It is. It leads to arrogance and a false sense of entitlement. Those things are the cause of almost everything that's wrong with the world.
It's not about biology, evolution or history; It's just a silly reason why "we are better than everyone else". It's a way for people to feel superior without actually having to achieve anything.
Isn't it weird that most "white supremacy" people are at the bottom of society? I mean if they're so superior how did that happen?
That's just an example. There's racism all over the world against pretty much everyone.
The reason why it seems like a lot of White Nationalists are of the lower class is because richer and more successful White people have little if any need for any type of nationalism to begin with. Why would they when they can just buy a house in an overwhelmingly White neighborhood and comfortably lie low for the rest of their lives?
Furthermore, it's important to note that the leaders of the White Nationalist movement as well as prominent racialist thinkers in general tend to be a very far cry from the alcoholic redneck stereotype that you seem to be hinting at. Do your research and among them you'll find inventors, Yale graduates, physics professors.....and the co-discoverer of DNA.
In recent history maybe. But there were many high cultures throughout history. Asia, Africa and the Middle East were all way ahead of Europe for thousands of years.
Of course if you mesure "achievement" in attacking and conquering other cultures, then yes, white people have done well for themselves. But I don't think being the biggest bully makes you superior.
That's a very sad world view, my friend. Does that also mean murderers who get away with it are superior people than those just living a peaceful life?
No: but those murderers who kill, admit to have done it, and yet have full immunity and aren't punished: those are superior, because they are stronger.
Well that's where we disagree then. Strenght is just an arbitrary criteria among thousands that could be used to determine superiority. We might aswell go for intelligence, love, empathy or altruism. Those are far more complex concepts that seem to set us apart from other animals.
Do you think selfless people are just stupid? People giving up their selfish needs in order to help others have my deepest respect. But by your standards they're just dumb.
It doesen't take any strength to be selfish and put your own needs above others. It's the easiest way to live.
If being the superior race means being a dick, I wouldn't want to be superior.
On a side note: Am I correct in assuming you're white? Because usually people claim the one race is superior that they just happen to be a part of.
Also, if in 50 years we'd all be coquered by let's say China; Would you be willing to admit that now Asians are the superior race? I mean, by your own rules.
Do you realize that the pseudoscientific philosophy of racialism included Arabs in "the white race" (people from the Middle East), so therefore the white race, with militant Islam of the last 1300 years, combined with colonialism and crusades, and the responsibility of nearly all genocides in history, is the one that has committed the greatest number of atrocities.
Is there a superior race?

Yes, but the white race is the one that has achieved the most throughout the history.

Oh come on. Many other races have attacked each other and committed to horrible acts against humanity just as much as white people.
