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.

Therefore those books might come from white Australians ridden by white guilt. White people are taught since 40 years to hate themselves to the core. Unfortunately it has the reverse effects than sought. Instead of sanely aknowledge their past on a comprehensive basis, it increases racial prejudice.
