ancient civilisations and empires in history

let's list 'em.
off the top of my head, there's ancient greece (philosophy! sculpture! tragedy!), rome (gladiators), the byzantine empire/constantinople (mosaics, awesome architecture), ancient india (uh.. elephants?), ancient egypt (pyramids and papyrus!) .. ancient china (vases, funny hats and robes), feudal japan (ninjas)

am I missing any? add please.

I don't get it, what's your argument?? All you do is keep on repeating your argument. Sure I agree with the facts, whites on aaverage are richer than black people. However that's just it, an average, not ALL white people are richer than the average black person. Thus affirmative action would inevitably discriminate against under priviledged whites and pointless benefit already priviledged black people. It is only logical to say any person who has been denied rights, whether they are black or white, should receive compensation. RACE IS IRRELEVANT.

You might have noticed now, but this is the entire jist of my argument. RACE IS IRRELEVANT. Why don't you get this: I WANT TO HELP ALL PEOPLE DENIED RIGHTS REGARDLESS OF RACE. Even the NAACP have a statement at the front of their site saying they want to help all poor people regardless of race. How on earth am I racist?

You're a supposed anti-racist you cannot even fathom the simplest mathematical principle which proves that generalisation is illogical. Obviously your gradeschool math teacher missed out on something big time...
