he aint wrong

Since this is my birthday, I'll add my own endorsement to this principle.

I've often asked (relative to the slavery/systemic racism issue)
"pick any moment in time - and answer the question = "What would you have done instead?"

this applies doubly to the 'discovery of new world indigenous people' = what would you have done instead?

- and when they start with "don't destroy their culture" all you have to do is remind them of their toppling statues just this past year.

ANY morality-based 'sin' they come up with is exactly equivalent (if not exceeded) by the actions the progstains are rabidly pursuing today.
