In this page, the main racist arguments are going to be presented in order to proove that they are wrong. We will propose counter-arguments which have never been contradicted, instead racists ran away from it ignoring our points. This clearly shows who is wrong. But we show them here for you so you can make up your own opinion yourself. If there is any statement that we haven't put in this site, please email us so we can add them here and answer them. Also if you have any other opinion go ahead and email us.
A racist claims:"White men are superior because they are the most advanced civilization in the world."
Implications:
Such a statement implies that white people have always been superior since they can't be inferior in the past and then superior in the present. If a race is superior it has to be superior throughout the whole History of Humankind.
Also, according to this, superiority is prooven with (scientifical, technological...) advances. Thus the most advanced culture is supposedly superior.
It is true that the most advanced civilization is the North-American/Western European/Australia... one but this is a fact that has not always been true.
Counter-arguments:
In Antiguity, Chinese culture was the most advanced (militarely and technologicaly) one having the largest empire (yes larger than the Roman) and by having come up with the highest amount of inventions it became the most technologicaly advanced culture.
The problem with the above point is that few westerners know about China. But still another very good counter-argument can be found in the Middle Ages, where Arabics and European cultures clashed in many occasions.
In this period of History, from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Renaissance, Arabs have been the most advanced. More advanced on Medicine, on Mathematics with the creation of the currently used numerical sequence (1,2,3,4,5...)-among other mathematical achievements- and their military technology, way superior to the Europeans, helpt them to take over the Spanish peninsula for several centuries, take over the most protected city back then, Constantinople, and also defeat the Westerners in the Crusades.
In no way does this page pretend that white people, or any other people, is inferior.
Therefore...
If a race is superior, it must have been superior throughout History. How could a "superior" race be that if it was inferior (least dominant) or equal to another previously? Therefore for this racist argument to be true, white people must have been superior since the begining of time.
According to this racialist argument, the fact that a civilisation is more advanced (scientificaly, technologicaly...) "prooves" that it is superior to another. Therefore, white people were always more advanced than others.
But after seeing that Chinese and Arabic (non-whites) culture had been more advanced and/or more dominant in certain periods of History, it follows that white people were not the most advanced (thus not superior according to this racist argument's implication). If white people were not superior, they are not today either because one group of people can not be inferior and then later superior.
This counter-argument also applies to any other race or culture that declares itself superior to white or others. There is no superior race.
More...
So as we have seen, a certain human culture sometimes manages to become "more advanced" than others. This is an undisputable fact. But to conlcude from this that such a culture is superior is plainly stupid. Apart from this counter-argument we can also notice the following historical fact:
Since "La Renaissance" when white culture started being the most powerful, the dominant nation did not have an ever lasting lead among those countries. At one point France was the most advanced country and as a result of that many french words began to be used in other languages such as dutch or spanish...French were the most advanced but then suddenly their might began to go down the hills and British got the first place. Since then onwards english words began to put their first feet in other european languages.
As we see in this fact, the most advanced culture always manages to incorporate a lot of words of its own tongue into other's culture's dialect or language. Today we see a lot of USA's Enlgish words in Dutch, German, French...Prooving that the US is the most advanced nation. But as we just discovered, the "most dominant" country's rank changes through time. It used to be Arabs, then Spanish, then French, then British...
Some racists might say that both French and British belong to the white race so the evidence that one of them was once the most advanced does not mean that back then white people were not most dominant as they are today. In reply to this, I would ask the following question: How come, if superiority is based on the person's genes and considering that French and British people are of the identical race, therefore with the same genes, was one of these countries more advanced than the other? Shouldn't they all be equally dominant?
An US racist and nationalist might reply :Well anyways, I believe US people are superior to French and British. Well the first counter-argument is needed again here to shed some light. If the USA is superior why wasn't it the most advanced, therefore superior, country before? If a nation is superior it must have been so since the first time it began being a country. We should remind them that the USA are the most relevant power since the end of WWII but earlier than that European nations were the main force in the world!
