Rep Steve King Defends 'Western Civilization,' Causes Uproar

Defending his party's reputation of consisting mainly of "old, white people," Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa on Monday questioned where "any other subgroup of people" contributed more to society than in Western civilization.

"This 'old, white people' business does get a little tired," King said on MSNBC Monday, hours before the first speaker would take the stage at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. "I'd ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you're talking about — where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?"

"Than white people?" asked MSNBC's Chris Hayes, slightly stunned.

"Than Western civilization itself," King replied. "It's rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Unites States of America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. That's all of Western civilization."

It's not the first time King appeared to question the value of other, non-white "subgroups." In 2013, he drew fire after declaring that for every [undocumented immigrant] who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds-and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."

The Age of the White Male Patriarchy draws to a close, and Wingnut Nation is none too pleased.
 
That guy's an asshole.

Do you agree with all members on your side of the aisle? Do each and every nutjob represent you because of the party that you both belong to?
 
Whites have their advantages over other races.
For instance, body paint tends to show up better on our blank canvas.

Whites also have disadvantages.
Such as sunburn.
 
You wouldn't have made that thread in a million years. :cool:

You started a thread that said no one will call out this guy and I did. You posted that you called out your party and I agreed with you that none of us liked every member in our party. Trying to have a reasoned conversation with you leads to this.

A million years is a long time. Thanks for flexibility option.
 
Voting Republican. Called the guy out.

Clear things up for you sparky?

You just said, and I quote:

...and that was a lie. Now, as per usual, you're trying to dodge your screw-up. Your weak game goes nowhere with me, sweet pea. :cool:

Keep clinging to the technicalities. It makes everything alright. Rest you weary head.

Wait you called me sweet pea. A term of endearment. I knew you loved me. Yes I will bless you with my magical splooge. Our love will never die.

You are indeed the coolest.
 
Western culture is entirely derivative. Never invented any of the big ones. Agriculture, fire, the wheel, writing. Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers when the ME had agriculture, cities and writing. The Chinese developed a lot with zero contact with the west. We got paper money and gun powder from them, Very important things in western 'civilization'.

Europe and Britain had all the trappings of western civilization long before the US was discovered by 'whites'. Modern democracy is English. Republics were old when Rome ruled. The US is more of a derivative culture than most.

A temperate climate and dying off indigenous population with great rivers giving access to the interior made it easy for US colonists to prosper, relatively speaking.

The White Man's Burden
Take up the White Man’s burden—

Send forth the best ye breed—

Go send your sons to exile

To serve your captives' need

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild—

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

Half devil and half child

Take up the White Man’s burden

In patience to abide

To veil the threat of terror

And check the show of pride;

By open speech and simple

An hundred times made plain

To seek another’s profit

And work another’s gain

Take up the White Man’s burden—

And reap his old reward:

The blame of those ye better

The hate of those ye guard—

The cry of hosts ye humour

(Ah slowly) to the light:

"Why brought ye us from bondage,

“Our loved Egyptian night?”

Take up the White Man’s burden-

Have done with childish days-

The lightly proffered laurel,

The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhood

Through all the thankless years,

Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,

The judgment of your peers!
 
There are none and never were any advanced civilizations in the Tropics....that is, between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Outside the Tropics life is a struggle and a challenge that develops brains.

Bananas and welfare is the story of the nigger.
 
At least Ryan's Scions aren't all blond and blue-eyed. It's a start, I suppose.
