Did you just say the damage they were causing!

indeed, i think there need to be a serious update

[Guidance]

Let's not confuse and overlook things.  I'm half white and half Native American.  Both of my heritages have been oppressed and enslaved.  Whites have been put through slavery and suffering just as blacks have.  Irish people are still being oppressed by England, as they have for 800 years.  Natives are still being discriminated and systematically deleted in America today.  Natives are actually in far worse conditions than any other race in America.  Color of skin should play no part in spirituality and belief.  Oppression is colorblind in history.  It's about taking over and enslaving and oppressing other human beings.  I hope I would not be excluded from Rasta or viewed differently just because of my skin. .

Jah Bless.

it seems as one 'argument' of the supremacy culture is to look at the oppressed people and blame them for their lack of development(is a viewpoint really according to what you value, not all people agree to the value-system of the supremacy culture) when what they see actually is an effect of hundreds of years of oppression.

and with all honesty i don't think it is fair to compare the oppression of the irish with that of black people. with the glance of an eye i can't even tell the difference between an irish person and an english.

Oppression in history (which in many cases continues to today) is certainly not colourblind!

Taking the example of America. Native Americans suffered genocide, enslaved Africans built it to the Europeans specifications, then Europeans have run it up until this day.  Tell me what is colourblind about that.

The Maafa continues up until today.  African and other people all over the world and in the west itself are colonialised, oppressed and technically enslaved - culturally, physically, mentally, spiritually etc in this capitalist imperialist system.  The western nations' development relies on others starving and being abused, their land being raped and their being stripped of their culture and self-determination.  Whilst these same people are encouraged to idolise and imitate Western white culture.

I would suggest reading Yurugu by Marimba Ani.
