Man, I feel like we are over analyzing the hell out of this.
By merely using my eyes, I can see that Islamic and black cultures are inherently inferior. We can argue about why that is, of which there are a multitude of books on the topic, but at the end of the of the day they are inferior.
And like Tom Fox said, I'm looking at this from a population level and not an individual level.
My final take is there is no such thing as superior or inferior culture. It is all a result of environment and surroundings. A white person and black person will behave exactly the same way given the same environment and situation. We are all human after all, nothing different between peoples. The reason why America is amazing is because of the time in history and they were building something from ground up so they did it well. Europeans also enslaved the entire world at some point based on race and religion.
So ultimately no one is better or worse at the basic level. What makes us different are the layers on top like environment.
Nothing more to discuss.
Both my examples prove you wrong though. You've said so yourself especially with Muslims. You can put them in whatever optimal environment you can dream up and once they get to a certain scale they start destroying within. See Europe. See Minnesota.
Both these groups have the same environments that whites do in this country and in Europe, but at a large scale they continue to sabotage themselves over and over in the case of blacks and/or actively foment oppression and violence when it comes to Muslims. The former celebrates the worst of their culture and the latter has it actually baked into their DNA and religious decree.
Until they decide to change their ways, they are inferior cultures and it's frankly not debatable. In that regard, there is nothing more to discuss.
I guess it depends on what we mean by culture. Is white a culture? It is a race. Is Muslim/Islam a culture? it is a religion.I think we may be mixing things up.
I think you mean race.
I don't think there is anything in the DNA. It is all the same. Muslim people are subject to tremendous brainwashing from their childhood (surroundings) which makes them radioactive. If you race a muslim baby in a healthy env and do not bring him near Islam then he will turn out okay.
With Muslims something a bit more sinister and simple is going on. Its complex, but a rather forced analogy to Christian experience will explain the root of it at a glance. Muslim violence results in direct proportion to how much the person (or govt) "goes back to the beginning" - becomes fundamentalist and early Islamic. Because that was a time of violence and force and thievery all built-in. Euros and American Democrats are especially stupid when they bring in types like Afghans in any number because they follow the most regressed form.
What is the Christian analogy? If you all the way back, "to the basics" and fundamentalists, as long as it is NT, it doesn't lead to excessive violence and cruelty though it can certainly look 'intolerant" by modern standards.
Now however, imagine if for that Christian group it meant back not to the earliest NT, but the OT, and bang -- you are right back at brutal killings for things like adultery and war not really reluctantly engaged in. So imagine if Christianity didn't have the `bulkhead' created by the NT --- and going "fundamentalist" meant going back to the times of Canaan, etc. THAT is the Muslim dilemma --- if you go back to the start, you become worse, not better. They haven't had the equivalent of `lives by the sword, die by the sword' of the NT.
There are even places where the Prophet Muhammad prescribed restraint, but all in an OT style atmosphere --- and there have been many Islamic jurists since that have mitigated much. But what dealing with in the 21st C is those that are drawn into Islamist thinking, the most regressive, go straight from civilized to threats. That's this `light switch' stuff seeing.
