I’m glad we didn’t do this to native Americans.

Yeah right! The early European settlers treated the native Americans just like they had treated the other tribes for hundreds of years.

Kill’em all and let God sort ‘em out!

Glad we are better than that now.

LOL! I can see you’ve been to Atlanta!

A couple Sunday afternoons ago, we showed up at the new City Winery to see a band on the deck. As we arrived, there was a Jazz Brunch still letting out from the big room downstairs. There were a lot of black folks who really like getting seriously dressed up on Sunday!

>>If you want a real shocker, look at the Belgians in Congo.

Rummel did a big revision of his 20th Century Democide page about ten years ago now to add them and Mao’s famine. It affected the top of the leaderboard.

Per Rummel, (paraphrasing) the Belgians made the Germans looks like pikers.

Well, you’re likely correct, but for some reason the Germans are world famous for being dicks. I’m German heritage BTW, but these people never stop, and today’s behavior by MERKEL is a perfect example. Why do they think they’re in charge? I spent time over there traveling, and they’re still pissed off we kicked their asses in two wars. They hate Americans.

.. feeding on ideas of evolutionary superiority ...

Now there's a stretch of imagination (about par for the weirdos at CMI)...without anything to back it up. Colonialism was what is was, and many aspects were not pretty all around.

And the allegation sort of falls flat considering this German WW I general in Africa:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_von_Lettow-Vorbeck

The Schutztruppe recruited new personnel and expanded to its eventual size of some 14,000 soldiers, most of them Askaris, and all well-trained and well-disciplined. Lettow-Vorbeck's fluency in the Swahili language language earned the respect and admiration of his African soldiers; he appointed black officers and "said — and believed — [that] 'we are all Africans here'."[8] In one historian's estimation, "It is probable that no white commander of the era had so keen an appreciation of the African's worth not only as a fighting man but as a man."[9]

stillfree? speaking of Germans: " I spent time over there traveling, and they’re still pissed off we kicked their asses in two wars.
They hate Americans."

Sure, and we don't like that the Brits kicked our *sses and burned down Washington, DC in the War of 1812, but somehow we did manage to finally get over it.

And Germans certainly did not hate Americans a few years back when entire Soviet armies in Eastern Europe threatened the Fulda Gap.

200,000 Germans also seemed especially delighted to welcome candidate Barak Obama to Berlin in 2008 (see below).
So you'd expect by now no two peoples could be more lovey-dovey than Germans & Americans, right?

Welcoming Obama is not liking America. They’re into his apologist tour.

Fair enough, but NOT before the damage was done.

The Darwinists moved racism into the realm of “settled science”,

and it killed MILLIONS of people.

Much the same can be said in different periods of history of Hindus, Christians, and for their entire history Muslims. With Islam, it’s an essential tenet of their religion. They are all belief systems. Fortunately science is fact based and eventually self correcting.

stillfree?: "Welcoming Obama is not liking America.

So, you say Germans just love self-loathing Americans?
You think Americans who hate America are A-OK with Germans?
And what if over half of Americans vote for self-loathing Americans (aka "Democrats"), wouldn't that make us really nice people in the eyes of your average Germans?

But here's what I don't quite "get" -- aren't Germans themselves self-loathing?
I mean, what else could explain their immigration policy to allow in, how many, millions of potentially radical Islamic terrorists?
What non-self-loathing people would do such a thing?

So it sounds to me like it's not just non-self-loathing Americans Germans hate, they hate themselves as much as anybody else.

Do you disagree?
