Why should white males give up everything they have created?

Question

Its funny every time I go on Yahoo answers and see people complaining about it being “a white man’s world” and say they deserve more and better then what they have with out realizing white men worked hard and earned everything they got. Of course there are gonna be some angry people posting here trying to deny the truth but it is not a coincidence that the nicest and best countries to live in tend to be created and ran by white men. And lets be honest the majority of the most important inventions used today that everyone loves so much like Planes, cars, television, computers, phones, the internet, light bulbs, motion pictures, photography, assembly line, ect(I could go on for hours) was once again create by white males. What’s really annoying is when white males create a company and invention, they work hard to make it a success like Boeing, Microsoft, Dell, ect, and then non white males demand they hire them and give them high profile or executive jobs like they are owed something. Imagine white men making the same demands to a company owned by a bunch of minorities, imagine all the crying and whining they would be doing.

And before those who say that its cause of colonialism that white males are so successful, I would like to mention that Northern Africans, Arabs, and Mongolians colonized and oppressed white people before, yet we never made it an excuse for our short comings and we freed ourselves and worked hard to become a success.

And for those who say its because of slavery, I say the majority of countries have had slavery in its passed but obviously it had nothing to do with how successful it is now. Look at Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa, ect. All had slavery yet none of these countries are extremely successful today.

So why do people think white men owe, have to give up, or have to share what they’ve created? And how many will tell the truth and admit white males have earned their success?

Thats funny Ms. Balls, I guess it was our stupidity that helped us invent that computer your typing on and the internet that allowed you to send that message. I would like to hear some of the controbutions your people have made? I'm assuming none.

lady c, in your case that wouldn't be such a bad idea....you loud mouthed ****.

Answer 1

That's long, and I'm not sure what The questions is, but the one
thing I know is no man black or white or anything else ever
created anything. Everything here is on loan and no one ever
gets title to it.

Answer 2

Five hundred years ago, while Whites were discovering new continents and conquering the globe with their technology and civilization, there were no written languages in sub-Saharan Africa. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Slavery existed in the "New World" before Whites ever came. Slavery exists in Africa TODAY.

Whites own nothing to anybody. In fact, the non-White world owes Whites a great deal, for all the technological progress Whites have made, and then given to other peoples. Antibiotics are used in Africa to save lives...did Black people invent them? No. In fact, a large portion of the money used to pay for antibiotics in Africa comes from White people...

Slavery in the United States lasted less than 100 years...and over 600,000 White people died in a war that ended slavery...but White people are expected to feel guilt about this 150 years later?

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

Answer 3

I don't believe that the white man should give up anything, just like I shouldn't give up anything as well. I don't recall reading any questions alluding to that point. I do believe that in the other countries that there was some intergration. There is still some form of slavery in some places: look at Kuwait. Non-natives can't truly own anything. I am not looking for reparations, just to not be lumped with the criminal knuckleheads who appear on tv every night. And not all white men are successful just like not all males of other races. I see just as many white homeless everyday.

Answer 4

I have heard talk about fair trade, equal opportunities, being civil to all people irrespective of race etc but never a demand for white people to surrender their hard earned wealth. Where did you get that from? Is there a deep seated fear (that you will loose that which you stole in the first place) or guilt in the knowledge that credit is not given to those that slaved to get things to where they are in the first place? Are you afraid that given the opportunity former colonies will mete out the same treatment they were afforded? What are you reeee..aly afraid of? Why all the self-righteousness? It has been known that a cheating spouse automatically suspects their partner of cheating (without proof) due to paranoia and a subconscious acceptance of karma. Only when you are true to yourself can you begin to understand the complexities of life. This goes for all races and is not in defense or pro-anything. Wake up and be honest about the real root of all this unqualified paranoia: if only to yourself.

Answer 5

The following are basic rules for being a human being... which has nothing to do with color or race. No race is better or more deserving or harder working than another and it is my belief that if we try to separate ourselves from others we are doing humanity a grave injustice. Thank you for your thought provoking question!

1.You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2.You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
4.A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive there are lessons to be learned.
6."There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.Your answers lie inside you. The answer to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.This will often be forgotten, only to be remembered again.

Answer 6

I do agree with this, we speak out against anything we're racist but anyone else of color can say anything bad about a white male or female and oh it's a big joke. Black people may call each other the N word but if a white friend says it it's like cracka what gives you the right to say it? Glad you had the balls to say something.

Answer 7

To generalize "white male" by saying that all successful white males have worked hard and earned their keep is going a little too far. Many people today, just like the past, have earned their keep and have worked hard, regardless of ethnicity or race. The question that is being asked is how fair of a playing field has actually been available to the totality of society. These questions can partially be answered through historical accounts of ethnic and racial divide and inequality, which continue to have an impact in many countries to this day. To deny that racism and discrimination played a role in the development of political, economic, and social inequality it to deny history, in particular the history of many countries that grew by enormous amounts as a result of the Atlantic slave trade, as well as great migrations.

Besides, I'm not sure that society is asking "white males" to "give up everything they have created," unless you are counting racism and the biological concept of race, two ideologies created and continued by SOME (but not all) "white males."

Answer 8

As a black male I really don't care because before whites, Muslims ruled the most productive civilization, and before them it was Africans. I believe that every race has had their time to rein over civilization and they have all imploded due to greed. Maybe this is God's sense of humor, but enjoy it while it lasts because it will come to an end, and the "oppressor will become the oppressed."

Answer 9

Other than paying taxes no one should have to give up what they created. But claiming for yourself the inventions or wealth of other people, past or present, with whom you share some physical characteristics is silly.This question is like asking " should people who look like Bill Gates have to give up Microsoft."

Answer 10

What you don't get is that not everyone is on the same playing field to start out with. WASP in your country get more, it's a fact and way of life. That is unfair, but the "giving up everything" thing I don't get...if you work hard for it, you deserve it.
