Audience Member Warning: Racism Genocide Segregation Torture Mass killings HUNTING/Commodification of the bodies of POC Concentration camps Forced sterilization Eugenics Kidnapping Cultural genocide Child abuse / neglect / torture Residential schools Victim blaming Abuse apologism/Gaslighting White privilege denial Racist genetic theory [It's for the good of the native. It's the white man's burden] "Here let me rape you for your own good, you'll really enjoy it, you know you want it. It's the same thing - the colonialist's mentality is a rapist's mentality. And all those polemics that are used to defend a rapist - it's always the fault of the victim, she flirted, she wore the wrong clothes, she teased, she did this, she did that. The rapist's argument- apologetic, defensive posture. Which is hackneyed, in the extreme. It's transparently see-through. It's exactly correlated to the arguments colonists use to justify colonialism." Well that was sickening.
