Search Results: racism goes both ways

Some people claims Europe owns Africa money and apologize after the colonization, while the US owns the Middle-east the same after invading it in the past. Some also says Germany owns Jews a lot. #WhiteGuilt and #EuropeGuilt #Guilt

My Opinion:
I don't think people nowadays owns other people living today something because of people in the past. People today aren't guilty over what people in the past did. Not all of these historical people lives today or still works as leaders. The colonizers are dead, the Bushes aren't presidents anymore etc. It's kind of people if they wants to do charity, help 3rd world countries and refugees, but they shouldn't feel guilty over other people's actions.

If European-Americans should feel guilty over others owning black slaves, The UKs and French over others having colonies, today's Americans for others invading countries and Germans for others committing Holocaust, Why shouldn't African tribes feel guilty over enslaving people or wage war too? Why shouldn't African-American feel guilt over what they did to Europeans (Yes, racism goes both way) or the Middle-eastern enslaving Europeans? It's double moral. No one should feel guilty over other's actions. If people are supposed to feel guilt, then it should go both ways. By the way, I'm not guilty over the vikings enslaving the Brits and I don't feel sorry for today's Brits.

Not feeling guilt isn't the same as forgetting history. You can still learn about history and think something is bad without feeling guilty over it. I think Europe gets too much negativity nowadays!
