For every action there's a reaction. We simply cannot ignore cause and effect. Just like all things in our world, negative forces must be met with positive ones in order to achieve balance.
There are many factors that contribute to our consequences. Genocide is most certainly not one of them. When we speak of genocide, we should consider the indigenous Americans and African slaves, not white settlers who arrived here of their own volition and driving westward with their defiant and self-righteous spirit of "Manifest Destiny"...
From my perspective, all humanity owns a lion's share of "evil".
That's why it's so important for us all to remain vigilant about scrupulously monitoring and governing our interactive behaviors.
There's just nothing like abiding by the Golden Rule...
Can anyone answer this question for me. What do I have to lose if interracial marriages are on the rise? I personally don't see myself losing anything. All of this fear going on when it comes to interracial marriages. I have never had that kind of fear. I've never thought "what if my grandchildren don't look like me" or "what if my children don't look like me". I don't have children, a spouse, or a significant other. I'm single as single can get. I've never really been in a position where women of any race were truly attracted to me or saw me as "boyfriend" material. Oh well. I am concerned about whether or not someone will want to divorce me if I do get married. If I am married, I would be more concerned that I have a wife that is kind, loving, and won't try to start arguments with me. I would be more concerned about any potential children I have being nice children, successful children, children who make good grades. Race is the least of my worries.
And for anyone that wants to talk about divorce rates, you can find same race couples with sky-high divorce rates. African-American couples have the highest divorce rates of any same race couple, to the tune of 70%. As an African-American male, if I have judge solely on the statistics, I might end up divorced no matter who I marry.
Every race has practiced slavery and oppression. Whites were just more successful at conquering the rest of the planet. It wasn't as if non-whites weren't trying.
Read some history. Arab Muslims, Persians, Aztecs, Mongol hordes, the Japanese in WW II, genocide in Rwanda, etc.
I'm sick and tired of this "blame whitey" nonsense.
I most certainly do agree that all have practised most egregious forms of inhumanity to others. Nobody has a monopoly on evil, greed, hatred, or egoism.
However, if we are to continue to evolve in a progressively healthful manner, we're most assuredly going to have to relinquish the idea that "conquering the planet" has anything remotely to do with the concept of "success".
Advanced technology allowed whites to make their deeds and works of inhumanity more of a ubiquitous or widespread iniquity. They therefore were allowed to wreaked havoc in a more global fashion.
After evil deeds were done, any attention given to the after effects of such deeds can't simply be ignored.
If my great-grandfather raped your grandmother, killed your grandfather, stole your property, and kidnapped your mother, I'd feel personally responsible for compensating you for my great -grandfather's transgressions.
