Why do people only paint white men as the colonisers when the interest in colonialism grew during queen Victoria’s reign?

It’s not uncommon to see Indian songs where the Indian boys talk about the supposed bullying by white boys and white woman is saving from that bullying. Time to get out of your fantasy land boys.

People were put in chains and kept in dark rooms in Africa. Go read history. Soldiers followed the orders of the queen. They couldn’t afford to lose their jobs.

It is popular nowadays to disparage white men.. And the reason for that connected with Trump Derangement syndrome and anti Semitism. It is a combination of jealousy and envy. White men invented almost everything and accomplished almost everything in history. This is a social trend, which will come and go. White men will eventually push back and begin to restrict opportunities. for those who demean them.

Yea, there is also the fact that colonialism was done not only by europeans.

they were nasty terrible colonizers.

but so were others that migrated onto lands, they weren't nice either. look at those pesky zulu's for one, or native americans.

Because most people have an extremely limited knowledge of history. They just believe and mindlessly repeat whatever narrative is popular.

One: she's a titular ruler, a figurehead

Two: do you mean white women are to blame too?

I remember you. You're the man who asked me about demons. They remember futures, too. Ones you never lived. Things you never did yet. But you could have. They whisper your sins to me.
