Oh yes I truly would support white history month on any month…because while people and western societies built the world you take for granted

But again that’s another topic

I don't think that's another topic at all. I think that's the point you had in mind when you made this topic.

For example Reparations are ridiculous. My fam moved from Greece in the 1950s so why should I have to pay?

You’ll notice…that I am not even allowed to APPRECIATE White History month….not without this person weeping and wailing

I simply cannot appreciate the people who contributed the dna helix, space travel, the internet, modern agriculture, penicillin or anything else…I MUST be just a jerk for even CONSIDERING appreciating these accomplishments which the whole world benefits from

Watch closely the pathological way of thinking

It’s sick

Well, like you said about the atrocities... whoever was in power would have made these discoveries. It's not like people's skin color helped them discover DNA or compelled them to commit genocide. Humans do good and bad things. Humans in power do more of both.

He is obviously upset with you, making him more apt to challenge anything you say.

Certain societies have never done anything of note

Even in the modern day they flounder

The systems of culture from Greece to Rome to Britain is what have those people the ability to discover things like DNA

The evolution of a superior society

I don't think he's upset with me at all, and I don't mind if he challenges what I say.

And maybe more importantly, the point of a provocative topic is to encourage bickering. A much better critique of my posts is that I shouldn't bother because people who participate in such topics aren't interested in changing their minds, they vent some emotions, copy-paste some rhetoric, and then move on.

i see that peet is still arguing, even after getting blocked from the global warming forum

You made it provocative

It should be COMMON SENSE to celebrate the accomplishments of the people I mentioned

Who in their right mind wouldn’t?

You want to make it about what you want to make it about then point your finger at me and say “Look what this person is doing”

Keep it going guys ! 👍

Well, a society doesn't prosper on people alone. Natural resources count for a lot, particularly in pre-modern times.

Anyway, someone had to be first so to speak. We can't all discover penicillin. And when you're first, your population becomes richer, healthier, etc and are positioned to make more discoveries. And when you do really well you can even write history books... which means we don't need white history month (at least not in the US) because every month is white history month.

I won’t ban llama even though he is both willfully derailing and has been insulting and a shove in nearly every post thus far

I’m not weak like some others here
