historically speaking, why do whites seem the most greedy?

[Delinquent]

I couldn't figure out a good way to word the question but this is what I mean.

These are just somewhat vague explanations and I'm not that educated on other races when it comes to this sort of utter greed in history so I'm all ears to hear about them.

When I say whites, I mean historically speaking, anglo saxon, European, whatever.

Why is it that When whites were "conquering" the Americas, they automatically considered the land "their" land? Why slaughter people instead of living harmoniously?

Another thing is the total disregard for earth's creatures and earth's ecosystem until it actually affects their day to day life? For instance, I just watched a special on shark attacks in Hawaii. The response was to kill all large tiger sharks that were spotted. The native Hawaiians considered this wrong for religous and personal reasons yet they were ignored because people couldn't swim in "their" ocean without being in fear of an animal that is living in it's domain. It took the people years to figure out that killing them wasn't the way to solve the problem.

uh, the mongols did this too.. as did the japanese.. chinese.. africans.. and others

So it's just the "whites" turn in history to do these horrible actions?

No, its just that the "white" history that you are most familair with. There are similar things going on in the world today, we are just sheltered from it here in the US.

I'd say all races and all people for the most part have been part of some terrible things.

Anyone who was 100% good or passive is likely gone from the earth at this point. Only the strong survived.

It's human nature to want to expand. Whites aren't the only ones who do it. The Native American tribes fought each other, the same thing with African tribes.

It's not the "whites" turn in history. The whites just have it well documented.

down with "whitey".

That is a funny joke you have made. And I am a robot.

good point bro...however, i think we have been big bullies for some time...IMO...

 

[slat1]

As Lestat mentioned all sorts of people in history have done it. It is going on in every part of the world as we speak...

 

[eat big]

If you want to talk about committing horrible acts to obtain/keep land, look to Africa now. Sudan Genocide and Rwandan Genocide.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

The end of the world will probably be caused by whites, and if in my time here I see it coming, boy am I gonna fuck some shit up before my lights go out; if nothing else than just as a last ditch effort to spite my destructive ethnic brethren.

 

[UA_Iron]

instead of localized barbarism us whites had better means of transportation and technology where we could have major barbarism conquests.

exactly

 

[redguru]

Look up muslim expansion in the seventh century A.D. (common era for the non-Christians). Exterminated whole cities in the Eastern Empire. The recent Rwandan Genocide was killing 30,000 people a day. They say that 1 out of every five men share genes with Ghengis Khan. All kinds of people are brutal. Caucasians don't even have close to a monopoly.

wouldnt that mean the scientist would have to have been black if there wernt whitemen yet? blah, leave it to them to make a messup like that...



jk!!!!

 

[Delinquent]

Thanks for all the info. I'll have to look up some of the suggestions.

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

Because whitey had superior civilizations.

African chiefs sold their own people as slaves. We bought them. It was bad. But the alternative was shooting blowguns at giraffes.

10 generations later, would you rather be a US black or African?

damn...harsh, but sensical.

Bro. It's true. Some mistakes were done. But in the other hand more than half of the "civilized world" has been created by the race (white). Of course you can think about others like for ex. Japan. But in it's majority, think about the big inventions, creations, industrial revolutions that lead to the present.

About the disregard of mother nature, is due to intelligence. Intelligence is not part of this nature. In fact, according to my philosophy, intelligence is a deformation or an Illness inside a life system like in this case, the universe. An intelligent civilization, will destroy it's environment and eventually himself. But at the end, it's not an "autodestruction"; It's just a response from this little cell called "earth". The intelligent civilization will not exist anymore in this planet but will be able to transmit it's genetic code to another planet; where they will start a new colonization to transform another kind of nature; first surviving, then using, then abusing. The same happens with other intelligent civilizations in the rest of the universe and so on in the paralell universes. Everything is part of the whole harmony and balance that keeps our universe alive. That harmony and balance works due to a huge concentration of energy spreaded across himself (what George Lucas called "The Force" for Star Wars) Once you realize how beautiful is this life system, "the Universe", you find out that he was born, he lives and he will die just like any other life form we know. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of billions of Universes are growing and dying in an infinite space and infinite period of time. You can feel how insignificant we are and how useless we are. When you discover what is really important is when you are everyday closer to what religions called God.

Everyone walking the face of this earth has ancestors who have killed, conquered, raped and maimed someone at some point in time. I am Scottish and Cherokee, my ancestors were the "original" Americans. White people have never been any more or less brutal than any other race. Every race has had to fight someone or they would have been wiped off the face of the earth long ago. Native American tribes helped seal their fate by helping white people fight against other tribes who they had been enemies with for centuries. It would have taken MUCH longer to conquer the tribes without Indian scouts leading white soldiers to them. Whites had more advanced weaponry and did to others what they would have done to them if they could. Slavery was made possible because some African tribes were able to conquer and sell their neighbors to white slave traders. Does anyone actually think that a handful of whites could sail to Africa and take slaves without the help of other Africans? Slavery is still practiced in Africa to this day, is this the fault of the white race? Whites had superior military resources and the mindset to advance out of the stone age, is that greed or ambition? When there is genocide and famine, who does the world call on to help? America and Europe, that's who. Does anyone remember the American soldiers who died in Somalia (Black Hawk Down) while trying to stop the starvation and murder of innocent people? And Bosnia, where we intervened to stop Muslims from being exterminated? This was not done out of greed, it was humanitarian. There is greed everywhere, like the Middle East ruling elite who control the oil, African leaders who live extravagant lives while others starve to death next to them. The white race has advanced civilization and is resented for it, often by those who have benefited the most as a result.

 

[Lestat]

the point is, I don't think whites are innocent, but they aren't the only brutal ones out there.
