    It has been a response for entitled rich white people for centuries. People already here? I claim this land for England because I feel you are a savage, never mind your advance farming, irrigation, astronomy, etc.

      Worse than that - we’re going to steal your advanced farming, irrigation and astronomy, claim it as our own, then enslave you to work on these same farms with all the human rights afforded to an ox.

      Historically speaking, white people - and I say this as one of them myself - have gone through and really extra fucked up the entire lives of basically anyone we ever met including all other white people. On behalf of white people across all of time and space - I’m really sorry, bro, that shit was super fucked up. Some of us are working to try and make that better. Unfortunately some others of us are still working to make that worse.

      Where I’m from in rural Indiana it’s not even a race thing. It’s a class thing. There were no minorities where I’m from so the cops fucked with the trailer trash.
