"sabotaged" isn't a good word for it.

yes it is, cuz ifiit were not for racist and violent men, everything out have been fine. The structure was in palce, but men will be men.

it was their intent all along to be racist and brutal to foreigners. so how did anything get sabotaged when the goal was clear from the start?

I have to agree with Purity (didnt see that coming did ya?). I think the intention to conquer was always there. If the English didnt do it the Spanish would have. Once that got the ball rolling it just never stopped. Cultures of the past always had a hard time assimilatating its immigrants or foreigners into society.

Ostagoth - Moor
Visigoth - Moor
Jews - arabs
African - European
mayan/Incan - Spanish
Romani - European
American - Asian
American - African
Jews - European
Greek - Turk

are just some who have had or are having the same cultral clashing.

My suggestion: keep promoting interracial frienships/breeding until generations from now the racist are the minority and thier opinions mean ****.

in regards to American history, the Spanish were actually the ones to kick off the real brutal ****. this was done over a hundred years before English feet ever stepped on our soil.

yeah it's ****ed up when you look at the conditions which the English brought African slaves over (not to mention the next 300 years of treatment) but that's NOTHING to what the Spanish did to the Native Americans. there are stories of incidents where, if Spanish settlers were bored, they'd just go decapitate a few Indian children. to eradicate 95% of a race within less than 100 years is insanity.

If we were brog would the collective be like a giant global ot.
