No, having raised white for decades, and then finally studying white American racism against black Americans, I can tell you white people have a lot to be ashamed of. They are number by far in ethnicities needing heaps of shame, collectively from 1500-1950. There is no balance and equilibrium or equivalence that can be achieved. The history has been written by white men, so of course you are go to have a rosy picture. The truth numerically is the opposite. From 1834 to 1981, no group of white men that killed and slaughter one or a group of black Americans, who were accused of something that later turned out to be not true, was captured, put on trial, and then found guilty and put in jail for those crimes. None. There is no group of black men who set out with weapons to catch a black man or men they accused of some injustice (like raping a black woman), then killing the falsely accused and his friends who had nothing to do with it. None.

That can only perhaps be ‘balanced’ by the western white Europeans. And the west Europeans are may be worse in scale. Civilization? Some rebel philosophers with great ideas of natural rights, in contrast to horrible ones like Hobbs who was pro-monarch/dictator, stand in contrast to a continent of repressive Kings and Czars and Queens and Sultans with fancy robes and jewels, but are basically monarchical single party authoritarian rulers lock in unending wars with each other and the rest of the world. Over this period of centuries of the “Industrial Revolution”, what other ethnicities committed higher rates of industrial scale enslavings and genocides that the white “civilized” ones in Europe?
