Alla persona che siede nelle tenebre. Scritti sull'imperialismo

I'm not sure if I fully understood this book but I think it's just bringing up the 'shadowside' of America which is it's hypocrisy.
I think initial conditions matter; so what is a nation which is found initially on the principles like a black person is 3/5ths as 'equal' as a white person going to do? They're going to continue to hold that belief ofcourse- even if they later don't or reject it explicitly- they'll still hold that belief in some warped way unless it's something understood rather than something forced to be done.
This is what happened with the phillipines war, the racism in media during WW2 against the Japanese and such, and the oh so much love for 'liberating' countries in the Middle East from their tyrranical dictators show more which just so happened to switch selling oil from Dollars to Euros (coincidence lol totes)
I have half the picture here, I won't say that I don't- hell I likely have 1/10th or even less maybe.
But that still doesn't mean I'll be scared of making a statement against what we all know is wrong- much like Mark Twain. People like him are why liberty will endure (if it does haha). Thank you Mark. show less
