Caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet. If you think otherwise, you've never picked up a history book.

Those links don't falsify the statement "caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet."

Probably because that statement is not falsifiable? How were you planning to measure "oppressive" anyway? It's like you use these words and you don't know what they mean.

It's completely falsifiable. Again with this comprehension thing - look, I'm not here to fucking educate you people, I'm just here to express an opinion. In another thousand years when some other group of people other than caucasians spends the majority of their time oppressing and subjugating, then the statement will have been falsified.

White people may or may not historically be the most oppressive people on the planet, but the first statement quoted is not falsifiable unless it's in a subjective and arbitrary way.
I do think racism is a problem in America and it's due to ignorance. People want to look at symptoms of racism and try to treat those instead of addressing the underlying causes of racism.
