If you wanna talk about shit that united the West, it was the damned church.

It wasn't whiteness, it was the culture that prevailed in christianity.

which didn't take root elsewhere in the world.

I think it's a bit of both. If it's environment then why didn't Jamaica, Bahamas and other countries which were European colonies that have European ideas and froms of goverment and culture be dominate untile they got their indepdance and then became africanized becase they were areas that were run by blacks and populated with blacks.

If it's Christianity then why aren't black countires with majorty christian populations western?

the white corner of the world
developed the western system
under Christianity
the common thread through almost all of it.

You're looking past the argument to say 'what about this'.

That's not a rebuttal of my point.

Becase it disproves your point that western countires are only that way becasue of christianity when they clearly aren't.

tide pods

lol

They didn't have the same European cultural exchange.

They were colonised by Europeans who built africa.

Colonization does NOT imply cooperation with the subjugated people.

Before Europeans arived africans didn't even have the wheel, a writen language, a court system, books, ect.

Who made the africans Chritians? Whites did. Who though them European languages? Whites did.

And?

Those are exsamples of how Europeans forced western culutre on africans.

If the Muslims enforced Sharia Law in Australia tomorrow, forced you to learn their language and convert to their religion (implying you couldn't escape), would you suddenly be cool with Islam?

As far as European presence in Africa goes

It WAS actually oppressive.

No. Are you saying western culutre is foreign to blacks?

Native africans, yes.

Those who grew up generations in western culture, not quite so much.

But when the Europeans left they just when back to african culutre. it's becase it's natural to them.

It's because the Europeans were oppressors.

You don't think they were to Americans?

clarify.

The Migrant Crisis in Europe is damn near the inverse of European colonization.

With the numbers in transit to Europe, and the willful disregard by the governing bodies (for the most part), it's practically an occupation force.

On that, I think we'd agree, right?

Britian was oppressive to the 13 colonies forcing them to pay taxs and that sort of thing to the point that the 13 colonies fight a war to be freeded from them but they keeped western culutre.

the 13 colonies WERE britain.

the colonies were formed by protestants, fleeing the oppression of catholicism.

and furthermore, they fled old western culture

to create NEW western culture.

The 13 colonies became America though a western country. Yor point with Africans was that becase Europeans were opprsive to africas the africans didn't stay western but then why did the Americans stay western?

What you know as Western Culture today, was 100% Made in America. If you're talking about anything in Europe prior to 1914, you're talking the age of kings. (Corrected year)

don't mean to bud in, but the American colonies were European colonists

their "naitive culture" was European, so ofc they stayed that way
