@SW-User Either it's because of their moral system which they use to evaluate something. Or it's because of pure denial, it's pretty hard for certain people to understand that the site they support isn't pure. 😅

@HeteroDox I am not trying to pick a fight, I am merely calling you out for trolling. Those comments you showed me don't tell me anything about who is who or what is what.
HeteroDox · 36-40, F
@Crazychick I've never trolled anyone here that didn't sound like they were trying to incite or troll themselves, but you on the other hand have had something to say about anytime i've commented to you posts, which frankly are flavoured like racism....

@HeteroDox What "self perceived superiority"? I have no such quality, no Pisces does. You seem to have me confused with some Leo you may have interacted with.
FYI the slightest implication of false accusation is most severely frowned on where I live, and accusation without proof leads to permanent social ostracism at best.

@bijouxbroussard agreed although it seems some groups are using the term colonialists to exact money from different governments

@Orca4950 Remember, a lot is the way it is now because of what has happened in the past.

Why does everyone think white people are the only evil ones?
Mesoamericans sacrificed thousands, maybe millions to the gods, and would cut out the heart while alive. Couldn’t come up with the wheel.
Native Americans scalped other tribes as trophies. Couldn’t come up with the wheel.
East Asians constantly deny their past; Japan outright denies Nanking and other war crimes, China has some of the worst Human rights.
African tribes have always fought each other and never had any sort of civilisation until Arabians started colonisation and the slave trades.
The Middle East still has slavery to this day, some of the worst Human rights and historically killed over 300 million Europeans and North Africans during the caliphate. Turkey still denies the Armenian genocide, even though the Armenian genocide provided the definition of the word ‘genocide’.
Europeans have fought, have had wars, had slaves, but were also the first to ban slavery; the British empire intercepted slavery ships for goodness sake, and many modern day issues blamed on colonialism couldn’t be further from the truth. We spread western ideals, and our very ideals allowed us to innovate and make the world what it is today. Without us, the world would be the same old poverty stricken world it always has been, no healthcare, no hygiene, very little innovation, the inability to cultivate food for the masses...

My ancestors were colonized by Arabs and butchered to near extinction, never had any arabs acknowledge it.
And later the French who went to the extent of using them as lab rats for the aftermath of nuclear bombs besides other cruelties.
I don't think many confess the crimes that exist in their history because it affects the national boundaries and sentiments separating populations, I mean those very boundaries were the product of believing they were heroes. The binary in at the core of nationalism and belonging.
But I also think many wallow too much in victim-hood, some of it self made and blaming. The white generation of today is not the same that colonized those countries. They don't have an obligation to apologize or feel guilty and they shouldn't be blamed.
In fact, the power of most populations is illusionary. It is fundamentally the rich that guide democracies and decisions, no matter the era.

If any race takes an honest look at its history, it quickly becomes clear that greed, violence, slavery and yes, colonizing land and assets and human beings, are practices that are common to the HUMAN race. Whites just got a late start getting organized and committed their heinous atrocities more recently, so they are fresher in memory.
While I'm not always proud of it, apologizing because my ancestors were human isn't very productive.
But if it's helpful in some obscure way, I don't deny it. Do you?

@Mamapolo2016 @Mamapolo2016 No.... but we were no more present for it than their ancestors were. So we look at it as something to take personal responsibility for and not in the context of history where it belong...
if that were justified, why are still not fighting state on state?
Colonizing and annexing new peoples more consistently?
bombing Germany to defeat the recih?
Because they're ALL GONE. Instead of learning and extending hands on both sides, we'd still rather lay blame.. the logic escapes me

History is history. What matters is now. What my or your ancestors did isn't your or my fault. I mean I'm an Arab so I'm not exactly sure how my ancestors were and it probably wasn't very pretty and that rule can be applied on many nations with maybe a few exceptions. People still kill each other over stupid shit till today so what we can do is to not participate and to stop the hate here and hope for the best.

U.S. Genocide in the Philippines:
F. A. Blake, of California, in charge of the Red Cross:
I never saw such execution in my life, and hope never to see such sights as met me on all sides as our little corps passed over the field, dressing wounded. Legs and arms nearly demolished; total decapitation; horrible wounds in chests and abdomens, showing the determination of our soldiers to kill every native in sight. The Filipinos did stand their ground heroically, contesting every inch, but proved themselves unable to stand the deadly fire of our well-trained and eager boys in blue. I counted seventy-nine dead natives in one small field, and learn that on the other side of the river their bodies were stacked up for breastworks.

They will never ever admit what they did. Hundreds of millions dead, even today we die by the thousands at the hands of these imperialist bastards. Such is history, but alas we will fight, and we will continue to honor those who fought.

Some are ashamed of it. Others, mostly racists and white supremacists, are actually proud and find ways to justify it.
