@mathheadpaul8571 It's the reality of life on the planet Earth. The stronger and more adaptable dominate and flourish to the detriment of the weaker and less capable of adapting to change. It can't be looked at any other way. It's the same for animals, plants, insects, microbes...any living thing.
In terms of the human organism, it is bit hard to look at the last few hundred years of human history and not acknowledge Europeans have been dominant over others.
In the past, peoples from non-European areas of the planet have been dominant for a period of time, as will almost certainly happen again in the future.
The other point, in terms of perspective, is that Europeans have done just as bad (if not worse) things to themselves as they have done to others including slavery, torture, genocide and dispossession of property and territory. Just look at the suffering, misery and cruelty inflicted during WW1 and WW2 or The Inquisition.
Humans are in a constant state of conflict.
Why should people of European ancestry (White people) feel guilty because they happen to have been strong enough and resourceful enough to dominant and subjugate much larger populations of people with relatively few of their own?
Persians, Egyptians, Mongols, Chinese, Mayans, Incas, Songhai, Zulus etc. etc. are all allowed to be proud of their violent, conquering ancestral empires...why should the British have to pretend they are ashamed of theirs?
