2016 is bullshit, but can someone tell me why anti-colonialism is bad? /nt

1. Anti-colonialism is code for blacks killing whites.

Any Western coverage of those times focused on the murder of white colonialists, but ignored the murder of indigenous Africans.

There is also a sub-text that the COMMUNISTS! supported African independence.

3. As far as I am concerned colonialism was the western powers trying to take over the resources and

control the middle-east, Asia, and Africa, and is morally reprehensible

6. of course that's what it was

it was a perpetual holocaust. what you said reminds me of Peggy Hill (from the cartoon King of the Hill) saying "the day after thanksgiving is, in my opinion, the biggest shopping day of the year."

2. because the story of the USA is a story of colonial expansion

if you got a problem with colonialism, you got a problem with US

this is also a subconscious reason behind American support for apartheid era S. Africa, and Israel

4. I don't believe in turning back the clock, but yes, I have a problem with colonial expansion /nt

5. I dont undestand why anyone would pay money to see an anti-Obama ad

I have family that went this weekend to see it as a group (about 6 or so). None of them were EVER going to vote anything but Republican. Why would they go spend money to see a political ad hit piece. When any ad comes on tv, I fast forward through it. I'd never pay money to see an Anti-Romney ad. I dont like him, not going to vote for him, and dont need to wallow in a 75-Minute Hate a la Orwell's 1984.

9. I agree. Of course there argument will be that Michael Moore's movies are the same thing, but I

disagree. Moore's films are not particularly complimentary on Democrats either, though they do show them a far less corrosive as the republicans

7. It's un-American (I guess)

Or maybe it's too "European" or something.

Not sure exactly how D'Souza makes the leap from President Obama's FATHER having "anti-colonialist" beliefs to President Obama having them and, more importantly, acting on them as POTUS (for which there's virtually no evidence to support the claim) but then again I haven't read (and don't plan to read) D'Souza's book or see his movie, so..................

8. sure. in this context it means anti-white.
