Wow, just wow. What I find incomprehensible is that you are *aware* of the issues and yet you side with colonialism? Ignorance I can understand, knowledge will cure it. But your logic of "oh there were also white slaves, so colonialism is ok" just boggles my mind. Shouldn't you be against imperialism/colonialism/slavery/misogyny or any other form of oppression rather than excusing one because something else also exists? When you see signs of oppression, don't you have a responsibility to address it? Again, wow. I really wish I hadn't read your comment. Makes me less hopeful of humanity.
