White man has done alot of shitty things.But so has every race.
The white man destroyed the native culture and turned them into alcoholics and destroyed their values,traditions and heritage.
But,that is because we were stronger,best man wins right?
Destroying a culture, turning a race into alcoholics, is nothing to be proud of, nor does it mean you're a big/best man because you do. That is exactly the mindset of the terrorists we are attempting to squash, as they are killing innocent people, trying to destroy our culture, tradition, country. Obviously you don't fully agree with it, or you wouldn't have penned the question.
I don't agree with you. You acknowledge the wrong doings, but attempt to justify it by saying, so has other races.
With that attitude, you make enemies, and if you think that we are able to fix our problems without support (from the world), take a look. We may be the wealthiest country, but we can't survive inclusively. We need, and utilize countries all over the world, and obviously they need us. A better attitude would serve us better in dealing with other countries. If the control of the oil in the M East falls into the wrong hands, our economy is done, major recession, if we don't import steel, cars, electronics, or use other countries for sweatshop (slave labor) production, we suffer. If Hispanics dont work low-paying jobs, our hotels, restaurants, jobs we don't want, there is nobody to work them.
Since we have made a habit of arrogantly using countries for our selfish purposes, we pay BILLIONS, (me, you, and every other tax-paying American), for their support in this war on terrorism. Which I'm sick of doing. While this attitude perpetrates, we pay, in times of crisis.
Since it's obvious the government cannot protect (nor run the country for the people effectively) the homeland, we are under the threat of more attacks. Which means that the very people we dismiss as nothing, could be the very person to save your ass, or mine.
Of course, the American way is to ignore em, disrespect em, then suck their ass when you do need their help.
