The greeks got very little in the way of government from the egyptians. Democracy, for example, was purely the ancient greeks.
Besides which, the notion that a culture belongs to the ethnicity of origin is seriously flawed. Not only is it detrimental to the human race as a whhole, it shows a fundamental lack of knowledge of how culture develops.
Take jazz. It was clearly a black american innovation, then the white man "stole" it. But jazz was based on earlier forms of music that the black man "stole" from whites. And jazz was played on instruments invented by whites. So who should jazz really belong to?
The answer is "C: Everybody"

their are many fine cultures of white people. you are just too provincial to realize this.
american whites are a new blend of cultures from many different places. this is new in the history of man. do not judge whute culture by the american whites.
remember Vikings of Norway, people of finland and ireland and scotland and sweden and england and spain etc. ( yes the spanish are white) all have and had great cultures that are separate and distinct from the many ethinic groups that america has assimilated and emulated from love.Are you saying the vikings were not a culture, or the irish? HA! What about the the great white aryan race invaded india thousands of years ago and began that great culture that taught the greeks and egyptians a lot of what they are famous for. they were a white race.
so you are wrong to conclude white race has no culture(s) of its own just because they began a new country (USA)where every race is welcome and every culture is assimilated.
no other race or culture has ever been so inclusive and welcoming to strangers. your view of the world is too narrow and too limited in time. study history. learn.

Every culture gains from contact with other cultures.
Our law and government came as much from French philosophers and British practice as it did from Greeks. And the Egyptians contributed very little.

Of course whites have their own culture... how else do you explain that whenever a black kid bothers to use his education and speak a non-ebonics filled English... he's labled as a sellout or "trying to be white"?
Of course if you only mean music, fashion and slang... to the exclusion of education, economics, science, medicine, and the arts (outside of music and comedy)... maybe you have a point.
Lets not forget about the other things, huh?

U see my man their time was in the past. Now is the time of the European based white culture that is more tolerant today than many old cultures.
There were slaves in the past. today not many. there is some religious freedom today. then none. even if u r non white it's OK. It's not perfect but better!!!
It's better to learn from everybody than to bash others.

what other form of govermant is there. Where do you live. Do you have lightbulbs, that was invented by a white man so maybe you shouldn't use it. your history is wrong, read a history book. Which whites do you mean, South-African whites, European whites? why does it matter who cares. Why does race matter geez? Get a life you failed. Not all countries are run by whites, even when the majority of a country is white.

What is white?
There are many different groups of people from different backgrounds with different cultures that get catagorized as white.
So there is no single culture for all white people since there is no single group that makes up white people.
And if I ate Chinese food, would you say I'm stealing their culture? Get a life.

uhmm, becasue there is no WHITE culture. the white culture is that of many generations of cultures bound into one. this white culture of which you speak is the US i'm assuming. i'm also assuming you're a 100% Egyptian? if so, you'd better get off the computer and internet - they were not started by the Egyptians and thus not part of your culture ; )
