[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [b]Every ounce of modern civilization now in third world nations was brought there by the British Empire of american corporations. Thats not racism it is simply a fact. When the global frontier opened around 1500 Europe began to spread modernism around the globe. It is a process that is reaching maturity today and is accepted as gospel by historians everywhere.[/b][/QUOTE] I never said it wasn't a fact! The British Empire was just that, an empire. They colonized countries around the world. Yes, in the end they may have helped these nations by introducing more advanced technology, but do you really think that was their purpose was to help the natives? No, their purpose was to help themselves! What you don't understand is that many of the native economies of these colonized countries suffered because of the colonization, and the only way the natives could succeed was by depending on their colonizers. But this is not the purpose of this thread. The sole purpose of this thread is to educate peoples, especially whites like yourself, about the major biases of so-called Western History. This topic goes out [i]especially[/i] to you "Horemheb," since you yourself seem to be caught up in all the nonsense that this article exposes. You actually claimed that there was no such thing as Eurocentrism and that it was made up by "black radicals," when the facts are that almost all groups of people are ethnocentric regardless of race or creed. Many peoples have seen themselves as the center of the world, but Europeans of all people are guilty of this, since recently in history they gained world power and pre-eminence. "Black-radicals" of the 20th century U.S. weren't the first ones to realize this. Black peoples everywhere in the Americas and in Africa, aboriginal Australians and it's not just black people but peoples in the Middle-East, Central Asia, South Asia especially India, China, basically [b]all[/b] people of color!! And that's a lot of people. Even white Westerners have recently become aware of their racial and cultural bias. In actuality it's really silly to deny Eurocentrism yet acknowledge the existence of racism! That's because racism and white supremacy is a direct product of Eurocentrism. To deny Eurocentrism but acknowledge racism, is like denying that a child has ever had parents. The main thing is that what you apparently don't understand is this is not an "attack" on the West or some "bashing" on the West as you and others like you are fond presuming. This is more like an attack on the past and continuing mistakes of racial and cultural bias, both in history as well as in social practices! I do not "hate" the West or Westerner, because I myself live in West as a Westerner. I live in the greatest nation in the world, the good old US of A and am proud of it!! I acknowledge that the "West" was founded by white Europeans and, in fact, I am also grateful for all the achievements and positive things those Europeans have done! The U.S. has gives me freedom that many countries in the world do not allow. It was white men who came up with these ideals that have been made a reality for many (but with harder work for some.) What I denounce are the negative and overall wrong impacts the West has had and am hoping we, as Westerners can improve them! [/QB][/QUOTE]
