Please bear in mind this is not a political post. The point of this is not to "discuss" (shudder...), particularly collateral issues like gun control or symbols of racism (the Confederate Battle Flag). This is an address to White Supremacists, which the author sincerely doubts one will read. But you never know...
So, White Makes Right? That's the general idea behind White Superiority, ain't it? Whites Are Better!
How? I mean that sincerely.
Physically?
I'm not really sure how that claim can be made. In the United States, it's fairly well understood that if you're talking about top-flight athletes, Blacks tend to fill up the lists of greatest athletes in our traditional sports (sorry, soccer, you're not in that group yet). Are we really going to argue this? Surely not. If you want to be taken seriously, you can't try to point out Larry Bird, or Larry Csonka, or Rocky Marciano or some such outlier in sports that multiple races participate to a meaningful degree (sorry, Ice Hockey).
I mean, to be fair, I think saying one race is physically more gifted than another becomes an exercise in picking and choosing, but if we're going to be troglodytes about it, I think Whites lose on this. And if you're going to point to soccer and Europe, or maybe the Winter Olympics, um...your head is way too far up your butt to have any "discussion" (shudder) or "conversation" (shudder). But that's kinda the point. You're a dumbass.
Additionally, and to be very "real", if you're talking about the United States, Blacks and Whites as a whole appear to be equally fat and on the road to early death from coronary disease. Is "we're less fat" really the argument you want to go with?
Also, I mean, if you're not an amazing specimen, what the hell sense does it make to point out great athletes who share your race that you would be embarrassed to be placed next to? "The Mountain" on Game of Thrones is White. He's 6'9" and nearly 400lbs of terrifying muscle. I'm 6'2" and about 230lbs of jiggly. I'm not even ripping on myself. For an average American, I ain't so bad. But I don't think "I ain't so bad" can be teased out to, "Everyone with my skin pigmentation is better than others whose are different."
If you're a fat, dumpy mess and you're talking up how White athletes are the best, that's kinda like the sad sack 45yo office drone bragging about how "*We* are the champs!" after the team he roots for wins the Super Bowl. He didn't do squat. He just had a loose affiliation. I mean, that happens all the time, but it's idiotic, childish, and, frankly, sad.
Mentally?
I honestly don't get this at all. I happen to believe that a vast majority of all people, regardless of skin color are idiots. And guess what? Nearly everyone of every skin color agrees with that. So then what you're really saying is that White people have the smartest smart people.
For the same reasons I just talked about above, if you're not one of the smartest smart people, that position is idiotic, childish, and sad. If you're really a White Supremecist and want to go that route anyway, you're going to have a hard time, because you don't get to count Einstein or any other Jewish folks, of course. Percentage wise, on the Smartest Smart Folks to General Population ratio, Jews blow Whitey out the water. There are , of course, non-racial superiority reasons for that, but it's just not arguable. And let's not do test scores, particularly for American Whites vs. other races.
It appears that, for the most part, if a human is born with the gift of mega-intellectual ability AND it is nourished by friends, family, and culture, AND he/she pushes him/herself AND he/she catches a break, then any particularly-colored person can vault into the intellectual stratosphere.
Culturally?
Usually, this is really what you're talking about when you say Whites Are Better, right? I mean, the other races are savages, correct? What's the positive, better aspect of the White Culture, though? Surely not that we are less barbaric? I mean, Whites are responsible for the Holocaust (and wiping out the American Indians). That's not great. Whites enslaved blacks (and American Indians, and virtually enslaved Indian Indians for a great many years). Not great.
But, of course, far from thinking those are negatives, you think those are the primary example of how Whites Are Better, because when Whites went up against other races, they came out ahead. I'm not sure that's really "culture" of course.
That was numbers (in the case of the Jews and American Indians) or technology (in the case of the Indian Indians and American Indians and others). Race really doesn't have much to do with that. Genghis Khan and the Mongol Hordes had better technology and annihilated everyone of every race they came up against for a very long time.
Even among whites, when one group has a numbers advantage and equal technology, or smaller numbers and better technology, that group wins. Then you have to start talking about which white people are better than other white people and you start saying very strange things like, "the Irish aren't really white".
But, anyway, a lot of the argument will attempt to point out how "less developed" the other races are.
Let's look at this little White Supremacist Chicken@#$! who just murdered nine people in my hometown.
Was he a great warrior/athlete? No. He's a scrawny little jackass who used a gun to murder people, including women, who could not fight back. He also told a survivor he was going to commit suicide and then didn't have the balls to go through with it. Real impressive there, yeah...
Was he a genius? I guarantee he wasn't smarter than most, if not any, in that church that he murdered. Every picture posted of him seems to have the annoyed/vacant look of the perpetually, intentionally, proudly ignorant.
Was he more accomplished? It doesn't sound like he had a job. Reports are, he mostly played video games.
Was he more sophisticated or more developed culturally? HE WENT INTO A CHURCH, A PLACE OF WORSHIP, WHERE HE WAS WELCOMED IN, AND THEN MURDERED UNARMED PEOPLE. The argument for White Superiority used to be the "Truth" of the Christian Religion. Whitey had it, and the other races didn't, so that's what made us better and God Was/Is On Our Side. The little dippoop pretty much vacated that argument, agreed?
I've met a number of white supremacists in my day. I have yet to meet one who not only isn't smarter, more accomplished, or more of a warrior than I am/was (not trying to toot my own horn, just saying for the point of this because I'm mega-super-duper-phenomenally white), but isn't really mostly a spoiled, narcissistic moron. Far from being exemplars proving whites are better, every white supremacist I've ever met makes whites look dumb and inferior.
So, White Makes Right? That's the general idea behind White Superiority, ain't it? Whites Are Better!
