Maybe an unpopular opinion but colonialism was a good thing in the long run.

Example: North Africa vs South Africa.

Countries that were colonized have higher levels of education, higher standards of living, a higher life expectancy etc. over similar shitholes that weren't.
I have made similar points about this in the past.

Native Americans had North America for thousands of years and did absolutely nothing with it.

Yeah I'm def not gonna do that.

Natives were roving bands of desolation until the white man showed up and organized this half of the world.
I know reading comprehension is not your strong suit but if that is what you really think, you should put in the work to increase your knowledge.

No one is trolling shit.

Your ignorance on the topic is showing and I suggested some reading material to help you get up to speed.

Two main points in the book that might be of interest:

  1. The level of cultural advancement and the settlement range of humans was higher and broader than previously imagined.
  2. The New World was not a wilderness at the time of European contact, but an environment which the indigenous peoples had altered for thousands of years for their benefit, mostly with fire.

No. Just no. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

This is more discrimination though. He's not saying other races are better than white people but rather subjecting you to an elitist stereotype based on being white, therefore saying you can never be a victim or tell a black or Mexican person you face the same struggles. It's disturbing and discriminatory but it's not the same as racism.
I am not surprised at all that you don't know what racism is.

On the OG, when you tried to challenge me on race and white people, you proved that you didn't know what Western Civilization was. I don't think you are qualified for this discussion. I won't get into answering your questions because you have to be trolling.

All anyone needs to know is that you thought Western Civilization and white culture were two different things. You were then banned from the OG.

I did? You'll need to refresh my memory.

I still stand by what I posted above. Racism entails the thought that one race is below Another for some reason. This attack on white males isn't saying white males are inferior, It's saying They're privileged and that does not fit the definition of racism. Discrimination yes but racism no.

Where is the part in those examples that were given that state or hint that whites are inferior?

Haha all the racial shitposting in this thread and I'm the one who gets singled out as a racist by this asshole.

Diami, other than Gat and Alienator, who no longer post here, you're the most oversensitive SJW commie so I can't image how you'd be a reliable arbiter on who is a racist.

Re-read it again, slower this time and pay careful attention to any qualifiers or lack thereof in the definition.

Rereading that 100 times doesn't change the fact that there needs to be a belief that one race is inferior or superior to another. There are no outlier(s) they all revolve around the belief of racial superiority or inferiority.

Nobody said you were racist. Seems to me as I said in my very first post, the miscommunication here revolves around people not understanding what racism is.
