Nice subject change.(Modern) Liberalism is Communism
Do you agree the white people invented communism, socialism AND nazism? Yes or no?
Nice subject change.(Modern) Liberalism is Communism
Libs will self-destruct by inviting Muslims and other incompatible cultures that will destroy their fairy tales. I don't believe in biological races in the human species but extended phenotype is real and has material consequences.Not sure what the men/ women comment had to do with anything. The blank slate piece is important. Do you think certain races inherently have better ideas than others? If so, how can you reconcile that idea with not being a racial supremecist of some kind? For example, if Liberalism is very good for advancement and flourishing, but white people are those who inherently carry this idea, why do you not claim that race to be better? If ideas are tied to race, would best ideas help determine best race?

To emphasize that there are innate differences between people. If you agree that there are innate differences between men and women, what makes you think that there are no innate differences between different human subpopulations that adapted and evolved in different environments under different selective pressures?Last post you brought up difference in men/ women.
why not? Just because I don't believe in biological human races doesn't mean everyone is innately the same. Small genetic differences can cause significant behavioral and physical effects. Why do you think blacks are overrepresented among the best Olympic sprinters? Why do you think whites are overrepresented among Nobel prize winners?I don’t see how you can reconcile the two views you presented. You might have to reread my post but it ended with “If ideas are tied to race, would best ideas help determine best race?” You now say you don’t believe in biographical races but made a comment whites made liberalism and liberalism will disappear if whites disappear. These comments aren’t adding up.
Why do you think whites are overrepresented among Nobel prize winners?

Why are we back to saying terms like white and black if you are dismissing biological race? Was there a point in bringing up extended phenotype if it’s getting back to the same discussion?why not?

I think that also is wrong or at least poorly defined. Even if narrowed to “black (or African American culture”, it isn’t true all are descendents of American slaves (vast majority though) but more accurate adding American in. Still would stand a black person somewhere else in the world has a completely different culture than one in say Georgia.People might point to "black culture" as the counterpoint, but that comparison doesn't make sense on several levels. There are a lot more diversity and number of people among "white people." Lot less black people than white in America and they all have the same origins - the descendants of American slaves. Also refers to the Hip Hop influence.

For hip-hop, that furthers the point in how dumb it is for a race to specifically have a culture. Other races listen and perform hip hop. Same with rap or Jazz or blues. That isn’t to undermine their histories but it just isn’t racially exclusive.
All of these cultures were considered white by everybody outside of some stupid early 20th century Americans."white culture" is not a thing
there are no historical examples, or periods of time, or any kind of precedent whatsoever, for a thing called "white culture"
"whiteness" or being "white" is an idea that is only defined by exclusion - i.e. who is not white, is all that defines whiteness
To the ignorant and the dishonest, in their mind, "white culture" is the collective culture of all people with "white skin".
They want to talk about it like this objective thing, but history has proved whiteness is always changing and not some static objective concept.
Does your "white culture" include the Irish? What about Greeks, and Italians? Was the Roman empire white? Was classical Greece white?
If you say yes, it's just an objective fact that those groups were not considered white until within the last 1-2 centuries. So "white culture" isn't so objective, is it?
What about today? Are Albanians white? Are Serbs? Are Croatians? Are Basque people white? Their skin is white, so are they part of this "white culture"?
There is of course Irish culture, English culture, French culture, Italian culture, Scandinavian culture, German culture, Spanish culture, Russian culture, etc. Which of these cultures are "white" and which are not, is ever-changing.
So when you actually understand these concepts of whiteness and "white culture", as they exist in the real world, it becomes obvious why Grimes' tweet is problematic - "white culture" is not a thing and it has never existed.
Now, I'm willing to bet that Grimes is just a well-meaning ignorant normie, and in her mind "white culture" is just the collection of cultures of people with white skin, and that she is not dog-whistling white supremacist virtue signals.
Most world changing ideas come from Europe and their former colonies. Good or bad.Nice subject change.

Who’s we?Dude... we passed you guys up many years ago. We thank you for your contributions in the 1400s
She’s so proud she deleted the tweet?
Seriously though. She shouldn’t generalize like that.
Its is equally as stupid, there are obviously many "white, Asian and black cultures" . Russian culture is different from Portuguese culture it should be obvious to everyone.Nobody seems to care about generalization about "Asian Culture" or "Black Culture," even those are equally if not more ridiculous generalizations.

Capitalism, Republicanism, Democracy. Anarchism, Communism, Fascism, Nazism.
I struggle to think of a throughly Asian or African ideology that has been important in a worldwide scale since the 20th century. Maybe if we get very specific such as Maoism, but that's just Communism.
