"White people are ignorant"

[deGrimm]

Look at me, everyone. I can claim white people are ignorant. I'm so smart and open-minded. I am going to completely ignore the fact that only 1.6% of whiteys owned slaves at American slavery's peak. I am also going to ignore the fact that African tribe leaders sold those evil white devils slaves. After all, white people are evil and ignorant filthy maggots. I am going to ignore that Vikings and Celts were in America centuries before that damn cracker Christopher Columbus. I'm going to ignore that racial segregation in the 20th century was practiced worldwide and not just by honkeys. If you have a problem, blame it on the white man. If a Hispanic man shoots an African-American boy, brutalize a white devil.

Now all we need to do is make a long a long explanation about something everyone already knows!

I don't think you understood what I said. This was a joke about idiots who do think white people are ignorant.

Exactly. I don't care that a lot about what we're taught about European history is exaggerated. I hate them because they're white, period. They're a bunch of fucking racists.

Conversely, most of what we're taught about world history is very Eurocentric and downplays the success of civilizations outside of Europe.

Racist against white people because they're racist? Why does that sound hilarious...

I never learned a goddamn thing about the world until Europe or Asia got involved with it. Africa? North and South America? Australia? Apparently there's no recorded history of those things before Europeans arrived.

Yep, because sticking it to the Man is more important than the real story. Sadly, it's also why some people bring up negative stereotypes about minorities and use that against them, but at the same time, this is why they have earned such a dubious reputation because they want to blame their problems on the white man and not on themselves. Obviously, there are plenty of African Americans and Hispanic people who are hard working, decent and know right from wrong, but the minority of those people are the ones that seem to get all the attention.

You really don't get it. I'm being sarcastic. People who hate whites for slavery (that actually involved blacks, too), et cetera are retarded. Non-whites practiced slavery in the 19th-century and before and racial discrimination in the 20th century, too. They just love blaming da wyte man even though other races did the same evil things.

That's because they like to portray Europeans as these evil monsters who invaded other people's lands and killed them while they were trying to live peacefully. They don't focus on non-European civilizations nearly as much because it would show that, unbelievably, other races did the same evil things that white people did. Gasp!

I DON'T THINK WHITE PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT! What I wrote was making fun of people who think that!

That is true depending on what time period you're looking at. Namely, the most recent one. That explains why people still focus on it today.

Here's another hint: "sure they were bad, but others were just as bad" isn't a very good defense.

You realize that at the same time it makes other races looked uncivilized and less successful, right? Thinking that way benefits no one. That is not the reason non-European civilizations aren't focused on, they're not focused on because of eurocentrism.

Correct. Even if it was true that all white people kidnapped Africans and used them as slaves (the truth is that a very small percentage of white Americans owned slaves and they were almost always bought from African tribe leaders themselves), the whites today (except for the racist extremist ones, but there are racist extremists in every race) also think that slavery was horrific. Saying that white people are evil for something that their ancestors did (even though, in truth, barely any of them did) is like saying that the sons or daughters of a convicted murderer are evil because of their father's actions.

Just for the record, Hispanics are White.

Yes, and they exaggerate the hell out of it. They make it look like 99% of whites owned slaves and Africans weren't involved in it. Africans sold whites slaves and, as stated before, only 1.6% of whites were slave owners at its peak. Also, they make it sound like the Native Americans were these innocent, poor things while paying no attention to all the savage things they did (such as the consecration of Templo Mayor VI in 1487, in which so many people were brutally tortured and murdered that the pyramids' stairs were like waterfalls of blood).

Here's another hint: "sure they were bad, but others were just as bad" isn't a very good defense.

Saying white people are evil for things that all other races did is entirely illogical.

You realize that at the same time it makes other races looked uncivilized and less successful, right?

I learned plenty about the inventions of the Chinese, the astronomy and mathematics of the Arabs, et cetera in basic world history classes. However, the Europeans' brutality was given especial emphasis, which makes people think that they were the only ones who committed evil acts.

The ones in South America, probably the majority of them are white or near a majority.

As for Mexico, no. 70% of them are mestizos (Indigenous and Spanish), with the rest being some white, fully Indigenous, and Asians. El Salvador and Honduras in Central America have similar demographics.

Shit, I meant Latinos. I just went retarded there for a second.

you linked a WND article to support your point? you do realize that they're just as tinfoil-hatty (if not more so) than Alex Jones's Infowars, right?

[HollowedPumkinz]

Geez, whose looking to bite your ass? But yeah, what you say is true to an extent, I remember a story linked on NG where a black and mexican cop shot this black guy near Chicago and they went batshit over the next few days with riots. Of course this was all smoke so they could loot and steal without as much consequence under the guise of out rage. (which was over nothing because the cops acted properly)

[BrokenDeck]

You know that this is going to do nothing but instigate a flame war and needless name calling.

Stop.
