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.
It seems like you've never learnt that the vast, vast majority of Africa was colonized.

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.
Actually European settlers came across vast tracks of arable land that had been previously been farmed a few generations beforehand, but due to smallpox and other diseases introduced by European settlers that spread through the indigenous population vast amounts of people, whole settlements, were wiped out. It's believed by some that over 90% of people were wiped out by these diseases in some areas, because they didn't have prior exposure or resistance to these virulent strains.

Soon after Europeans and enslaved Africans arrived in the New World, bringing with them the infectious diseases of Europe and Africa, observers noted immense numbers of indigenous Americans began to die from these diseases. One reason this death toll was overlooked is that once introduced, the diseases raced ahead of European immigration in many areas. Disease killed a sizable portion of the populations before European written records were made. After the epidemics had already killed massive numbers of natives, many newer European immigrants assumed that there had always been relatively few indigenous peoples. The scope of the epidemics over the years was tremendous, killing millions of people—possibly in excess of 90% of the population in the hardest hit areas—and creating one of "the greatest human catastrophe in history, far exceeding even the disaster of the Black Death of medieval Europe",[23] which had killed up to one-third of the people in Europe and Asia between 1347 and 1351.

One of the most devastating diseases was smallpox, but other deadly diseases included typhus, measles, influenza, bubonic plague, cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, mumps, yellow fever and pertussis, which were chronic in Eurasia.[29]

How so? I'm just genuinely curious.
I had something typed but deleted it. I shouldn’t air my family’s issues in public. I’m likely the most recognizable person on this forum and it would make me feel a bit uncomfortable. It’s getting late for me but tomorrow if you pm me I will explain the best I can if you’re genuinely interested.

My people giving them smallpox-laden blankets had a lot to do with it, but let's be realistic for a second here.

The land I'm currently standing on was at one point all swampland (the southwestern half of the state still is).

It wasn't until people like Henry Flagler and Napoleon Broward came in and drained the land that it actually became an urban area.

Do you really think the Natives could have dredged vast areas of swampland even if they had wanted to?

Come on, man. Just come on.

You don't need to air your family issues here if you don't want or it makes you uncomfortable. God knows it is none of our business. You seem like a genuine guy. Don't let stuff that you can't control(especially politics) get to you. If you ever need to just talk shit out they have some good people here and feel free to pm me if you need to.

The indians were too busy killing each other and taking slaves to bother with improving on the land

This is from your own link (a very shitty one but nontheless)

Racism supports ideas such as the belief that whites are better than blacks, or that Jews were responsible for the world’s problems, as claimed by the Nazis.


In order for it to be racial discrimination the discrimination must be rooted to a belief that a race is superior or inferior to another.

Example of racial discrimination

I don't let you sit at the front of the bus because I think your race means you don't deserve to be sitting at the front of the bus with my race because I believe your race is inferior to mine.

In order for the racism to come in to play a belief that a race is superior or inferior to Another must be met.

In that video he is not saying anyone is inferior or superior therefore the criteria of racism is not met.
You deflect and conflate what I say.

Discrimination based on race is racism, you don't get to make up your own definition. You conveniently ignore my other points as well. I am done talking to you.

Fact: You were banned from the OG for your racist views, so I am not surprised that you are playing dumb on racism directed at whites. You were also banned from Sherdog or whatever site that was. Perhaps there is a reason you keep getting banned.

You do not know what the definition of racism is, It's in fact you that is deflecting and conflating by trying to bring up my ban on a different forum to support your argument because you haven't one.

The only people agreeing with you here are those who are upset about gayforlongo getting pinked for arguing with me. Notice no one has joined in to say You're correct?

Obviously not going to change your mind so good day.

These race based arguments that get started in the past month that fill threads with triolling shit posts have one common denominator.

No worries bro.i have her on ignore .there is no point responding to an obvious troll
Man, I want to like her. I have zero issues with dissenting views at all, I actually quite like it. I don't care if someone hates white people, own it, say it and back up your reasons as to why you feel that way, I really respect that. But I hate when people play coy or beat around the bush and being vague about it.

But I totally get why you guys don't want these discussions on here at all. If that is the sentiment I will do my best not to contribute to those discussions, I just like a good debate from time to time, regardless of the issue.

Its the constant trolling that shits the forum up. We could make a thread about friggen cupcakes and certain posters would still find a way to make it into a race thread

False racist accusations (much like what is happening in this thread) suck big time but It's a way for shit disturbers to try to disturb shit. They might like to anounce how they have you on ignore but magically they are following you around from thread to thread and gossiping about you without any provocation whatsoever.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I am still finding my way in this forum so it is good to get some feedback.
Now, something to lighten things up a bit...
