White people should move back to Europe?

Question

Honest question people... keep it civilized.

I've been told countless times in my life that white people should move back to Europe and white people should feel guilty about coming to North America. h**l, when I was a kid I actually did feel guilty my ancestors came here.

Our ancestors were escaping religious persecution, poverty, famine... But regardless of their motives we have no say over what they did. Should we punish children, grandchildren and so forth of murderers?

Plus, white people were here first... but countless people from all over the world have also come over willingly since.

QUESTION.... shouldn't everyone but Native Americans feel guilty about being here? Or should none of us feel guilty? What are your views on the subject?

Answer 1

It's like telling a black person they should move back to Africa.  Both are ridiculous.

Answer 2

What the h**l?

I don't feel guilty about something that someone barely related to me did 500 years ago. Especially since I had no control over it. You can't control the shittiness of the past. You can control the present and future.

Answer 3

Actually, my ancestors were escaping the sheriff, and I would go back but I don't think the British would have me.

Answer 4

No one should feel guilty about being anywhere. If you did not personally gun down an entire native American tribe and build a condo there, then why feel guilty? No one should go anywhere unless the real estate property is booming.

Answer 5

White people should move back to Europe?

And what liberal cockroach told you this?  if whites have to leave then all non whites have to go as well because they don't belong her either except for Indians.  Blaming people for their ancestors mistakes is not only racist it's an intellectually flawed idea,I'm sure the PC fascist would never tell black people to go back to Africa. If humans start playing this game of who should be here and  should not the whole world would be at war right now because most people living were ever their living in the world are the descendants of who's ancestors invaded hundreds or thousands of years before them.

Answer 6

No.  You don't own what your ancestors did.  

Humans have conquered other humans since the beginning of time, including Native American tribes.  The Lakota Sioux conquered other tribes and took their lands... so should the Lakota Sioux leave too?

It goes back to the beginning of civilization, long before Europeans colonized North America.  Go back far enough in the history of a race/tribe/ethnicity/nation and you'll find war.  

Human nature sucks sometimes.  

Answer 7

Thats stupid, every human who live in north america is an invasive species, including "native americans" who are actually native to siberia.

Everyone has a right to live where they choose.

Also, europeans were in the eastern part of the continent before the siberians. Research the spear tips and such found in virginia.

No, not everyone should go back to europe, because europe would become heavily overpopulated.

Answer 8

Even the Native Americans were actually from Asia. In my opinion, the world is for everyone to share. So although the massacre of the Native Americans were gruesome, you had nothing to do with it and it is your home now. And we all look alike when you cut us open so...

Answer 9

you shouldnt feel guilty, but you should understand and respect the sacrifices made so that you can live the way you do now. Even if your ancestors killed no indians, you still benefit from those that did. even if your ancestors enslaved no black people, you as a white still benefit from the society created by those that did.

You dont need to feel guilt from what those that came before you did, but you do need to understand and learn. Thats what history is for.

Answer 10

i dont think anyone should feel guilty. our ancestors did what at the time they thought was right, they did it for theirs n our future. now it seems wrong what they did but honesty what can we do fit 60 billion people in europe?? times have changed we just need to accept what happened and move on from the past we cannot change it.
