Dar - As far as Todd's statement, it's opinion. The fact is that whites have statistically been on top in the US and Europe in recent history. How they got there is a matter of opinion. There are many factors - too many for discussion here. To suggest that it's only because of wrong doing is pathetic and spurious. Whites haven't always been on top. The Chinese have dominated. Egypt dominated. Spain dominated. We happen to be doing well now.

No one has written that one can do anything other than playing the hand you're dealt. But it is disingenuous to suggest that the advantages in this country (what the thread was originally about) were once Chinese, or Egyptian, or Spanish. Furthermore, it flies in the face of written history to suggest that Todd's observations are opinion rather than fact. Why don't you read the link that I supplied. Kind of hard to have your gold claim taken away by fiat, or only allowed to play on one side of town (or get lynched). Or not be able to own land. You think writing laws to do these type of activities is not wrong-doing?

BTW Chinese, Japanese, or Indian (etc) folks have oppressed others, even their own. That's not what the thread is about or what this discussion is about.
