Judging historical people on today's social standards. . .

[AussieMick]

The sad part of this politically correct revisionism is that history is distorted for political reasons. White Anglo-Saxon atrocities are publicised and often exaggerated.

There's no doubt horrible acts occurred in the past. But History cannot be subjected to political nit-picking and lies in order to show that 'we are good' and 'you are bad'.

In Australia we have whats known as the 'Black Arm Band' industry. People write books and make films which are supposedly based on research. The aim is to 'prove' that Aboriginals were living happily and prosperously before Europeans ( = English capitalists) "invaded" and spread diseases and massacred 'thousands'. The strange thing is that many of these books and research comes from people who claim to have Aboriginal heritage ... but have as much Aboriginal appearance as I have.
