I'm white. I agree to an extent with this, but evil comes in all shapes, sizes and of course... colors. Mankind is evil and power corrupts. So had it been Arabs that dominated the globe throughout history blame would befuddle them in rebuttal.

 

Had the Mongols succeeded in passing on the lineage of the conqueror from generation to generation how might the world be different? A hundred years from now all races may echo your sentiments, but about, say, the orientals (Chinese) if they flourish beyond an economic super power and catch up to the U.S military might. Although if you take into account NATO (28 countries) it is highly unlikely, but still by a stretch of the imagination probable.

 

Beyond white and black, right and wrong, I think people are just people and go where the one in front goes... like sheep; the heard mentality that is so conceptually simple to understand just, overlooked, becomes one of the greatest contributing factors to our detriment. People are only as good as those leading them. Perhaps more importantly, people are only as good as the knowledge that is available to them to make the prudent choice of who to follow and who not to.

 

I postulate that it is wisest to not follow the masters, but instead, to  follow what the masters followed; knowledge and wisdom; insight and understanding.
