In truth white people stole culture from ancient Egypt (black Africans) but then they lost it in the dark ages caused by white people. The Moors who were black Africans took this culture back until the renaissance and white conquest of Iberia, when white people appropriated black culture again and claimed it as theirs in spite of having nothing to do with it in the first place. Then white people stole the land and resources of the native Americans and the labor of Africans to create the prosperity they enjoy today...at others'expense. Wnd then all modern music such as rock are stolen from black artists as if people of color haven't suffered enough.

This is a well established truth and I think that the only reason anyone has to deny it is racism. But some people who disagree might just be ignorant. What do you think nsg?


So what about Germanic culture that sprang from Germania which never came in contact with Egyptians. Came in contact with the Romans who came in contact with the Egyptians. But most Germanic-Roman contact involved more fighting and bloodshed than the exchange of ideas. Or what about Native American Culture, or Chinese, Hunnic, Indonesian, Aztec, Mayan, Sumerian, Indian?


And there is no one white culture nor is Egypt the wel-spring of all civilization, since Mesopotamia goes back farther than Egypt. And there are different cultures all around the world. On every continent, and we still aren't sure which is the oldest. So check your facts before you start claiming racism and ignorance.
Proud advocate that Europe stands stronger together than divided. The EU may be flawed in some areas but the idea of a united Europa can only bring good fortune to Europe and the world. For more than two thousand years, Europe was home to conflicts inspired by coveting one another's territory and resources, even making the continent the home to some of the world's most destructive and costly conflicts. But the idea was all wrong in their minds. Their idea was to bring this territory or that under their flag and spread influence on the continent. The idea they should all have been thinking was that the goal should be to bring the continent under one unified flag.

I'm not arguing that Germanic Culture was the first to arise, cause it certainly wasn't but Egyptian culture certainly didn't birth all civilization. There are cultures all over the world and like I've said, we still don't know which was the first. Maybe there was no first, I mean we don't even know if the modern human even first appeared on the African continent. They could've already been in the America's which is highly likely since how else could there have been anyone in the America's before European's arrived if they hadn't already been there.

Well it's definitely biased because the OP didn't even put a neither option in the poll so anyone that votes can only be someone that agrees. No option to disagree.

Well, it took some quick thinking, a couple of quick horses, and an insane amount of beer... which, by the way, lacked hops back them and it tasted quite horrible.

Also, I still wonder how I did it without Her Farnsh... er... Inanna noticing. I might suppose she was busy with something more interesting than an old half-crazy artisan in Uruk, but experience taught me it's never a good idea trying to guess what Inanna's exact business was.

Eh, well, people were bored back then. Not a lot to do besides farmwork and dying, y'know? So they gave their kids weird names and started making beer.

I don't think a response is required but

1. OP appears to have overlooked Arabs, while I'm not an expert in Egyptian history I am pretty sure they have a major role in it compared to white people

2. When people say "white culture" I imagine European culture, particularly food and clothes. OP implies German sausages and Estonian traditional dresses were originally from ancient Egypt

3. "Cis-het white male" heterosexual isn't exactly a word I'd pair with ancient Greece... might as well throw in the word "wealthy"

4. I guess we need to ask: is race a social construct? Because I heavily doubt Bosnians and Serbs see each other as part of the same "white" race

5. "My nation/sociocultural demographic invented everything good and important in this world but no one knows about it" is a theme I see quite often in my RL country - one that I'm getting tired of - and this is what OP appears to be saying
