Do you have an explanation for why the Latin American standard of living is what it is? I know one theory was the protestant work ethic?
Which Latin America standard of living? Are they all identical? Aren't there some Latin Americans whose standard of living is higher than poor, white folks in Appalachia? Do you have any good evidence that any difference in overall standard of living was due to being Catholic rather than Protestant?
You mentioned God giving gifts to the races. Do you believe he gave the same gifts to all races? Or did he give different gifts to different races?
No I don't believe He gave the same gifts to all races. Otherwise people would all be the same. My point is that believing this is obvious fact is not white supremacism. All men are not created identical in abilities or even equal for that matter. I think all men should enjoy equal rights as men and women.[/quote]
I'm not following here. I agree that not everyone is created identical. That's true even among white folks, right? So, why would God discriminate in bestowing gifts based on race? You offered the reason that everyone would be identical, but then you contradicted that reason two sentences later.
So, can you identify examples of gifts God gave the white race that he didn't give to other races?
Can you do the same for the black race? The Latin race? The Native American Race?
I can't weigh in on whether what you believe is white supremacy until I understand what you believe.
