Maybe not so much

John Derbyshire, a proud racist (his words) and conservative (surprise!) had this to say:  "...white Europeans have made a better job of running fair to stable societies than has any other group."

Keeping in mind I'm neither a historian nor a political scientist, this is the list I come up with off the top of my head:  King George III, Napoleon, Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Brezhnev, Franco, Tito, Milosevic, Ceausescu, and of course, the worst leader in World History, Hitler,

Obviously, the converse is true as well--there have been many great white, European leaders, but Mr. Derbyshire has an awful selective memory.  And to call a man like Hitler a mere "blot on the record" shows that he's also divorced from reality.

Peace,
