I agree with your analysis but disagree with the diagnosis. History of all nations prove that "social and territorial" dominance played a part of the civilization's origins. There may have been pockets where large tribes did not war between themselves, but in general, not a continent on the planet remained immune from natural human instincts of self-preservation. This single innate character trait represented an aggressive attitude toward securing resource rich land, and in many instances, enslavement. I do not deny the enormous transgressions of white society on the Black and brown nations of the world. But, slavery and penury by the wealthy of those societies to enrich themselves existed in all races, colors, and cultural backgrounds. Then "religion" came into existence. It was yet another reason to subjugate and dominate. I am sorry to say, regardless of modern times. there exists the same prevalent attitude in parts of the world where people are enslaved in one form or another. Thanks for your reply.
