The Sins Of Our Colonizers: Europe's Highbrows
Imagine Themselves As The World's New Royalty

Great Article! FTA: "current leaders who relentlessly perpetuate hatred toward Americans" Europe's current leaders actually hate their own people.

Europeans, especially the French, Germans and English. are barbarians. THEY are the warmongers of these times.

Have to disagree with her on one point. She calls them smart, they aren't. They are 'educated' but that doesn't mean they're smart.

So . . . yet another article about who has sinned the most and who has sinned the least, while this side or that side smugly pats themselves on the back (no sin there--nope, none!). Give it a rest! ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God!

Much of this article could have been written by a radical leftist decrying "whiteness." I'm sorry when people, who are generally rational, adopt any of the rot that leftists spew. It is a fact that this country was founded by Europeans, mostly from England. Obviously there are dark chapters in European history just as there are in ours. It is a fact that the civilization that began in Europe and was brought here is the best this world has produced. I for one am not on board with condemning our shared civilization just because obnoxious Europeans are encountered. We certainly have plenty of obnoxiousness right here in the USA.

Several years ago, while living in Europe, I made a trip to visit my s-i-l’s family in Yorkshire. Some friends of her parents joined us for dinner and began lecturing me on racism in America, a country they’d never even visited. I took all I could and finally shared my thoughts. Yes, England outlawed slavery before the U.S. did but the English aristocracy and Parliament lived thousands of miles and an ocean or more away from the slaves they freed leaving them without the problem of imagining how to protect themselves in the event that former slaves decided to even the score against their captors. And when I was asked to explain how the South could have defended slavery I pointed out to them that my own ancestors were Quakers who worked on the Underground Railroad in Ohio but that the Southerners inherited the institution from the English and that the U.S. had nothing to do with introducing slavery and everything to do with eradicating it where England had planted it. I wanted to be diplomatic as I was a guest in my sister-in-law’s parent’s home and they were kind and gracious people but their friends seemed blind to the historical guilt of England. It is galling when Europeans pull the worldly sophisticate card on Americans. They can be extremely condescending.

perhaps i'm the exception that proves the rule. i've wandered through europe-expecting to be excoriated. never happened. not even from the french. parisians were helpful-especially w/ map reading. the english took me by the hand and popped me in front of the post office, the bus stop, marks and sparks. christian charity is not dead.

I have nothing but disdain for European leaders. They have willingly allowed themselves to become utterly incapable of defending themselves and since they keep their hands out to grasp American tax dollars for their own defense they have been able to fully invest in social welfare. Radical Muslims are in the process of taking over their countries while they’re busy excoriating our deportation efforts. It’s the same scenario that the Leftists would love to impose on the US.

I'm still ticked that those schmucks smirked at Trump.

Every time I hear the word "Royals" I get mental flashes of Harry and Meghan and then it all becomes clear. Harry is a child of those types of stuffed shirts and Meghan is a child of Hollywood and then perspective sets in.

Oh brother...tired of all the black and white fighting....as put forth by intellectuals....my black brothers have risen from a nightmare plantation mentality...and they're gonna kick some butt.....

In line with #6 and the gist of this article: While being employed in England as the only American in the English Division of a Swiss company back in the 1980's I came to have a general disdain for those in authority based on a number of personal experiences. As I boarded a plane to fly back to the U.S. via London and New York in the later part of December 1988 on my way to a new job several days before the Lockerbie bombing I asked my self what was the major takeaway of my "English" experience and I came up with the following: "An Englishman is someone who is outraged if you do not honorably accept the dishonorable treatment they have prepared for you." PS - I also worked in Scotland during that time and learned two things: (1) The Scots are a completely different animal than the English, so much so that I count several of them as very close lifelong friends, and (2) The Scots do speak English even if upon hearing it you'd swear it was some foreign tongue!

We share a common civilization with the “Europeans”. There are more prejudices between English and Spaniards than with US. There will always be differences such as: why do Americans have straight teeth?
