19. My being a white female, I have an idea why white guys are so aggressive
Edited on Wed Jan-12-05 02:46 PM by StopThePendulum
It's history. White male culture is but a legacy of the conquest mentality of ancient Rome. If one subscribes to a conquest mentality, one will believe himself or herself superior to other people, races, ethnic groups, and cultures, especially cultures foreign to his or her own, and will seek to overpower them and force them to convert to his or her way of life. Sadly, this attitude has been passed down from generation to generation--for about 2500 years! We see the consequences of the Legacy of Ancient Rome to this day.
In other words, it's not an inborn, genetic racial trait among whites to be aggressive and think themselves supreme; it's learned behavior which can be unlearned.
