I judged you by your words. Which were and continue to be racist. The fact that you don't understand that shows how ingrained your beliefs are. The answer to your question is simple. The humans who migrated north were presented with new situations that required different ways of thinking to survive. It was not only the struggle to survive, it was new challenges to the struggle that caused a small subset of those who migrated north to think in new and creative ways. Others were able to build on those new and creative ways of thinking to create advances in politics, industry, science and art. Further migration to north america presented even more and newer challenges that again, stimulated the brains of a few and the rest benefited. Once new stimuli stopped, the great white hope ended. Once we got complacent about the struggle for survival, we started doing things to dismantle the foundation on which all of the things that set us apart are built. The most important being that we started to destroy our political foundation. We have seen our industry decimated (look at what the unions did to detroit), the arts are mostly commercialized crap. And the non-commercial is overrun by the obscene. And look at what we are doing to our health care industry. Do you think we will be the best in 10 years? Basically, the white western culture was propelled by conditions that our ancestors were either forced to or voluntarily put themselves in, that provided the stimulation for extra creative thought. We were able to ride the affects of that for a bit, but as we destroy our own civilization, we are proving now that the greatness of our culture had nothing to do with race.
