Every race, every party, every group, every collection of people has been stereotyped, and mocked, and owned slaves, and been slaves. Human history is a long litany of degradation and murder. Sorry, it is.
Know what culture was the first to reject the idea of cultural superiority and instead adopt the idea that all people are given their rights by God, not by man? Western culture, Great Britain and France leading the way. Some native Americans had similar views as of the 15th century, but only a small minority and native Americans owned slaves well before Europeans arrived.
Locke proposed the value of the person over the government, the anti-slave movement was one developed by in Western Europe and America in the middle of the 18th century, Great Britain outlawed slavery in 1820, Canada in1834, and the United States in 1867.
Know which cultures practiced legalized slavery until the latter part of the 19th century? Africa and South America. Look it up.
So which culture is being attacked non-stop as vile, corrupt, built on slavery, irredeemable? Yep, the one that first developed the idea that people derived their rights from God, that every life had value, and that no government was greater than the individual. The attack on Western culture is a suicide mission.
Sorry for the rant, but it relates to the idea of bullying and targeting of people or cultures. Generally, the people attacking another are the lesser of the two and that is 100% spot on for today's inexplicable, unending attack by members of Western culture on Western culture.
