population have not been weeded out to the same level as Europe because they could easily survive the outside temperature and subsist on hunting and gathering year round. This is why you still have hunter gatherers in Africa to this day but none in Europe even a 1000 years ago. Strong states were very rare in Africa because there was always more land than people. Whoever tried to create a strong state would soon lose his population as they fled taxation. As a matter of fact, the Bantu groups were still migrating and settling parts of Africa as late as the 1600s. Black people are lucky that the Americas exist, if it did not, the Europeans would have reach peak population at some point and colonized all of Africa as they did the Americas. South Africa would have only been the beginning, and as soon as they discovered Quinine, millions of peasants would have flooded in making the conquest of the Americas look like a picnic.

Tl;dr, White people are better organized and we are lucky they found the Americas more to their liking.

but they did

Where did they discover

@Dhoobe

Yes, but in the Islamic World they never produced someone like John Locke who was accepted/admired by the political elite. Western political institutions had a head start because they got rid of religious dogma a long time ago.

Muslims collected knowledge from Greece, Roman empire etc.
