| I am not gona even respond to ppl like Bulldogg that are here to stoke tension, their pure hatred and contempt for others is evident in his comment in calling Africa "THE DARK CONTINENT."
Now let me get back to the relevant topic here, I am not asking for sympathy for nations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Carribean who were oppressed, slaughthered, their natural resources stolen and their nations made subservient. I know the West is not bad don't get me wrong, I know their is many God fearing, respectable, and good people who sincerely care about others and by all mean I am not trying to discredit the West, I was discussing the mistakes they have made in the past and that they continue to make today in the form of liberating a country because they can no longer in today world outright colonize a country so they are occuppying countries in the guise of other excuses.
You cannot say in the time frame of 60 years things will heal because its not that easy when those former colonizers support dictators in many of those nations so that a unfriendly regime doesn't take over, and those dictators in turn think they have free reign and turn around and oppress their citizens.
60 years doesn't begin to address the many problems the colonizers left behind like partitioning countries and enslaving millions in the process. Just like the Jewish people haven't forgotten the many horrible problems Hitler and his henchmen committed against them.
You say that the people that suffered under imperialism like Africans and Asians should forget and move on like its that easy, but when Jewish people who suffered under the Nazis still seek compensation and justice its ok. So let me ask you why haven't the West compensated these nations who suffered under imperialism. You can argue that the West provides loans and finances, but those aren't compensations they are loans with interest.
They need to compensate these nations financially, publically apologize and give these nations their territorries they carved away from back. Than you have the right to say they should move on, bit don't say that when you haven't done none of that. |
