Trading places

I have a few deep conversations with my brother and a fellow twitch streaming buddy weapon about a lot of deep things. I just found out recently thanks to them that the illuminati is a real organization (Yeah, I don't reall research this sort of stuff). However, I'm not posting this to talk about them. I'm here to talk about the position of power held based on race (no surprise there eh?). Hopefully people here agree that caucasions are in a "position" to oppress other races, especially in America. I'm not saying all caucasions oppress blacks, they just have the upper hand with the cards as that particular race is in a position of power. Anyways, let's say that role is reversed and an oppressed race such as Africans have the upper hand in the cards. Would the world be any different or would we just have a black illuminati and kkk? What about gender? If women ruled the world, would it be a better or worse place? Would there be any changes at all?

Before answering, take the time to ask yourself these relevant questions first:

1) Do you believe all men are equal in terms of being capable of producing either negative or positive energy? Or do you believe some races are better/worse than others?

2) Do you believe there are fundamental differences between races all the way down to chemical reactions in the brain that makes us think? Do you think our behavior stems from the stimulus of the environment around us, in addition to how we perceive ourselves and others? Or do you think both environment and genetics mutually affect one another?



My hypothesis

I believe there wouldn't really be much of a difference in the world if oppressed races/women were in the position of power. All humans are capable of the worst deeds and the greatest of good. It all just depends on the circumstances. If you're in the position of superiority, then you'll do things that'll keep you there. If you're in a position of oppression, you'll do things to get to the top of the hiearchy. It's both genetics and the environment that plays mutual roles in how we percieve ourselves and how we percieve the world around us. In Africa, there are a few tribes that see obesity as beauty, because it's so rare to see an obese person there. Even in America's time in 1920, obesity was viewed as healthy. So its really just based on the circumstances of the environment and eye of the beholder so to speak.

1, Yes I do believe all men are equal regardless of race because we all make mistakes and screw up even the smallest of things in our lives. I don't think any one person stands to represent a entire race of people, they're are good people and bad people in all races and generations and I doubt that will change unless we lose our freedom of speech and independence.

2. I think it depends on how we have viewed people and situations in life, someone could have grown up with really shitty experiences with one race/gender and just dislike them and write them off as a sterotype without really knowing the whole story. For example, I've always had a bad time with indian people and I can tend to think of most of them as assholes and write it off as a sterotype but that's just due to my experiences, our behavior toward others depends on their actions towards theirselves, towards us and the whole world. I got no clue about genes but I'm a mixed dude, half black and half white and I pretty much see myself as a white guy due to how I act and how I carry myself so I have similar friends like that but also have some black friends and like to do dumb shit as to embrace my black side.

Okay good, so based on your response to the side questions, is it safe to assume you feel it wouldn't make a difference what race is in the position of power?

No I don't think a persons race matters when they're in a position of power, I think their values and ethics matter though I also believe that they shouldn't bring or make any decisions based on something bias/personally but should be objective about it. Hope you're doing well dude.
