DailyKenn.com — Consider the 30 teams that comprise the NBA. They are similar in many ways, but one team is better than the others. That team is determined in the playoffs. In 2025, the superior team proved to be the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Imagine a scenario in which the Oklahoma City Thunder has won every championship for nearly 3,000 years. Reason would lead us to believe they are superior. Marxists could lead us to believe they are oppressing the other 29 teams and cherry pick fouls and other offenses to make their point.
The final conclusion is: The team — or race — that has enhanced the lives of all peoples for 3,000 years is superior.
Charles Murray, in his bookHuman Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950, argues that a significant majority of the world's most influential inventions and achievements have originated from Western cultures. According to Murray, more than 80 percent of the greatest achievements in the arts and sciences can be attributed to "dead white males," emphasizing the Western cultural context of these accomplishments.

The term "racism" first appeared in the late 19th century. According to the search results found by venice.ai, the first recorded instance of the term "racism" in a Western language appears to be that of the French anarchist Charles Malato in hisPhilosophie de l’anarchie in 1888.
After 50,000 years or longer of human speech, it was not until the late 19th century that in-group bias, as expressed in race, first appeared. That is very telling, considering the man who gave us the term was an anarchist. It is also telling that the term and its related derivatives were sparsely used until the second half of the 20th Century when they were co-opted by the left to advance "class struggle."
In the Western context, racism is nearly always used to malign white people as the villainous bourgeois class that exploits all other races. The outcome of this slanderous defamation is white guilt, which is heaped upon us in boatloads until we accept it as reality. We actually think white superiority is a myth, in spite of the fact that 80 percent of all inventions in the nearly three millennia can be traced to Western peoples.
To their credit, Black people tend to excel in most sports, swimming being a notable exception. "East Asians average higher on IQ tests than Whites, both in the U.S. and in Asia, even though IQ tests were developed for use in the Euro-American culture. Around the world, the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; and for Blacks, about 85 in the U.S. and 70 in sub-Saharan Africa," according to innovations-report.com.
The conclusion is, we are similar in many ways, but still noticeably different.
