Throughout the reading I found myself getting very disappointed with that fact that numerous cultures and home lands of native people were destroy. Many European colonial empires did not only take over the lands throughout the world but they also made humans as in Africans suffer so much pain, Killing raping doing whatever they pleased with these humans. I have always wondered since I was very young why did these humans have to go through this horrible life? Most people believe because things happened for a reason. These humans had to face this awful life for what?, because till this day we still see a lot of racism. We still see groups of colored people living in the bad neighborhood and groups of whit healthy people living in a great nice looking neighborhood. I bring this up because in the book they mention how they started to separate each other by colored. I guess one can say that maybe we can learn something from this issue which is to be strong and hope for change. At the same time I really believe that if Colonial Empires never happened then we humans would not see each other more superior then other ethnicities. I strongly agree that the colonial empires are way we think that we might be better than other cultures and ethnicities. As for example when the men in the book in page 589 says that they did not want to teach the Africans English because of danger. They did not want them to try and empower them the British men were afraid of them being smart as they were.
