User ID: 76678453 United States 06/09/2020 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good point. Britain getting a lot of stick over colonialism, but Britain has been colonised multiple times. From Quora.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67110464 Was Britain colonized? Yes, it was colonised by successive waves of people from the Beaker people around 2000BC, Celts from around 600BC, Romans from 43AD, After 410AD Irish and Saxon invasions and colonisation occurred, various Viking colonisations and then in 1066AD the Norman conquest. The difference is, Brits don’t go around playing the victim card, “woe is me”, etc. The Norman Conquest was actually another Viking conquest and not Frankish.

User ID: 76418739 United States 06/09/2020 10:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My heritage is primarily German. In the mid- 1700's a German Princess "Catherine" married a Russian Czar. Under the Queen's reign, many Christian German's who were engaged in the skilled trades or farming, accepted the Queen's invitation to emigrate to Russia, where they were given land, religious freedom, and the promise that they would never have to fight in Russia's military. Things went along quite well until the per-Bolshevik uprising started about 1900. Most of my family left Russia around 1905-1907, and legally immigrated to the United States. But my family still has a letter written by my Grandmother's aunt, who had stayed in Russia. The letter describes an event occurring in about 1908 when parents living in a German village heard rumors of a convoy of trucks headed their way. The parents gathered their children together, including my Grandmother's Aunt, gave them blankets and food and instructed the children to run to nearby forested land and stay there until the parents came and got them. Over the course of the next three days, the children observed their parents being forced at gunpoint by the Bolsheviks to dig a long and deep trench. When the trench was completed, the children watched in horror as their parents were lined up and shot dead into the trench. Every adult in the village was killed. The soldiers searched for the children but never found them. That is what what my "White Privileged" family endured. Who do I see about MY reparations?

We are only 3-4 generations removed from it in the states. Viking invasion was probably more like 1400-1600 r/woosh |

My great grandpa was one of them. This shit went on into the 60s on private rural lands in the country. People were still held against their will. I’m sure it still goes on today on private country properties and elsewhere. It never ended so we never got over it. Plenty of stories like this one below. My great grandfather went through this too. He passed at nearly 100 just 15 years ago. |

Historical abuses are not passed onto to whole future DNA groups. The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

You should start a class action immediately. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73233079 As a person of Norwegian descent HOW DARE YOU portray all Norwegians as raping and pillaging savages you intolerant BIGOT!!!! Most of us were just peaceful farmers trying to turn our lives around. We didn't do nothing! My ancestors have been demonized for far too long and been made a mockery of by using us as mascots for your sports teams. NO MORE!!!! I demand my people be erased from history books and the collective memory of the world! Let muh people go! |

Oh and I'm sure Czechs also still hold some of the stuff they looted in Poland back in 1036. The list is much longer, now Germany, Sweden, Czech Rep., Russia give us back what you stole, so I don't have to go to work for the rest of my life ;D |
