White people did invent
White people did invent Everything! Except for Slavery,we can thank Blacks and Arabs for that. The Department of African American Studies at most universitys have been notorious for their ideological narrowness, their racism, and their lack of credible scholarship – all present from the moment it was conceived as a department. But it has always been protected by the leftist leadership, fearful of applying credible academic standards to this racial fiefdom. Several books have been written about the travesty of African American Studies Department by eminent classical scholars from across the political spectrum. These books have demonstrated the fraudulent nature of its scholarship and of its central doctrine of “Afro-centricity,†which has been exposed as a racist idea based on made-up history. The most famous of these authorities, Mary Lefkowitz, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, emeritus, at Wellesley College, was instrumental in bringing women into the leadership of the American Philological Association, the professional association of classical scholars and ancient historians in the United States.
In her book Not Out of Africa, Lefkowitz characterizes “Afro-centricty†as the teaching of “myths disguised as history.†Professor Lefkowitz’s summary of these myths is as follows: “There is little or no historical substance to many of the Afro-centrists’ most striking claims about the ancient world. There is no evidence that Socrates, Hannibal, and Cleopatra had African ancestors. There is no archaeological data to support the notion that Egyptians migrated to Greece during the second millennium B.C. (or before that). There is no reason to think that Greek religious practices originated in Egypt…. Other assertions are not merely unscientific; they are false. Democritus could not have copied his philosophy from books stolen from Egypt by Anaxarchus, because he had died many years before Alexander's invasion [of Egypt]. Aristotle could not have stolen his philosophy from books in the library at Alexandria, because the library was not built until [fifty years] after his death. There never was such thing as an Egyptian Mystery System (which is a central part of Afro-centrist teaching).â€
The fact of the matter is White people have made the greatest contributions to the world. We have Thomas Hobbes, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Guglielmo Marconi, James Joyce, Vasco De Gama, Jonas Salk, Enrico Caruso, Charlie Chaplin, Louis Daguerre, J. Robert Oppenbeimer, Gregg Pincus, Enrico Fermi, William Harvey, Ben Franklin, Marie Curie, Picasso, Werner Heisenberg, FDR, Magellen, Kant, Walt Disney, D.W Griffith, Jean-Luc Godard, Winston Churchill, Ed Jenner, Charles Babbage, Alexander Graham Bell, Mendel, Bill Gates, The Wright Brothers, Dante, Francis Bacon, Voltaire, Alexander Fleming, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Rene Descartes, Watson & Crick, Beethoven, Henry Ford, Bach, Mozart, Issac Newton, Charles Darwin, Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Galileo, Karl Marx, Gutenberg, Robert Bresson, Carl Dreyer, Freud, Edison, The Beatles, etc. Whites continue to this day, to contribute greatly to society and lead the world in the fields of science, medicine, and engineering. Don't feel bad, you have Jen Lopez and Mark Anthony.
Greek culture and power extended itself across the known world. While the classical age of Greece produced great literature, poetry, philosophy, drama, and art, the Hellenistic age impacted the world. However, the Macedonians did more than control territory; they actively exported Greek culture: politics, law, literature, philosophy, religion, and art. This was a new idea, exporting culture, and more than anything else this exporting of culture would deeply influence all the civilizations and cultures that would later erupt from this soil: the Romans, the Christians, the Jewish Diaspora, and Islam. Hellenism changed the world and defined the way in which the world would operate.
