societies can die, even Rome fell. Ur is lost to history, Troy was sacked, Machu Pichu has been reclaimed by the jungle, and the entire civilization of Persia has been consumed by mohammedanism, leaving only a steaming pile of scat in the place of one of the longest lasting and most influential cultures in history.
this does NOT mean those societies were populated with inferior peoples, it means they got their asses kicked by a more aggressive, technologically superior competitor.
FAILED societies are the ones which are moribund, bringing nothing of value to the endless march of civilization, and even those societies are not made up of inferior people, just inferior cultural imperatives.
sub saharan africa, and in fact all black african cultures are simply footnotes, quaint examples of backward social structures, retrograde technology, and ultimately, failure. when black african societies embrace modern science technology and societal norms, they advance, often at an alarming rate, until some shitheel asshole who longs for the ridiculous superstitions and magical thinking of the past throws a coup d' etat and reignites the tribal feuds and baby rape traditions of the not so distant past.
this does not imply that africa is the sole proprietor of shitheels or power hungry assholes, europe has had more than a few (Edward Longshanks, Napoleon, Mussolini, pretty much every Pope ever, etc) asia has had a bunch (Mao and Pol Pot spring to mind) and so has latin america (castro, guevara, peron, chavez etc).
the difference between success and failure in every society clearly lies with the reaction to technological change and progress at the heart of the society. new ideas, new technologies and even new religions were embraced by the persian empire, rome, the greeks, ancient china, and every other society that has ever actually left a positive influence on civilization, while failed societies are the ones which resist new ideas, technologies and advancement based solely on their mistaken belief that they are already the ideal, and thus any change will naturally be for the worse.
it is chauvinism, and a faulty assumption of perfection within a society that leads to stagnation and eventual ruin.
in these retrograde societies, every new idea is relentlessly repressed, all dissent is beaten down in favour of blind traditionalism and dogmatic religious beliefs, and yes this does include a number of american "conservative" groups.
real conservatism asks the proponent of a new idea "Show me how this is better, and convince me i should change", while moribund unthinking fools insist "Our shit is perfect already, by the grace of god, and anything new is an abomination!"
when a society becomes dominated by fools who believe they already has acheived the pinnacle of civilization and technology, thats when they stop advancing and start declining.
the only quicker road to disaster is embracing bullshit ideas that are proved to be failures, and insisting that it only failed because The Right People werent involved last time (which again demonstrates Chauvinism)
thus we can clearly see, i hold NO common ground with your racist ideals, since i KNOW a black man can be every bit as smart, successful and ethical as any european, asian or chicano, but instead find the flaw in african societies' tribalism, and chauvinism, the belief in one's own innate superiority, and the blind faith that this superiority will result in success, no matter how carelessly you play the game.
chauvinism is the flip-side of bigotry, since if one is simply superior, all those outside your group of presumably superior beings must necessarily be inferior, likewise if everyone else is inferior (the core of bigotry), this naturally leads to the assumption that you must be superior.
your bigotry is obvious, while your chauvinism is poorly concealed, and it all rides on the well worn rails of race, rather than the undeniable facts of culture and social imperative.
i got a little chauvinism myself, in that i believe european cultures and social norms are superior, but i am always out to PROVE it, not simply asserting it's superiority, and trusting in european culture to succeed without any help from it's constituent members.
thats how shit gets done, while you rest on the dubious laurels of your "genetic intellectual superiority", and assert that you are simply better than people of african heritage, because you had the good fortune to be born into a society that isnt tearing itself apart, and wallowing in it's own crapulence.
TLDR Version:
no, because im not a racist.
i think european society and culture is superior, not european people. anyone can embrace european culture, in whole or in part, regardless of their race or skin colour.
i am a cultural chauvinist, you are just a bigot.
