95% of the inventions and innovations are European and 5% are everyone else so it wasn't only Europeans contributing.

I don't like the "color" words for race. I think that terms like "white," "black," "yellow," "red," and "brown" are very reductive, inaccurate, and misleading. The use of the word "white" to mean exclusively European, for example, neglects to take into account the considerable gene flow between Europe, West Asia, and North Africa. If Arabs, Iranians, and Turks are "brown," then so are many Portuguese, Spaniards, Italians, South Slavs, Albanians, Greeks, and certain other peoples; and, by the same token, if all of the latter peoples are "white," wouldn't that make West Asians and North Africans white as well? It is strange to me that relatively dark-skinned natives of Europe and relatively light-skinned natives of the Middle East are put into different racial categories for the most arbitrary of reasons.

Anyway, I don't think even Steve King would deny that these non-Western cultures made important contributions; what I think he believes is that only the West was able to synthesize all these disparate influences into a modernized whole. And I think he would also prefer that, however much we have assimilated non-European technological and cultural innovations, we should not be assimilating so many of the people themselves. We have made coffee our own, he might say, so we do not need to bring Arabs and Turks over to America to instruct us on how to best brew coffee; and we have made fireworks our own, so we do not need to invite Chinese people over to give us advice on the best fireworks displays. All that said, though, in his book GUNS, GERMS AND STEEL anthropologist Jared Diamond admitted that the great majority of contributions to what we call "civilization" came from the Northern Hemisphere, east of the Prime Meridian, and west of the International Date Line. So this is the question I am always prepared to ask: What are the innovations that sub-Saharan Africans, Adivasi (peoples indigenous to the Deccan peninsula of the Indian subcontinent), Australian Aborigines, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans contributed to Western culture prior to the 16th century, except for the food (corn, peanuts, etc.)?

The sad part is that this shouldn't have to be said. The reality is that all of mankind contributed to our current civilization, and that should be largely understood in this day and age, but some people insist on this white supremacy bullshit to which there is no solid evidence.

From the top of my head, I can cite at least ten Arabic and Indian mathematicians, some African philosophers, tons of Asian engineers (from all parts of Asia), and at least two important Amerindian political leaders. I'm not very knowledgeable about other human populations (like Maoris and Eskimos), but I'm certain they must also have their influence on our current civilization, and even if they don't, they still deserve respect and inclusion.

Just to make it clear. One, I don't claim superiority for any ehtnic group, race, or religion. For those who don't study any anthropology however. It is important to realize the geographic locations we know today in North Africa and "the Middle East'' do not fit our modern terms today as people have moved and settled. In addition, egyptians, iranians, turks, persians etc. were white, aka caucusoid or indo european. Mediterranean We mold ethnic groups groups today by location for whatever reason instead of ancestry and anthropology. There were nubians in Egypt. Generally as slaves. As were jews. But to paint them as arab or subsaharan African is a misrepresentation. Arabs are still largely in Arabia. And are not a race. Ever wonder why its not a choice on tests or paperwork? Arabs are white as are most middlr eastern people. However due to PREJUDICE they are not granted the same status because of religous and cultural choices. If you do your research you will see how quickly alt-rights and racists are to dismiss them as white. When in fact, they are legally and genetically. You can even see it with a quick search or visit. Today or historically.

Sorry, but what he said is still correct on it's face. When you consider the volume of contribution it may not please you to hear but it is absolutely true that Europeans contributed more to humanity than any other subgroup of people. Facts are facts. That doesn't mean other civilizations or cultures have no value, it just means you're absolutely wrong. If you put European contributions to human civilization on a list and compared it to East Asian or any other region of peoples, Europeans are hands down the winners. Sorry, but it is what it is.

The white, and white – like, rulers and ruling elite in the former lands of black civilizations, are not who they claim to be.

Specifically those of egypt are NOT egyptians, those of north africa are NOT berbers, those of arabia are NOT arabs, those of palestine are NOT hebrews, those of lebanon are NOT phoenicians, those of iraq are NOT mesopotamian's, those of iran are NOT persians or elamites, those of turkey are NOT anatolians – THEY ARE ALL CENTRAL ASIAN TURKS !

That said with the understanding that in earlier times, Greeks and Romans settled in these areas: and in North Africa, they were followed by Alan's, Vandals, and Goths.

And also in the 19th, century, french and I
Italians invaded, and settled in north africa. And with the understanding that when the turks of the ottoman empire, relinquished hegemony over those lands after WW I, they and the european powers, merely handed control over to local turk elites.

I'm sorry to disagree with you but the Chinese did not invent gunpowder. The Chinese invented something that they used for what we call today 'gun powder tea'. The Chinese 'gunpowder' was not of the good quality as the whites (real) gunpowder and according to many it wast really 'gunpowder' at all because the Chinese 'gunpowder' did not even have the quality to actually fire..a gun…

I'm not saying todays whites are better then todays non-whites but 95% of all inventions ever created came from white people and 99% of the inventions that allow us to live the way we do came from white people. so peanut butter, drums, coffee and all these kinds of 'inventions' don't have any influence on how we live today…the entire west would be exactly in the same situation without these 'inventions'

no hate but you seem to be one of those people who be like : WAH WAH pharaohs where black, moors brought civilization to the world, white people stole everything WAH WAH even though there are no indications that any of this is true.

so if white people had nothing but everybody else did, how come 7% of the world population can colonize and kill the rest of the world while the vast 93% majority ALSO happened to be 'technologically superior'? and how do all of these technological advancement magically disappear somehow?

europe was COMPLETELY destroyed in ww1 and ww2 there was not 1 brick standing after ww2 but they where on top AGAIN in only 25 years while china has been around for 50k years and africa for 150k years who's stuff did they steal this time? and europe's technological advancements didn't magically disappear after europe had been destroyed…

so again, no hate here, but I'm white and getting sick and tired that non-whites keep bashing whites for everything we did. while non-whites did the same!

every race did slavery and colonization, whites where just better at it!!!

GO TRUMP!!!

DEMOCRACY

SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

RENAISSANCE

CAPITALISM

MASS PRODUCTION

SHALL I GO ON???

As you can see, white western civilization has contributed quite a bit to Egyptian and Chinese civilization.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who discovered a way to harness electricity, and spread this magic throughout the earth, to every country, even into outer space?

ANSWER:
White men.

Who invented cell phones, and put them in the hands of Ethiopians?

ANSWER:
White men.

White men have given more to the world, than they could ever take back in return.

Regarding slavery, whites were not big players in global slavery, especially in comparison to the Arabs and Sub Saharan Africans. The Trans Atlantic slave trade pales in comparison to the Trans Saharan slave trade, which lasted for 1400 years.

In comparison, U.S. slavery only lasted 89 years (1776 -1865) even though blacks were slaves to black, natives and mostly whites for a total of 245 years.

Also, during slavery, 99% of whites did not own a single slave.

Whites did not start slavery, but they were the first to stop it.

Something is different about your channel lately. Maybe it' the scope of the topics, or your general tone… I'm not necessarily saying it is a bad thing.
