loramin is correct and if you voted option 2 without realizing it you're dumb as a brick.

I think I see what you're saying, poke. You're saying the alien thought experiment is like what happened to the "savages" with spears, as loramin calls them. White people came in naval ships, instead of star ships, and there was a misunderstanding. White people were working out the missing link between the peoples, and when they figured things out, they said, "Hey. These guys are actually intelligent! We fucked up! We should give them equal rights."

So they gave them equal rights, citizenship, technology, intercontinental travel, etc, and those people went on to make the largest gains over some of the highest hurdles in the shortest time of any group in history. I can agree with you there, but I don't think that makes the past deeds "all good", as loramin would suggest.

I have to disagree with you on this point, poke. Slavery is terrible. Can't believe you'd say something so problematic.

This theory assumes too much. I find it hard to believe aliens would behave as humans do if they suddenly appeared on earth.

Stewie Griffin: [To an African American] You're welcome
Guy: Excuse me?
Stewie Griffin: I'm just saying make it worth our while, we wrote a pretty big cheque for you folks.
Guy: I'd say the events that preceded it, the hundred years or so, we're even
Stewie Griffin: Yeah we gave more.

Please, you were posting in the same Off-Topic thread (https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...285439&page=38) where OP was posting his white superiority stuff less than two hours before he started this thread. Don't pretend there's no connection between his two posts (and his long history of similar posts).
