Detail, I'm white.

And I wouldn't be so sure about less violence you said. When europeans reached America they already found land stealing, murder and rape wrongs things to do. But they found a excuse to make such things valid for non europeans.
I've said nothing to support the notion of arbitrary slavery. Slavery was commonplace all the way until recent history, and is extremely uncommon now; and example of my darwinian idea about civilization generally advancing in a positive way (pro human).

You keep bringing up references to things that happened 300 years ago. More recently, the US accepted the unconditional surrender of the Japanese; our mortal enemy at the time. You think any other country would have given autonomy back to their defeated mortal enemy? BTW- I can't take credit for that either because it was still before my time, so I can neither feel shame for things not under my influence, or pride in them.

I am fortunate to belong to one of the least racist, most liberty-minded nations ever conceived (despite all the slavery, murder, theft, rape, and every other atrocity my forebears endured). Unlike the current global fad, I don't subscribe to the self-defeating statement that there is no truth, and therefore everything is just as valid as any other thing. Because I believe in truth and justice, it allows me to be patriotic.

The only thing I have to apologize for is my own actions, and perhaps the behavior of my daughter.
