This meme references the entirety of world history and it's just blatantly stupid and wrong.
The text doesn't say "colonial age history in one sentence" or even "American history in one sentence", it says "WORLD history in one sentence"
I refer you to the latter half of the comment you replied to
I know.
The meme claims all of world history is caused by white people being dangerous. -> A commentor mentions a very significant instance in said "world history" where white people were in fact not the danger -> you reply by saying said significant instance is not part of the timeline mentioned in the meme, but rather much later -> I respond by saying you don't make any sense because the meme refers to all of world history, therefore including other commentors significant event
Did I miss something?
Yes you missed that I was replying to an earlier comment that would place this in the mid 1700s and that my comment was limited to that part.
Did you really need that explained to you?
