Western expansion of language and, in a more impactful but indirect approach, the creation of the printing press.
They really "enriched" countless humans with another Chinese creation- gunpowder.

We perfected colonialism for sure.
I hate when people act like we are a gift to the world and the rest of the world owes us. We contributed a huge percentage of technology but we did it to help ourselves, not out of some sort of altruism. And it was individuals, not a collective.

It's dumb to insinuate black people owe us, just like it is dumb for black people to act like white people owe them
Are you saying phoenicians were black because many migrated to North Africa?

Phoenicians were brown, like almost every other people from that area.
The Romans considered the celts fair-skinned.
Trying to apply modern ideals of race to people back then really doesn't work at all anyway.

genetic records prior to the militant expansion of Islam disagree. green eyes exist in less than 2% of the global population, yet you find it in Lebanon, Iran, and Turkey

The Phoenician skin tone was described as copper, bronze or red.
Idk, do you consider Arabs white?
There are many disputes over the issue so I guess it depends on which definition you wanna use.

But when it’s bad with whites it’s about the collective including their bloodlines and not the individuals…
You say the west perfected colonialism, but what the west really developed better and faster than other cultures was a combination of exploration, documentation, and growth. Whether you want to call colonialism good, bad, or neutral throughout history by various people or just misuse the term politically it happened everywhere and was only limited by each culture’s ability, advancement, and its own sense of wonder and curiosity to test the limits of what they knew by seeking out and exploring what was unknown to them and communicating what they found and learned back to others to help grow their culture.
Conflicts and competition are inevitable, but there is a reason most of the truly defining moments of both throughout history were between the various western cultures, less between the west and other cultures, and even less between non-western cultures only. You can even go back to the Cro-Magnons exploring and settling in Europe while also being open and inclusive to getting some of the existing Neanderthal strange who also had explored and spread into both current day Europe and Western Asia. If cultures stood still and isolated not wondering what’s out there we would all be africans.
Those who can, do; and those who can’t, teach about being victims of the former.

All Arabs count as Caucasian on the US census. Different countries have different meanings for the word Caucasian.
I think it is weird to try to claim the Phoenicians living in North Africa from 2k years ago as part of what we now consider 'white" culture.
They undoubtedly had a mixture of skin complexions but we share very little/if any culture with them.
It's impossible for me to consider their accomplishments as part of what modern Americans consider "white" accomplishments.
It's a thing where we will claim Phoenician accomplishments but when we look at modern day Arabs we don't wanna claim their culture as ours at all haha.
We have plenty of our own accomplishments without having to claim everything they did before us as ours.

I don't feel "strongly" either way, but no I do not. there is only one living person in the world that shares the Phoenician genome and they live in portugal
it's a culture I wish to learn more about. it's terrible that carthage was pretty much wiped from history (when the romans dismantled the city), but thats just how it goes sometimes

What did the arabs think when they colonized the land around current Lebanon and also parts of North Africa where the Phoenicians had migrated?

a supermajority of Lebanese are of Phoenician descent. I can pull a dozen articles in less than a minute
are you serious?

The only discovered intact Phoenician genome is U5b2c1 (found in a sarcophagus in Carthage) . Only one person alive has that sequence (in Portugal) and they chose to remain anonymous.
