@ajahamza TomHartill is reacting toward the focus on white brutality from his experience, as are you others reacting toward the opposite. TomHartill wants you to concede that every culture and race is capable of and have commited atrocities. The europeans were at this stage, I'd agree, comparatively moral. If the mohicans were in the power position, I'm sure damage would have been greater (eg mongol invasions). Also, colonialism and slavery is based on economic interests, racism is an effect.

if the natives had equal tech history would be much different

The massacre after fort William henry was against the terms of surrender and the British didn't have any ammunition. It was the cause of the British mindset for the remainder of the war. And for the eradication of the tribe by smallpox blankets. A form of revenge

lol when you stop filtering the violent history of europeans to make them seem as a bloodless people but deny that privilege to non-europeans, perhaps, until then, white apologetics lol thank for playing/.

@NopeJPeg France, Korea, China, Britain and many other countries all did this. Scalping and keeping them as trophies are not considered barbaric? All nations had barbaric moments at some point. Stop trying to put the blame on somebody else.

@TomHartill During colonial occupation, colonizing groups were granted political, economic, and social privileges denied to the colonized, and the hierarchy was typically sustained by claims that the latter were racially inferior. the very purpose of colonial discourse was “to construe the colonized as a population of degenerate types on the basis of racial origin; in order to justify conquest”. Are you familar with Darwin theory? Non Europeans were colonialised because they were different race.

@TomHartill TheFrench - justified the maintenance of their colonial empire on the basis of their mission civilisatrice, their duty to bring civilization to the backward peoples of the world. The imposition of what is good for non whites by Western voices is racism. To suggest that non whites should culturally become more like Europeans is racism. To suggest that aspects of non white culture are regressive in the face of Western culture is racist This is why colonialism was based on race.

@TomHartill Colonialism was based on racist thinking. Spaniards in Americas - Indians entirely different origin; they were not human in the same sense, and that there was therefore no need to accord to them the same treatment as to one's fellow human beings = killing and plundering. British in colonies - imperialism a noble activity destined to bring civilization to the benighted members of other "races." contiiiii

@TomHartill i know its neccessary to cut down trees, but not to mass destroy forests and species territories.. and Yes, i would swap all that, if i was ready. i'll probably never do it anyway, as long as i'm on the same level as you. a internet dwelling debater that has nothing better to do. :|

@TomHartill correct me if im wrong, but hasn't the british empire done some of the greatest damage on foreign cultures and land? and by brits i also mean americans, their offspring, wich both overreacted in using natural resources for their own comfort and gain. Imagine trying to move armies through dense untouched north american woods, filled with hundreds of thousands of battle ready natives..
