The brainwashing of the masses by white supremacy , of any color, means many people think they're saying something of note, but are actually just reciting white supremacist talking points without even realizing it. People are so caught in this imaginary world of "white makes right" that they disrespect the civilizations that existed before them. The mental gymnastics required to say that European civilizations were responsible for these innovations is amazing. Innovations that are inherent to human existence. European conquests decision to destroy and imprison the world for profit might have led to inventions in some arenas, but the for profit mentality vs the "search for knowledge" they used as a cover, means that these inventions revolved around making money.

White people have been using the idea of "manifest destiny" to discredit the intelligence of older civilizations for years. This is just the latest flavor of conquest we've observed throughout history by all groups of people, but it's objective to say this flavor has left the world in the worst position, if only because of how wide spread it is, and also how it attacks the mind from a young age, such that people OF ALL COLORS can become unwitting(or willing) proponents of white supremacy because that's all they've known and been exposed to as "right" ideas.
