Just so happened? The most dominate world empires did just so happen to arise out of Europe, but the leaders were white because... the people were white
until relatively recent history even the most destitute white was just glad he didn't have dark skin (still holds true in some parts of the US)

It's not reactionary, I genuinely do not understand your logic and so far it seems bias and disingenuous.
I'm not talking historically, im talking modern day society.. what white people did in the past to get us to where we are today has nothing to do with the conversation.
Can you please give me an example of a system in America that oppresses black people that ONLY white people participate in? Show me a voting statistic of white people passing legislation where 0 minorities agreed? Anything? There is no doubt that white people still have more opportunities in society, but to sit here and claim that the group as a whole is still actively oppressing minorities across the board is ignorant. There are certainly microcosms where this is true, but generally speaking it sounds fallacious.

Kind of like how you use white extremism to push your idea that whites as a whole are oppressors... hmmm
Double standards?

That's your problem. This isn't about taking sides, it's about objective reasoning. You form an opinion and then find evidence to support it.. Keep painting targets around that arrow of yours, see how close it gets you to reality.
