Think about history for the last 700 years or so. They came to America and easily defeated the indians, Mexico? No match. Africa? not even worth the trouble. Why are there not any white 3rd world nations? Are white people more intelligent? This is not a racist rant by any means, I just was looking at the world as a whole and their is but one "Superpower" and it's white people yet again. England, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, mostly caucasian. Asian countries are close I agree.

I didn't know India, China, Japan, Korea and all those African nations were ruled by white people. Latin America is run by whites too??!!! Thanks for enlightening me. Who knew! By the way, there is nothing 3rd world about Argentina, Chile and many other Latin American countries.
England, Germany, France, etc. are mostly white because that's what color the people are from that region. Russian has many different types of people, including a whole Asian region.
You say your post isn't a racist rant and then you say Africa isn't even worth the trouble.

Fallen Angel does not get the question at all. this has to do with Europe and the US controllng the world, actually for more than 700 years.
After the Roman empire fell, the next big empires were Andaluz and the ottoman empires (MUSLIM, both). Andaluz was totally destroyed in 1492 and the Ottoman empire fell to England around 150 years ago. So, between the Holy roman Empire and England, they did a bangup job controlling a good part of the world

That's a damn good question...my guess would be that there was a greater desire to pursue technology between white societies, most likely because they were constantly fighting each other (i.e. Troy and Greece). Other civilizations, such as Africa and North America and Asia stayed all but isolated. That's just a guess tho...haha that is a good question..touche.

First of all, white people are basicly black people with demodified dna. The same thing that caused whites to lose pigmitation in the skin is the same thing that gave them the urge to destroy the earth. The answer is climate. Whites spent thousands of years in cold harsh climates which is what turned them white. This natural selection process also forced them to put an effort into advancing in technology.

If you're talking about whites as in White Anglo Saxton Protestant (WASP) then you're way out of the park here buddy. Everyone knows that the Jews rule the world. They're God's chosen people. You don't hear them complaining about stuff...they just keep makin' money and ruling the world. Sweet deal actually. Almost 10,000 years of slavery, torture, and generally bad days...they haven't complained nearly as badly as an unnamed race that suffered 400 years of slavery that was no where near as bad as the Jews. AND technically, Jews aren't white, they're from the Middle East and their own race all together.

From about 600 to 1500 AD, whites were the third world countries, in the time of the great Muslim empires. After that, whites got the advantage of technology, which is hard to beat.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. It was more a combination of the right resources and various circumstance in combination and a matter of timing. This allowed Europeans to make better weapons and do better at trade. Add greed and aggression and you have the situation we have today.
It was more the environment they came from rather than any other factor.

White people don't rule the world. Today, Bush is getting scared of Iran and North Korea's nuclear advancements. Your sticking to the past. Think about the present and the future. It is something to get concern about, to be frank with you.
