Why do white people deny their evil colonial history?

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

@HeteroDox That's what I was trying to say. I can't fix the past. I can't fix my toaster oven.
