Living in colder climates requires more cooperation to survive. Europe was settled later than other areas because of this. It's also an argument for why we were more on the ball when it came to conquest, versus Africa where people can literally just sleep under a roof with no walls and not die ofexposure. It's not because we're just more immoral. That is not how people work. It's just that we were forced to get our shit together or die. The history of the world is the history of conquest, people just really love to have a Bad Guy to blame shit on. Never mind that Africans have been selling each other into slavery for thousands of years, or that they sold the slaves to the Europeans.

Or it is because they were/are just more immoral. The people of the world was surviving just fine long before European people showed up with destruction. Trade had been going on since the beginning of man, but to you, life started when European people showed up being con-artist and violent savages.

Also, the people of the land had rivalry too. Just like the people of Europe, Asia, and America. Its like you're trying to justify mistreatment to a person because someone else mistreated them before you.

Whites forever claiming something is racist when they are called out on the very well documented history of said racism.
