white.
"The highest civilization and culture, apart from the ancient Hindus and Egyptians, are found exclusively among the white races; and even with many dark peoples, the ruling caste or race is fairer in colour than the rest and has, therefore, evidently immigrated, for example, the Brahmans, the Incas, and the rulers of the South Sea Islands. All this is due to the fact that necessity is the mother of invention because those tribes that emigrated early to the north, and there gradually became white, had to develop all their intellectual powers and invent and perfect all the arts in their struggle with need, want and misery, which in their many forms were brought about by the climate."

white supremacist.
though i think i'd say the same thing about jewish people.
still. it's not something i feel politically correct to believe in.
jewish people are an ethnic group within the "white" race, no?
but yeah, i definitely dont agree with white supremacy. its like, an era of people trying to take credit and pride in the good things that people of similar color built in the past. it's bad stereotyping in my mind.
any feeling of superiority in something that we didnt have a choice in seems undue to me. (which are most things anyway.)
and this arthur guy.. i actually dont think he was a white supremacist. i think he was trying to rationalize how white people grew in power.
power to me is intelligence and influence and whether it's used in good or bad ways, is up to the person in power which i like to think is independent of their race.
i read up his wiki site and i identify with so many of his perspectives~
