I'd need dna evidence. Fact is the conquistadors murdered millions upon millions for petty treasures.
I'm part native and even then most natives won't talk to me. There's just not many of them left.
Also most of those conquests was funded by religious institutions that murdered the Templars and stole the banks. Government is literally a religious puppet. It says so on most currencies.
After all the murdering was done they built tons of colonies and collapsed European communities to force migration to a "promised" land. Shortly after the term slave was identified as civilian or being civilized. The rest savages. But what do I know.
@SavvyPun How does Racism protect cultural identities? How does prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior does such thing?
It forces cultural identities to defend where they come from.
Forming social cultural bonds among any given race being slandered.
It's true that most cultures originate from a group of people that come from the same race, but racism doesn't protect the identity of the culture. Couldn't a person of a different race assimilate into that culture without hurting its identity?
Many black people are Christian and have assimilated into the Christian culture, without hurting its identity, for example.
Let's take USA for instance. The Africans don't even defend African culture. Through the period of persecution a new cultural identity was found and now they protect that.
I mean the whites forced their own culture onto them, and I'm pretty sure they were racist.
Things are steering every direction with culture of course. But the universe does the same.
My point is that a culture can be made up of people from different races. Therefore racism won't protect its cultural identity.
Well yes and no. It's always complicated because there is a positive and negative in every thing.
True, but I believe that the positives outnumber the negatives in this case.
I disagree and so does physics
The Americas have done this and the outcomes are pre visible. The ones that didnt mix their societies are doing the best while places like mexico which had native and colonist nationalism (as one) are shitholes
The America's did nothing but defend their land. The European communities did it all.
I don't get how Physics is involved into a cultural matter.
@OrthoGoat As I said, when the Europeans brought black slaves from Africa to the Americas, they forced them to assimilate into their cultures and religion. And they were pretty racist. Therefore it's not racism which protects a cultural identity.
firstly that was jews lol. Secondly what do you mean by racism?
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
alright well then racism is easily justified
and i dont see the reason why one would debate this since its pointless
@Koninos everything is energy. Even a thought is energy. Energy is comprised of a equal positive and negative in a loop. When it becomes more negative than positive, it implodes. More positive, it explodes. It's the laws of physics.
firstly they were slaves, and the assimilation meant things like getting educated, which about 20% of slaves received. Secondly their original societies were complete failures
We're literally talking about the effects of racism on culture. If you can't see why we're debating this, you might as well leave. @OrthoGoat
@SavvyPun Okay... Your point?
The simple equation e=mc (squared) says fathoms
What kind of education though?
I dont see why youd make the point that something is racist in the first place
The good Christian education, which forced black slaves to abandon their original culture and religion, and to assimilate into the European cultures and religions.
Yes
the culture of being succesful and the religion of god
2 gifts
Yes, that's pretty much not protecting one's cultural identity.
And that act stemmed from racism.
sure
Therefore racism doesn't protect cultural identity.
i think they should preserve theyre culture
Wait which societies failed? Because there's structures built we can't even replicate.
im not for assimilation
We're not talking about failed societies at the moment, I believe
