Then this would be your own assumption, and not necessarily mine. However, if you assume that God bestowed special or better gifts on a favored race, then that assumes a superiority of the favored race, both in what that race now possesses that was bestowed, and from the fact of being chosen to receive them as opposed to other races not given the same, by a Creator that otherwise had the power to do so.
If you believe that's the wrong conclusion, I'd be interested in knowing why.

There really isn't a line that you can draw between (1) my calling your claim of 'special bestowing or gifts' to particular races by a Supreme Being as an implied supremacy, and (2) your claim that my conclusion equates to saying that you hate other races.
You're going to have to flesh that one out a bit more to make a good case.

As opposed to a more timely and necessary civil war, I presume.
What was happening with the Unite the Right rally a few years back? How was that not an attempt by that group to make themselves look morally or even historically superior to 'the other'?
Now, I still want to know what constitutes white pride, or what is meant by celebrating white culture?
