Kiyan Hakim Ok, so you’re implying moral equivalence in terms of racism between the two sides? Here’s a hint. Only one side actually intended to destroy entire races and cultures from existence.

TBF, only one side was undoubtedly genocidal.

Pixel Smile Show me where Britain and France wanted to exterminate entire ethnic groups for Lebensraum?

@awddfg There is a reason manslaughter is treated as less severe than murder in the criminal justice system. And second, no nation is responsible for the actions for their ancestors. Otherwise, where do you stop? No nation would be morally superior or inferior to another nation.

@stabeyy Not sure why you feel the need to compare the Holocaust to British Colonialism. My point was that there would likely be similar amounts of genocide and suffering without colonization. It didn’t help, certainly, but there’s no indication the Africans acted any different than anyone else when they got good weapons and had the ability to form empires (which is to say, they formed empires and killed a ton of people.)

@stabeyy To be fair, it’s not like the Zulus were saints either. Today, we act as if they were the good guys because they were the underdogs, but honestly, they were pretty genocidal. History is more complicated than good guy vs bad guy.
