I have been reading into European history and there are many occurrences that remind me of what happened to black Americans and other non white races. For example. There are European races that had their history and their languages stripped from them by white people much as the slaves did. I would like to be fair here. So is it true that the Europeans suffered under similar tyranny to that which they subjected the brown races to?

It is the holiday season let's give this a rest. Actually this happened so long ago that it's time we gave it a little nap.

Science has shown that all humans were black only 10,000 years ago.
No one has lost language. The original countries still have it and where countries have become part of another or split between countries the language still persists.
But consider. The reason white races have moved on and are seen as dominant and having dominated others is that they move on. I suspect that if you look around you will find many people of many colours who have the same attitude and are successful in their lives.
Those who keep hiding behind things that have happened in the past are shackled to a ball and chain.
Time to cast off that chain and start living in the present, real world or you will forever remain a victim and pass that huge chip on your shoulder to your children!
Those who recognise the path are not doomed to repeat it - they have become wiser and moved on! It is those who are stuck in the past who are doomed to repeat it for they have not the ability to learn and move on!!!!
The United Kingdom was invaded and occupied many times. Each time they took the good and learned from the bad. Although one of the smallest countries in the world it has the forth largest economy and wields far more influence in the world than countries many, many times it's size.
It is all about history - you either learn and move on from the past or remain chained to it. The choice, as always remains with the individual.

Give me a break the problem is with humans no matter race culture,creed, condition, religion, political view or economic status, when given choice most throughout history have chosen to take more then they need while other people and even the nature of life around suffers. The dominance and prosecution and persecutions are shared, however no one or not thing of innocence deserves to be abused by those who constantly take more or keep more then they need.

It is very hard for American minorities to understand that before racism, Europeans were oppressing each other for centuries. Most European Americans ancestors came to this country to escape economic oppression. This was based on a class structure in Europe. If you are rich you need to stay rich on the backs of there’s. Thing is today, with affirmative action, I see many people of color in corporate America acting just like whitey. Once you are part of the affluent class, ethnicity doesn’t matter as long as you think like everyone else.

The human race as a whole screws every race over. Every race has been messed with. People of any color have screwed others over. Humans of any color shape and size have a problem with someone thats another color shape and size. It's just the way we run. It's not nice, but when you really think about it, everyones treated equally in the fact that they've been screwed over at least once.

If you watch Mind of Mencia he actually talked about this. First it was the indians, we stole their land, defiled their women. They got casinos nowadays and bought back their land. Then came the white folks, skirmishes, wars, several fights over whos better went down. Then the africans were kidnapped and brought to america to be raised as slaves, and they still havent gotten repperations. After that, it was Mexicans, and still is. But nowadays people are hating Hindus and Arabs because they do look similar but dont act the same way.

the only thing the white race can do 100% well is destroy, not only themselves but other races as well
it is not suprising that they have a lack of ability to love, when histrocially all they have done is hate,
if u look at the way some of them treat their own parents, as soon as they are old, shove them into an old persons home because they cannot be botherd to look after the person who raised them, then have the cheek to complain that the state does nothig.
they judge their own on the colour of their hair, their accent, their social status -- how stupid
they hate dark skin, then when the sun comes out theyre afriggin baking themselves - then are suprised when they get skin cancer -duh
they have no soul - a white man can go out commit a murder and carry on with his daily life like nothing has happened - how do they sleep at night
if this is the superior race then god help the rest of us!!

If you read a world history book you will see that screwing over other races is common to ALL races... its something PEOPLE do. Fortunately the practice is diminishing. It isn't gone, but its on its way out... slowly.

Long before the first white man violated the rights of the first oppressed minority, the white man was offended, thus making the white man a victim. According to the rules of leftist political correctness if one's ancestors were allegedly victims of any violation of their rights, then all members of that group can behave as they wish and demand from the majority what ever they desire as payment for what was allegedly done to others centuries ago.
Because of this, whites have the right to screw who they want because whites are all victims of crimes against whites long ago.
Those are the rules liberals made up out of compassion for us all and we have courts to make you obey them...

Of course but noone will ever speak of it. Look at what blacks do to each other all the time in africa right now? The savagry in which they kill and slaughter others is horrendous. Africa has an armed conflict stating like every 30 days there's some rebel group or guerilla organization who wants to fight. Look at Darfur.

Look at the Nazi's who tried to wipe out the Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses. People can be very cruel. Isn't the world much better with colour? If we all looked the same then we wouldn't be unique. It is very sad to see that some of this bull crap still happens today.
