Is white/European guilt and white/European crime exceptionalism justified?

The generel sentiment in media, politics and academia is yes.

What does Veeky Forums say?

No, I shouldn't feel guilty for a crime I had no hand in. Just as every German living today shouldn't have guilt for the holocaust, no European should feel guilt for what their ancestors might've done.

No it isn't

I don't think you'll find a single person who is actually feeling the effects of racism ect. who wants white people to be guilty

whites deserve white genocide

Absolutely.

your mom deserves genocide

You will never defeat the Slavs

Boy, Commander Riker really let himself go

Why are white people so violent and dangerous bros?

>born slav(e)

You already lost, cunt

Reminder: Africans pretty much sold out their own people to slavery in the first place.

We should have eradicated the aboriginals completely just so I don't have to listen to this shit

>white/European guilt
No such thing. That's an American phenomenon.

Kind of. It's not that what europeans did was particularly bad compared to the horrible shit that has happened in history, it was just much better recorded and is too recent for animosity on both sides to completely die down.

This.
Gotta love the hypocrisy blacks display. They always talk about "helping their brothas out" against "evil white people" yet they form gangs and shoot each other.

t. not from Europe

No. I just don't give a fuck, so what we enslaved half a million niggers. The arabs enslaved more like 15 million so we ain't the worst.

No. Nothing that they did was unique or exceptional to themselves, they just did it better or more efficiently than other groups of people.

And yet (this is the kicker) the Europeans were among the first to develop a general moral fiber and do things like abolish slavery, which had been a time honored human tradition for all of history prior.

If you're going to consider Europeans as exceptionally cruel, then, you have to consider them exceptionally moral and benevolent as well.

No, it's litteral vapid bullshit peddled a malicious elite to an audience which has removed all concepts of sacred from life and is desperate to find meaning.

Actually I am. As a German I am thoroughly saturated on that guilt thing. I admit I may have become insensitive to things like that. But being guilty because of my skin?

funny because I'm German too and at least my entire history education has consisted of telling us how bad Europeans and especially Christians and Germans are.

First, of course, when the topic was middle ages, we talked about how great Al-Andalus was and how evil and backwards the christians were.

I havent read too much into this and I cant say much but I recognize that there is a purpose behind this and its that someone wants to make us "ready" for accepting Muslim rule.

then of course colonialism = most evil thing ever but only when whites do it

and then the religious like cult of the second world war and the holocaust.

I dont say its explicit said we should feel guilty but I always had an implicit feeling that we are being conditioned to accept our own destruction pretty much and creating historical guilt is the best way to do so.

Germans are the source of most problems

>implying

also Im not talking just about German guilt, Im talking about European guilt in general

Veeky Forums is a heavily moderated left-wing board.
Veeky Forums will either say yes or will try to slide the discussion.

Maybe the curriculum changed. It's more than likely that I'm older than you. It seems like nazis were a topic permanently. There was a collective guilt vibe with it but more about being German than about being white.
Nazis haunted you in Geschichte, Deutsch, Kunst, Religion and whatever that social studies thing was called.

Come to Germany mate. Then you are a source of my problems, too.

Yes user feeling sorry over something my grandpa did to someone who doesnt exist anymore is really logical.

Blacks are violent feral savages incapable of functioning like white people or pretty much any human that isnt whtie as even fucking native americans act more civilized than black people. The reason their communities are hellholes is because of them alone.

>Maybe the curriculum changed. It's more than likely that I'm older than you.
Will make Abitur this spring

Im currently feeling it.

>It seems like nazis were a topic permanently
we made National Socialism about three times in my time in school

>Nazis haunted you in Geschichte, Deutsch, Kunst, Religion and whatever that social studies thing was called.
can confirm. We read at least 2 books in German that dealt with the Third Reich and its time. In History we came to the time of National Socialism and its aestethics. My new German teacher mentions Hitler and the Nazis in every second sentence.
also my religion teacher is a marxist so you can imagine he constantly bashes germans.

What made me think about this was reading some article in my advanced history class.

the author was basicly saying she wants to set the holocaust into context with other historical atrocities. And OF COURSE all the other historical atrocities were all atrocities commited by white people/europeans.
muh slavery
muh indian holocaust
muh crusades
muh inquisition

even muh reconquista

>we made National Socialism about three times in my time in school
We've gone through National Socialism about three times in my time in school

>In History we came to the time of national socialism
in art I meant

sorry Im tired desu

easily 3 times, starting in 5th grade back then. I don't remember having dealt with the other atrocities you mentioned. At least not in school. What I took from the bits I knew was other countries have their dark spots as well and we kinda overdid it: Think for yourself, Don't fall for cheap propaganda. Flag waving is bad.
Then again we had still veterans abundant. If someone wanted to know something about the nazis he'd just ask his grandparents.

>OF COURSE all the other historical atrocities were all atrocities commited by white people/europeans.
I always understood this as a "human option" not so much a German or white thing. And I refuse to change that view now.

>I always understood this as a "human option"
care to elaborate?

I wonder how their combined numbers over the decades stack up against just black on black murders, and just in the Chicago city limits, and limited to just last year.

Not Germans or Whites are inherently evil, mankind is capable of unspeakable things under the right conditions. Case in point the Holocaust. Normal, civilised men and women could just kill on an industrial scale and live their lives.
