Related: About this forumSteve King Goes Full Racist – Says Whites Contribute Most To Civilization
http://iowastartingline.com/2016/07/18/steve-king-goes-full-racist-says-whites-contribute-most-to-civilization/Then the discussion turned to race. Hayes noted how few people of diverse backgrounds would be addressing the Republican convention. Charles Pierce of Esquire Magazine suggested this would be the last time it would be a nearly all-white speaker lineup for Republicans, and also pointed out how those delegates chanting for Trump today were a bunch of loud, unhappy, dissatisfied white people.
King clearly took offense to that.
This whole white people business does get a little tired, Charlie, King said. I mean, Id ask you to go back through history and figure out where are these contributions made by these other categories of people that youre talking about. Where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?
<< snip >>
Than Western Civilization itself, King continued. Its rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the United States of America. And every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. All of Western civilization.

Arabic numerals.
Also, the root of the word algebra is al-jabr: invented by Persian mathematicians. Gunpowder and rocketry: invented in China. What a moron!

by said whites.

...the reinforcement of the perception that Iowans are backwards, racist, ignorant hicks that only have intimate relations with farm animals and/or close relatives.
Every time he opens his sewer to unleash some more verbal diarrhoea I cringe.
