What would the world be like is white people never existed?

I hear a lot about how terrible white people are, but if they never existed our world would still be very different from what it is now.

You would not be typing on that thing you are typing on, no electricity to power it, you'd probably be dead by now for lack of medicines, medical techniques, medical research. You would not have central heat / air, your food source would be tenuous. You would not fly, you would not drive, you would not have a trains to ride. No telephone. Not much in the way of higher math,

    It would be like Haiti, Kenya, Peru, Equador, China, Japan, and India everyplace.

    In 2003, I believe, Californians had a state-wide "Day Without a Mexican" and sadly when it occurred I did not even notice. I am betting if Americans as we know them never existed, the world would indeed be different but someone would have occupied it sooner or later; we just beat them out and to it!

    It would be very crowded, with all the population of earth contained on the African continent. The reason we got white people is because they migrated north, where the sunshine was weaker, so their skins had to evolve to be lighter in order to prevent birth defects, like spina bifida. What animals in Africa that remained would be herds kept on ranches for sale to humans, like cattle here. Since animals like elephants, tigers, hippos, etc., would have been very difficult to domesticate, it is unlikely that they would have survived. A lot of inventions we take for granted would never have been discovered, because more things got invented when people moved north just to guarantee survival.

    That's about as far as my logic will take me. You got anything to add?

    Well if ghetto or white trash people didn't exist then the world would be a little better.

    Source(s): I'm white and proud.

    White people created nuclear weapons, the ability to destroy a world with the turn of a key.

    I think it would be a lot like China 2000 years ago. There's no way Black people would be dominate, they are to violent with each other.

    And you know that all this would never have been accomplished without white people how? How exactly did lack of pigment help people invent those things?

    A lot of light-skinned black people like me wouldn't exist either LOL

    Those are ridiculous assumptions. The fact that one person invented something doesn't mean that others wouldn't have.

    If white people had never existed to oppress other populations, they would have achieved higher levels of education sooner.

    We all come from Africa originally, you know. There's not really any difference.
