Yes white people have done some shitty stuff in the past. Most of the European countries we came from, advanced more quickly than most others technologically and societally so it makes sense that some of us would have taken advantage of that. Slavery involved numerous races, it wasn't just white people enslaving black people. Watch some Thomas Sowell to get a better understanding.

I am a white man with red hair, born in Canada but my family came from Scotland, England and Germany. Some shitty stuff happened to the native people of Canada right after we got here. Much of it was horrible beyond comprehension. The problem is, the more everyone who's been victimized in the past, stays in victim mentality, it's never going to do anything good. What good does it do that I am coerced into feeling guilty simply because I was born white. That brings along with it baggage that I didn't ask for.

I am proud to be white, white people have done so many amazing things. We ended slavery. We've created some of the most amazing civilizations that have ever existed. People from other countries predominantly non-white, want to immigrate to our countries for the opportunities available.

I am absolutely NOT a white supremacist. In no way whatsoever. The things I said are generally just factual and I am sick of being told to feel guilty or to essentially apologize for being white. I believe we were all created equal under God but I don't believe God would support this kind of broad stroke judgment upon an entire race.

Every race has done shitty stuff. Stop running around the mulberry bush.

Fuck white guilt, no white person in the US alive today has ever legally owned a slave, how many whites died to free slaves?
