No, that would be Europe because european civilisation was the only proper civilisation in history of humanity. All before that was primitive.

Without Mesopotamia there would be no wheel, no cars, no bikes, no trains, and you disappoint your European forefathers, Europe's a proper noun, capitalise its adjective form too.
I suppose you are talking about the cradle of civilisation, but I'm going to mention Indus and China anyway because they were certainly prior to Renaissance Europe not primitive, Indus had little probably no evidence of war and had plumbing, later Indians and the Chinese discovered Pascal's triangle 2 centuries prior to Blaise Pascal's birth and one of the most revered civilisation of all time; Egypt was not European (before Alexander the Great and the later Romans at least).

Really doubtful. It is also not sure if the Mesapotamians invented the wheel, it is just that the earliest wheel is found in that region. So no. The rest what you mentioned was invented long after they were extinct and were invented by Europeans. Unfortunately, if wasnt the good old Bismarck and the 2nd Reich the cars would be invented probably in 500 years or so.

I really dont care since english is not my first language. Let us rather speak in german or some other language.

Yes, and they even land on the Moon before the Americans did. It is because just as you said: they were far more advanced before anybody else.

Good. Unfortunately for them, the Europeans had to rediscovered and teach them their own science. Oh, really this Indos and Chinese are really brilliant.Damn, I am so fasciiiiiiiiiiiiinated.

Look, India and China were third world countries who were ruled by crazy religious autocrats. They had a primitive society where the people throw spears on each others. Colonisation was the best things what happened to them because it brought them from their Dark Ages. The same goes for Africa and America.

You should tried harder to present thoose tribesman as something relevant.

LOGIC

It is just that the renaissance inherit the knowledge from the Middle Ages.

The Middle ages inherit the knowledge from the Romans (feudalism for example started in late roman period)

Contrary to the propaganda, we live in probably the least materialistic culture in history. If we cared about the things of the world, we would treat them quite differently. We would be concerned with their materiality. We would be interested in their beginnings and their ends, before and after they left our grasp.

Probably by not caring? By not giving a shit about why other people (ir)rationally dislike you? I've been called a Kike and Yid before and I don't care. Unless you're being physically assaulted, suck it up.

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

I'm pretty sure Deutsch/German is also a proper noun, and therefore capitalised in both languages.

Oh I'm sorry, did the USA land on the moon during the time the Mesopotamians existed or at least renaissance Europe as you so claim? They landed last century, Europe is not the cradle of civilisation, most archaeologists agree it was Turkey/the Middle East were the first cities were built, the wheel was invented in Ancient Sumer, without that important invention, there would be no planes, trains or automobiles.

Still doesn't make them the cradle, many civilisations; the Mesopotamians, the Chinese, the Egyptians, the Indians, the Indus were more advanced than the Europeans they coexisted with, you are seriously comparing modern Europe to ancient non-European civilisations. How can the USA be the cradle of civilisation and not Mesopotamia if there was civilisation before the USA? You can't compare the two. Now before you say I've done the same, I have merely stated it took longer for Europeans to discover Pascal's triangle while the Indians and Chinese discovered it quicker, that is basically saying, the ancient Chinese and Indians were more advanced than the Europeans that existed with them, not comparing modern Europe to ancient China/India or vice versa, I'm making two comparisons in one, you are directly comparing a modern civilisation; the USA with an ancient one; Mesopotamia.

Tamper with their family tree and show them "proof" that their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was black.

Racism is something learned through experience by parents or first-hand. The only real thign you can do is educate your children otherwise.
