I wish I hadn't return to this thread, the new comments that have followed in my absence have left me completely flabbergasted. This notion that cultural values is somehow derived from the genes that determine one's own race is so false that I'm honestly questioning retiring from coli all together because you literally have to be retarded to believe such a thing. Yes, western culture is superior, however, that has nothing to do with biology. Much of what makes up Western civilization came from outside of it, specifically, from the Middle East and Asia.
>The game of chess came from India, gunpowder from China, and various mathematical concepts from the Islamic world, for example. The conquest of Spain by Muslims in the eighth century A.D. made Spain a center for the diffusion into Western Europe of the more advanced knowledge of the Mediterranean world and of the Orient in astronomy, medicine, optics, and geometry. The later rise of Western Europe to world preeminence in science and technology built upon these foundations, and then the science and technology of European civilization began to spread around the world, not only to European offshoot societies such as the United States or Australia but also to non-European cultures, of which Japan is perhaps the most striking example.
The transfer of cultural advances from one race/civilization to another has been a common phenomena throughout the history of the human race. Such a thing would not occur IF cultures were equal. And another thing, the fact that ideas of racial inferiority and superiority enter so many posters minds when I see culture discussed on this site says a lot about what those posters think of blacks rather than what the opposite side thinks.
