If Europeans have the nerve revere their colonial forebears, erect monuments in their honour, and even call them saints despite their history of oppression, then you must honour your own ancestors as well. They were not demons—they were warriors, builders, and visionaries who resisted, survived, and paved the way for your existence. Stand proud in their legacy.

Most of the Crusades done by the Catholic Church were actually against their fellow Europeans, and were the quelling of peasant uprisings, usually stemming from Peasants learning how to read, therefore becoming a a financial threat to The Vatican by being able to teach people true Christianity, and cutting off their income from corrupt tithes and taxes in the process.

Despite the barbarity perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and despite the massacre of Alawites in Syria, Europe – France in particular – has not changed its policy on Islamist terrorism. It remains in favor of the creation of a Palestinian state, even if the conditions are not appropriate. 

The European Union’s latest joint statement in Brussels regarding the new Syrian regime, and its approval of the Arab League’s peace plan for Gaza, confirms the ambiguity of European policy. It proves that its double standard persists regarding the solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. 

Just weeks after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Europeans rushed to meet with the new master of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa. How can we believe that this notorious jihadist would so quickly abandon Islamist terror and transform himself into a moderate head of state?

Worse still, Europeans are incapable of saving minorities in the Middle East and are abandoning Christians. They systematically condone all the horrific crimes committed by Arab dictators, such as Saddam Hussein or the Assad family, who used chemical weapons with impunity against minorities in their countries. 

On the other hand, Europeans still persist in condemning Israel for daring to defend itself against its enemies and are even trying to bring its leaders to justice before an international tribunal.

Since the famous Venice Declaration adopted on June 13, 1980, the Europe of the Nine, like the Europe of the 26 today, has been hearing the same old refrain and the same moral lessons. And yet, some countries in Europe manage overseas territories thousands of kilometers from their respective capitals.

The double standard still works: When Palestinians violate international law and pay salaries to terrorists and their families, it is completely legitimate in their eyes. But when the Jewish state reacts after an attack or even builds apartments in its own capital and in a territory that remains “disputed,” it is always unanimously condemned. The Europeans get angry, threatening Israel with the recall of ambassadors and retaliation.

The term 'Sub-Saharan' Africa is a colonial language that was used to belittle African nations south of the Sahara and to separate the other countries from North Africa– Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Sudan due to them being Arab states.

Colored, Negro, Black, Nigger

Every one of these terms come from the mindset of Europeans not Africans. Indigenous African societies do not use the term black as a racial identity outside of influences brought by Western cultures.

Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "Black race" as socially constructed.

Black is a term developed in the Colonial Assembly of Maryland, after a rebellion called Bacon's Rebellion, fought from 1676 to 1677.

The alliance between European indentured servants and Africans (a mix of indentured, enslaved, and Free Negroes) disturbed the colonial upper class. They responded by hardening the racial caste of slavery in an attempt to divide the two races from subsequent united uprisings with the passage of the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705.

White took on the meaning "British, Christian and having rights. Black meaning not having rights.

These divided the two populations, by giving poor Europeans with no power, unprecedented power over all non-Europeans.

The laws were devised to establish a greater level of control over the rising African slave population of Virginia. It also socially segregated white colonists from black enslaved persons, making them disparate groups and hindering their ability to unite. Unity of the commoners was a perceived fear of the Virginia aristocracy, who wished to prevent repeated events such as Bacon's Rebellion, occurring 29 years prior.

By refusing to call you an African, it belittles you, no such thing as black names, black land or black languages. It is like calling a woman big lips or flat butt and refusing to call the woman by her actual name. "Hey colored girl, or black boy".

In social psychology, a stereotype is a generalized belief about a particular category of people.

African populations have the highest levels of genetic variation among all humans. 

Why You Probably Shouldn't Say 'Eskimo'

People in many parts of the Arctic consider Eskimo a derogatory term because it was widely used by racist, non-native colonizers. Many people also thought it meant eater of raw meat, which connoted barbarism and violence. Although the word's exact etymology is unclear, mid-century anthropologists suggested that the word came from the Latin word excommunicati, meaning the excommunicated ones, because the native people of the Canadian Arctic were not Christian.

According to the Constitution of India, we are “the people of India that is Bharat”

In English language discourse, the word ‘India’ is used and in Hindi expressions, the word ‘Bharat’ is used. The Anglicised call it ‘India’, and the indigenous call it ‘Bharat’. Our ruling class calls it ‘India’, the others, the janata, call it ‘Bharat’. It has become a trend and fashion to prefer the word ‘India’ over ‘Bharat’. We converse with the country in Hindi and other vernaculars while we govern it in English.

Japanese people usually refer to their country as Nihon or Nippon 

The name "Japan" in English is derived from the Portuguese word "Japão," which was used during the 16th century when Portuguese traders and explorers first arrived in Japan. The Portuguese term "Japão" likely evolved from the Malay word "Japang" or "Japang Pulau," which referred to the Japanese archipelago.

The Japanese people themselves refer to their country as "Nihon" (日本) or "Nippon" (日本), and these terms have been used in the Japanese language for centuries.

As European seen themselves as the elites of all races and god's chosen people. They took on the mindset of what I say makes the most sense.

Renaming essentially all populations they came in contact with, using their language as opposed to learning the language of the natives.

And whatever religion or spirituality people had Europeans demonized it and forced converted people to Christianity.

(Al Mayadeen) European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell acknowledged criticism of the European Union's "double standards" regarding its response to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

He explained that this criticism, particularly from the Global South, highlights the EU's inconsistent stance on these wars.

In a blog post reflecting on his five-year tenure, Borrell noted that the EU has struggled to present a unified response to the Gaza crisis, particularly after October 2023, when "Israel" launched its offensive.

Borrell admitted that the EU's "deep divisions" have hindered its ability to influence events in Gaza, despite the rising number of civilian casualties, which has exceeded 44,000.

He stated, "This impotence and passivity, in contrast to the vigor of our commitment in support of Ukraine, have often been perceived outside the Union as the sign of a ‘double standard'." Borell added, "In the eyes of Europeans, the life of a Palestinian would not be worth as much as that of a Ukrainian."
