>>24011393The first black person I ever met and the sole black person in our neighborhood who played on the same football team tried to rob me and my friends and we had practice literally every day. I saw him earlier that day, and then saw him the next day.
They're just brainless apes who look like humans because they have been blessed with the fruits of white civilization, they thought we were some kind of otherworldly beings when we first encountered them, some of them thought we were literally gods. That's how dramatic the gap in technology and knowledge was. They were so outclassed by us that they thought we were supernatural beings or people who had harnessed their power. This was not an isolated conclusion, relative to wider contact with other peoples.
You can bitch and whine about colonialism all you want but by all standards Europeans were fair masters and improved life in absolutely unprecedented and world changing fashion in many of these countries.
How many African and Indian lives have been saved by modern medicine since Europeans shared it with the world, you figure?
How many lives have been saved and improved by access to electricity. How many kids have been taught to read and write as a result of modern education institutions, again, a European design.
The reality is that if Europe had "stayed home", and hoarded it's wealth (of which the vast majority of was createda result of the industrial revolution and this is provable fact), it's knowledge and technology we would be undisputed masters of the world and would be looked at as literal gods, much like the cargo cults post ww2. The innovative, technological, systems based, cultural and scholastic advantages would be insurmountable.
So the reality is, we didn't try to to genocide you. But we could have, and we didn't. You ultimately benefited by inheriting modern (European) legal systems and structure modern (European) education institutions and structure, modern (European) technology.
