Ummm...no. I assume history is not your strong point.
First off, you ignore the contributions of China and the rest of Asia! Or do you just count them as "white?" A great deal came from Asia. Even pottery was first developed in Japan LONG before it was (probably independently) invented in the Middle East. It is also interesting how so many do NOT include Middle Easterners as "white" unless it is to claim their achievements for whites.
Egypt, Turkey and what is now Iraq argueably invented many things. India and China also invented a great deal. Your focus on Greece and Rome ignores the fact that they took a large part of their civilization from the Middle East. You also claim Arabs and Africans invented slavery. So how do you explain widespread slavery among Greeks and Romans? They held slaves LONG before there was a large African or Arab slave trade. Much of what was invented in Eurasia and North Africa was independently invented in the Americas, too, though later.
Racist theories of history don't really hold water. Read Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs and Steel. It is an intelligent, sane book describing why Eurasia came out ahead in modern times. It is a nice antidote to the racist theories of history like the discredited "Bell Curve."
