And we would like it back ok, it was only a loan. :D
I've read the history books and such and yes the europeans (historically wise) weren't probably the nicest people in the world - I particularlly hate this idea that there is only one true "christian" god and everyone elses' false.
A few years ago a friend of mine worked over in Nigeria, she used to send me the local newspaper, in english of course - one story was about a nigerian farmer who was talking about his normal year, this year he was facing famine, some of his cattle had died, his wife was sick with malaria and he had three children (under ten to look after) after all this is answer was "with the grace of god and his son, Jesus, everything will get better", faith is one thing but, I find it quite alarming, not that he believed in God, but that someone went to Nigeria at some point and taught everyone that the Christian religion was the only one. How dare they.
Throughout history man, as I have said has done some pretty nasty things - child prostitution, slavery, drug trafficking, genocide all done by white Europeans, funnily enough they still happen, but not just by"white" people.
I also hate the idea that only white people are racist; there's racism in all races/colours/creeds.
In Britain, we have segregated schools (by race and religion and sex), teachers allowed to wear ethnic costumes, we are not allowed to wear crucifixes in public in case we offend anyone, "how dare you mention Easter or Christmas, my faith doesn't believe in it", yeah but you still take Christmas Day off don't you. Bull shit political correctness gone way over the top and a possible reason for the problems in the first place. Everybody is trying not offend anyone else, while offending their own.
btw: My heritage is English, Scottish, Irish, and German, I am a
White
Anglo
Saxon
Protestant- which probably makes me a perfect candidate for the KKK. I call asian people - asian/oriental, afro-carribean - afro carribean, white - white, I am not part of the (British) National Front, which I believe has affiliations with the KKK.
I will NOT apologize for being white, nor for my ancestry.
Merry Christmas, when it comes :rolleyes:
