Having read the histories of other countries, I saw that expansion was everything, and that the world's surface being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could. Cecil Rhodes

2019-08-03 22:53:07 UTC  

Yes and?

2019-08-03 22:53:10 UTC  

Rhodes was woke

2019-08-03 22:53:33 UTC  

And having these ideas meant Britain moved away faster from Rhodes' ideas than they otherwise would have

I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives.

Like being one of the first to abolish slavery

2019-08-03 22:53:49 UTC  

And pushing for its abolishment worldwide

2019-08-03 22:53:56 UTC  

Empire was racial IMO

2019-08-03 22:54:03 UTC  

And?

2019-08-03 22:54:09 UTC  

and a living exhibition of Anglo supremacism

2019-08-03 22:54:16 UTC  

You say that like having an idea means you have to get it right from the first year of your existence

2019-08-03 22:54:21 UTC  

That's not how things work

2019-08-03 22:54:24 UTC  

It ended up being racial

2019-08-03 22:54:24 UTC  

England hasnt always been a bastion of tolerance etc

2019-08-03 22:54:27 UTC  

britain pushed for the abolishment of slavery when she could profit from it, dont make it seem like they gave a shit

2019-08-03 22:54:34 UTC  

about the slaves

2019-08-03 22:54:38 UTC  

Noone said they've been a bastion of tolerance

2019-08-03 22:54:39 UTC  

it wasn;t particularly racial at its onset

2019-08-03 22:54:52 UTC  

It was

2019-08-03 22:55:00 UTC  

the early colonial efforts were more religiously rationalized then anything else

2019-08-03 22:55:11 UTC  

Yeah to civilise the savages

2019-08-03 22:55:15 UTC  

spread of the true faith and whatnot

2019-08-03 22:55:17 UTC  

which is a racial idea

2019-08-03 22:55:21 UTC  

is it?

2019-08-03 22:55:27 UTC  

' cultural ' id say

2019-08-03 22:55:30 UTC  

lol

2019-08-03 22:55:31 UTC  

It is imperialist not racist

2019-08-03 22:55:33 UTC  

it;s a religious idea

2019-08-03 22:55:41 UTC  

which was tied to people

2019-08-03 22:55:44 UTC  

it's a religious legitimization of conquest

2019-08-03 22:55:51 UTC  

Religion and race go hand in hand

2019-08-03 22:55:55 UTC  

Tf

2019-08-03 22:55:57 UTC  

ok, moron

2019-08-03 22:56:00 UTC  

Cope

2019-08-03 22:56:45 UTC  

I guess that's why there is lots of Christians in Subsaharan Africa

2019-08-03 22:56:52 UTC  

and South America

2019-08-03 22:56:57 UTC  

and Korea

2019-08-03 22:56:57 UTC  

Are they the same denomination?

2019-08-03 22:57:01 UTC  

No

2019-08-03 22:57:05 UTC  

All have racial lens

2019-08-03 22:57:09 UTC  

Koreans are Lutheran
