Isn’t it strange how this only applies to white nations.
There can’t be an evil South Africa, or an evil Rhodesia…
There can’t be an america because we’re a mythical “melting pot”.
And this violates the order of “indigenous peoples”…
But there can never be an “Indigenous” wales, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, Netherlands, etc etc etc… nooooo, those are all cultural melting pots too, full of “diversity”…
But you never see Japan, or China, or Africa, or anywhere else referred to as needing “more diversity”….
You make a valid point. Whether you believe in evolution or creation, humanity's history is about migration and colonialism.
The distinction is that contemporary colonialism is the history of white Europeans conquering indigenous peoples globally. Now that generations have benefited from the fruits of European colonialism, it's fashionable to condemn them as "racist".
When I was a young musician I used to play bass with an African percussionist from Ghana. He used to give demonstrations in African percussion to schools in the Detroit suburbs.
One of his favorite lecture topics was to teach children that slavery wasn't about Europeans stealing Africans from Africa. Rather, that powerful African tribes sold subjugated people to the Europeans and profited from it.
Of course, mouths dropped and teachers went nuts when faced with this basic truth. The same is true about the history of so-called "European colonialism".
Notice how Europeans take ALL the blame for bringing disease to the new world, but there’s absolute crickets over Arabs bringing the Black Death to European cities…
Hey, you're over-generalizing here, don't you think?
Many, MANY caucasians' ancestors came here as indentured servants, or just plain poor people. Several member of the Irish immigrant family I descend from died of 'black lung' from working in coal mines as indentured servants. They were driven here by the ruin of their original homeland by the English government's abusive policies.
And many of African descent came here after slavery was abolished.
And while people may consider themselves to be indigenous, or descended from African slaves, sometimes they are they are more caucasian than not.
The history of genocide against Native Americans is well-documented. However, my comment wasn't coming from the 'white guilt' perspective. See my Thomas Sowell and William F. Buckley, Jr. references. History is replete with tales of subjugation.

It’s blatant anti white racism.

Really tired of the white guilt schtick, here.

Yeah, you're right -- my bad.
At this point I wish my ancestors owned slaves and killed Indians. We don’t have any cool stories.

Very good comment. I agree.
