      Europe still practices neocolonialism and imperialism. Hell, Australia and other European settler-colonies still exist.

          Read up on local decolonial movements, and listen to what they have to say and are advocating for. Read up on settler-colonialism, Fanon is an excellent writer.

      A bunch of African countries just threw off French colonial control like, three years ago, and are still being vilified for it. This shit is extremely current and you’re acting like a smug prick

      What a brain dead and privileged take. Exactly how long are people allowed to be upset for? Would you say that shit to a holocaust survivor.

        Ironic I’m not white, I’m Australian Aboriginal, every year on the 25th of January people getting shitty about the invasion of Australia.

        I think get over it my grandmother was stolen generation but I’m not beating my chest about it

        Lastly saying “White people smh” is still racist.

        Imagine someone said black people smh because of their opinions

      Europe is profitting off child slavery and other horrible shit worldwide. This isn’t a thing of the past only, and being dismissive like this is beyond disrespectful to the many victims of capitalism.
