[From "Statues of Belgium’s King Leopold II and London’s Robert Milligan are Removed Because They Raycis"]
You are witnessing the destruction of the history of your people in real time.

A statue of King Leopold II of Belgium was taken down in Antwerp today after it was vandalised by protesters because of his brutal colonial rule in the Congo.
Leopold owned the Belgian Congo as his personal property from 1885 to 1908 and subjected its people to forced labour while he exploited the country’s rubber reserves – leading to millions of deaths in what some regard as a genocide.

White people cannot have their heroes, because white people are evil and cannot feel pride for anything ever.
You must feel shame, because you were mean to blacks that one time.
You do not have a history, other than being mean to blacks, so you don’t need to remember where you come from and what your people went through.
The only thing that you need to remember is that you were mean to blacks, and that you are evil.

Workmen have torn down the monument to 18th Century slave trader Robert Milligan in the West India Docks he helped to construct in London’s Isle of Dogs – after a day of Black Lives Matter protests have taken place across Britain.
This afternoon, amid growing pressure to act, the Museum of London removed the giant bronze figure of the Scottish merchant who owned 526 slaves at his Jamaican sugar plantation.

So you’re saying that the only accomplishment European history can celebrate is monstrously exploiting other, supposedly inferior, people to do their work for them.
And you’re calling US anti-White?
Lemmie show you something, people (photo isn’t gory for the most part but still horrific a bit graphic…)…

(Link with an old B&W photo from 1904 of an African man named Nsala sadly looking upon the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter…a child who was murdered and possibly eaten by Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company militia…for HIS “crime” of not meeting the rubber quota. And they did the same to his wife, too!)
…This was under King Leopold II’s watch. Leopold II was fine with it. Leopold is receiving his punishment in Inferno!
This is what the OP supports. May the purgatorial torment of the Gory Gig Underground destroy the evil in the OP, Leopold II and others like them.
May Nsala and his family (and others in their situation) find peace in their afterlife.
Is someone demonstrating why giving territories to a man as his property to use is a bad idea since basic decency went out of the window because of murderous cupidity one of the main heroes of the white race, especially given other major colonial powers, themselves not foreign to extreme brutality towards natives, protested against the Congo Free State?
Is a major slaveowner the heroe of the white race?
You seems to have a way more negatice vision of the “White civilization” is slaveowners and slavedrivers are the epitome of Eurooean culture. Aren’t scholars, artists, statesmen and war heroes more appropriate than a tyrant and a slaveowner?
I have this crazy idea. How about we make heroes out of white men who weren't complete monsters like literally forcing to extract resources by torture and killing their families. I'm sure we can find some moral and decent white people.
Teaching nuanced history is not going to kill you. I can still love my country while fully admitting that it had and still does participate in shitty behavior. If I didn't see how people in the past thought and acted, then I wouldn't recognize it in the future and fight to stop it.

Why on earth do you want these people as heroes, and why on earth do you feel like we should feel proud of these deeds you’ve highlighted here? I am a white person and these are not my heroes, never will be.
Forcing black people to work is a crime against humanity.
Actually, yes it is. All forced labor, from US slavery to the Siberian work camps, is a crime against humanity.

Two of Hull's heroes: Amy Johnson...:

...and William Wilberforce:

I cycled through Hull City Centre today, and people taking down these statues were conspicuous by their absence .
To reinforce what @Yutolia says, the latter would agree with you.
But that's all you have the right to say: forcing black people to work - as in Slavery - is a crime against humanity. As for the rest of your BS, enjoy your racism while you still can.
For I suspect that you won't be able to before long.
A 21st Century Civil Rights Movement will make sure of that. William Wilberforce would agree.

Andrew Anglin: so stupid, he can’t remember the faintest hint of history unless he is constantly surrounded by reminders in statuary.
White people cannot have their heroes, because white people are evil and cannot feel pride for anything ever.
(deep breath) Leopold II was a MONSTER , up there with the likes of Hitler and Pol Pot. His Congo “Free” State was one of the most dystopian hellregimes in human history, and a testament to the horrors of colonialism! What is WRONG with you?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
