I repeat, that the superior races have a right because they have a duty. They have the duty to civilize the inferior races ….

this same argument has been used since antiquity with all sorts of variables (including race, obviously)

quote:

Our right to the form this country was justified on white supremacy.

it was really justified on military and technological supremacy, if we're talking about reality

in this very same time period, white europeans went to war with plenty of other white europeans. i bet they said very similar statements to the one i quoted above in the process. they just didn't use race

Like I've said before, nothing kills white people as effectively as other white people.

and let me just say, in response to the OP, i define racism as judging a person solely on race, which is pretty in line with how the OP describes it (you can only feel superior if you judge a person based solely on race)

and that's wrong in every instance, imho

let me add this caveat: judging a person of a particular race who is acting in accordance with a shitty culture of that race is fine, to me. i separate culture and race completely and i judge cultures early and often.
