If you really want to get technical, we can trace the Atlantic Slave Trade back to the Africans themselves. The Portuguese didn't take these people by themselves. The slaves were offered to the Europeans by the African Kings. At this time, there were more African Kingdoms than European Kingdoms, and the trade had been taking place for some time. Muslim countries had been purchasing slaves from African Kings and Chiefs since before the middle ages. But soon after, the Europeans took off and did their own thing.
Doesn't make it any better by any means. But humans everywhere and at all times have been scum.

Not a spore spot Loon, but I certainly don't feel guilty about being white. I'm sorry if I don't hold a collective guilt for wrongs occuring not in my life time.
Did I touch on a sore spot, Durka???? I was told the greatest EVIL of this world were the NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzis!! Were they Caucasians or Blacks??????? ......... Let me see... I'm a descendant of them....

WOW! I'm White and pretty!

Alright, now on a serious note! God assigned a continent for each race, didn't he? America had the Red Race, Africa The Blacks, Asia the Yellows and Europe the Whites. I don't know what color the Aborigines of Australia are/were
The Red Race is the oldest and pretty much extinct.
The White one is next on the way out..
The Yellow one probably after the Whites
The Blacks are the youngest race.
That's as far as I remember reading some decades ago.
Here is a photo of some original Australians, they seem to be mottled!

Hey, the more the better.... if Canada get's so diverse in the future, then every country would think twice about attacking us, because we'd have a good chunk of their people here they would end up killing..... like a multi-racial flack jacket for the country :P

diversity and culture sharing is awesome , but lets not screw the system to the point where 5th and 6th ( or more)generation Canadians get shafted due to minority/diversity hiring programs.I'm fortunate I have a great career , I know many though that get placed second because they are white male , and the hiring phase is looking for something other.Hell even my best friend whom is african canadian admits it's a twisted system .It is what it is .

White self-hate? Give me a break. I would say that plain ordinary greed and gluttony has fueled the decline of the west rather than the fiction of white self-hate. DL is right we have failed to replicate ourselves in sufficient numbers because of our processed food and pharma drug addiction probubly, and our western bizz system has made having kids to expensive, do you know what one of those things cost, the maintennance alone is staggering.
Give me a break! White self-hate, as you have displayed, has fuelled the decline of the western world. I don't believe for one second the Third World hasn't also made a mess of our planet too. China for one is one of the worst polluters the world has seen. India isn't far behind.
Funny thing, Europe (the homeland of the "whites") is where change is happening, and places like China, India and practically anywhere in the third world don't take notice to what is happening to our planet.
No, I don't see the change happening in places like Toronto or Montreal as good (first hand).

Decline of the west? I always hear that..never know exactly what your talking about.
We fail to replicate ourselves because we generally know the world has too many people. Why do we need more people? Does no one see a problem with a society built upon a pyramid scheme of expansion?

I feel the same way Durka does- any wrong doing by my forefathers is not my problem- I don't owe anybody anything, I'm not going to kiss anybodys ass for being white. If you treat me poorly, expect the same. Respect is a two way street.
