Just more "white people are evil" BS. That power "European mind set" like the Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Comanches, etc.?

Or for that matter the Chinese empire, the Muslim world, or the African kingdoms that grew rich by selling slaves...more to the Muslims than even the Translatlantic trade? The truth is Western civilization, or "Europe" as the stupid firebrand professor called it, invented freedom, along with citizenship, democracy, due process, constitutionalism, limits on rulers' power, not worshiping their leaders as gods, tolerance, etc.. The Christian West was the only civilization in history to ban slavery on its own without external pressure in a way that took, and did it not once but twice: first in the high middle ages and then black slavery in the 1800s. Then the USA and Britain, with their "European mind sets", flexed their muscles to end slavery around the world, though it persisted in the Muslim world into the 20th Century.

The peaceful tribe from the Columbus quote she cherry-picked and ripped from context was aberrational. Slavery and warfare (and sometimes mass human sacrifice) were practiced by Amerindians up and down the hemisphere long before Columbus showed up. English colonists were met with unprovoked arrow storms on the beach (they leave that out of those cheesy Jamestown/Pocahontas movies). Columbus' words sound harsh to our sensibilities, with our anti-slavery "European mind set", but slavery was common accepted practice around the planet back then and he was being practical. The Aztecs were so brutal that subjugated tribes flocked to join Cortez' small band of conquistadors in desperation because they offered a flicker of hope of relief. Hollywood likes to pretend students aren't typically exposed to the leftist drivel they have characters like Monica spew, that the professor is being subversive and rocking "the man's" boat. Truth is that's ALL kids are force fed in school. Everyone knows about the Trail of Tears. But most don't know that the Cherokee forced their own slaves to travel with them. I won't even get into the layered bigotry of using a white male "frat boy" type to tie into this sinister "European mind set" (what's the mind set of the mostly black or Hispanic cat callers in NYC? And why in real life do nonwhites rape and abuse women at much higher rates than whites?)


Monica's rhetoric reflects the real life sentiments of some that mix crude anti-white racial bigotry with more nuanced but still ignorant and wrong-headed anti-Western views. It's part of the larger pattern of a show that casts white male ranchers as inherently evil somehow, routinely committing murder and other crimes for reasons left poorly explained. Unfortunately this garbage encourages more real life bigotry at a time when responsible media actors should be tamping it down. But disliking people is subjective. What's worse is the show lying, even telling the opposite of the truth to push its agenda, and spreading ignorance.
