Revisionism again

[vetran]

Is is permissible to point out to an erstwhile accuser that your descendants were slave owners of his/her descendants that his/hers were slave traders?

There is only one slavery that committed by the Europeans - Kerrching!

I’m Welsh and so is my wife. And you SKB are indeed a sad little man if you think that’s an insult.

Cultural change by coercion is fundamentally bad, even if you think it is morally justifiable.

No it's not fundamentally bad. It all depends on the cultural thing that is being changed. As morals change some cultural items may become more or less 'good'. But culture is by it's very nature enforced anyway so forcibly changing it is morally neutral.

Some examples that are relevant to todays morality
1) Banning of cannibalism
2) Banning FGM
3) Abolition of slavery
4) Legalisation of homosexuality (100 years ago this was different)

If Wales was flattened out it would be bigger than England

You're just saying your morality is superior to the savages so you get to decide what is and isn't an acceptable cultural practice for the savages to engage in.
