White People are the minority on Earth, yet they have all the power. How?

[Archangel]

If you want to generically break down the worlds ethnic groups into "people of color" and "white", white people are the overwhelming minority.

A simple definition for “person of color” provided by the Oxford University Press dictionary is “a person who is not white or of European parentage.

The term “people of color” includes Asian Americans | The Ithacan

And the percentage of white people in the world is expected to decrease dramatically by 2060.

White people make up maybe 9-13 % of the worlds population and that number is either a few points higher or lower depending on who you ask. Its definitely not above 15%. That's crazy. That means that "people of color", africans, hispanics, asians, etc. make up about 87% of the world.

Now many don't know how to categorize mixed people. Is a mixed person with black & white parents considered white or black? The mixed population is categorized with whom? People of color or white? But I digress.

How did Europeans conquer a world being the minority? How do they continue to stay in power when their numbers have decreased significantly from about 35% in 1900 to below 15% today.

Just something I was thinking about today.

GUNS. GUNS are the answer to your questions. THEY got their hands on guns FIRST and were able to take over shyt and establish them selves all while building up their weaponry while keeping others down.

Also don't ever under estimate their ability and desire to commit evil acts with no remorse. And for no reason other than greed

Only 0.1% of White People got power. 10% follow those in power and influence the rest of the percentage.

What does it say about us that we're unable to seize power from a small/smaller group of people?

Didn't the Chinese invent gunpowder? If your premise is factual, then its crazy how Europeans trading with China way back then kind of set them up for such power.

Genjutsu or illusion. Also a REEEEEEAAAALLLYYY good public relations machine.

Also killing or ridiculing or socially punishing anyone who disagrees.

Language ownership.

Viciousness and savagery towards themselves and others.

Stolen knowledge and cultural appropriation of resources and wisdom from people who were too nice for their own good or who were living sustainably and prosperously so there wasn't any need to invent advanced weaponry or migrate to other countries and kill, torture, or rape the indigenous populations.

Massive environmental, biological and mental insecurities that drive them to extreme lengths to thrive by any means necessary.

Control over mediums used to convince subjugated populations of their lies while keeping their own evils hidden.

Introduction of drugs and other vices or dysfunctions to weaken colonized populations.

And when all that doesn't work, just outright destroy any thriving communities others may have.

Wanna rule the world? Welp, there's ur recipe. War, murder, lies, rape, torture, indoctrination, coercion, hypocrisy.
Good luck.

This is the subliminal question I was asking in my op as well. Was hoping others would ask themselves this question the same as I did.

Well, think about it: The earth has been "ruled" by various races, tribes, etc since travel became a thing, especially seafaring. What we are in now is basically the Euro man's turn running things, and
his turn happens to coincide with the greatest technological revolutions in human history. Add European imperialism, and the subsequent move from barter and trade to economies of scale
ran on tens of thousands of laws, revolving around Fiat currency, housed by the largest "banks" that have control over the worlds wealth...thats how. Basically, if you want any major change, it would
require the worlds other economies catching up, or the system collapsing.

Remember, though, there will *always* be super fukking rich people, but the majority of the wealth white people hold today would turn to shyt if the economy did a moonwalk over hot coals.

To be honest I don't know who created guns/powder. It doesn't really matter though because once it was in the hands of Europeans it was over. Their inherent evil + weapons was a recipe for chaos.
