I was responding to the point that we airbrush our failures by showing we don't. All of the above were English failures still taught in school because the consequences were significant.

The defeat of the English armada was not historically signifiant. If you were doing a degree in Elizabethan history then yes I would include it but if you are teaching kids general English history I don't think it is sufficient important when there is so much else to cover.

No you weren't

It is also notable what happened to the British sailors during and after the engagement. Left to rot on ships riven with disease. Eventually sent home, mostly sick, with no pay. That is a major part of the real history. Airbrushed out as an inconvenient truth.

You seem to be incapable of understanding.

Your loopy recent obsession with slavery is really odd.

I bet pretty much everybody has ancestors who were slaves at one time or another. So what?

Let's put it in perspective. Only 10% of the world population is White. White people have only existed for a fraction of human evolution. The country you have spent your life in is predominantly White and has been almost entirely White for all but the last 70 years. White people of various nationalities have enslaved all types of others. Skin colour has nothing to do with that. It was, and still is, about opportunity and personal gain. Exploitation of others is a constant in human history in one form or another, and is not confined to any race.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the constant guilt bating and delusions of White privilege coming from the usual suspects. For argument’s sake, if White privilege is a fact, how did it come into being?
Perhaps history might give you an answer. Europeans, despite being in relatively small numbers, managed to dominate the planet in recent history and exploited those that had not harnessed technology and resources to their advantage.

In that sense, we earned our 'privilege'.

It is typical of White Leftist to claim victimhood, as it is for members of some other 'races' who spend their time whining about their lot rater than trying to better themselves.

Bleating about 'privilege' and wallowing in self pity about increasingly distant historical events and figures will achieve precisely nothing in the way of self improvement.

What is most nauseating is when White Leftist types claim to be 'Woke' and spend far too much of their time worrying about the plight of the 90% of the World population who aren't White.

Can you not see how bonkers that is in the bigger picture?

Only the usual ones

And of course there is nothing wrong with 'earning' the right to run the world. I suggest you start learning Mandarin then.

Wallowing in self-pity. That is you, every day of the year. And you are so self-pitying you can't admit any wrong-doing for fear of losing the small amount of self-esteem you may possess. Presumably you don't have sufficient introspection to learn, I bet you would be fabulous to work with.

I haven't noticed races whining and failing to better themselves, in the UK which groups are most successful in schools pray tell.

But you didn't say race did you? You said group.
Which is different.

Ah, i mentioned race in the same sentence but it must have been hard to fathom my meaning. Blimey, I think you may be more pedantic than I.

Anyway, the pun wouldn't have worked with group.

It's OK, your meaning was clear!
The Boat Race must be a fix anyway or how do the same teams get to the final every year?
