Now i've met people from both countries and they look pretty dark. But when I read some modern pc writings on history they blame alot of this this kind of racist dynamic white and brown people. I wonna know how this works because alot of the atrocities they blame on western Europe was a result of the porteguese and Spanish. How does this dynamic work without automatically categorizing them as white "dominant" race.
I'm Portuguese and I consider myself a pale skin black man... you know, because of my dick.
What atrocities would those be? Slavery? sure. Killing people to get their gold? yeah. All stuff never done by any other people on Earth.
Every people given the opportunity did it of course. But from revisionist historians you rarely hear about Indian ocean slave trade.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
