1. There are no "races" of people. Race is a myth -- a social construct without any scientific merit -- which merely serves to perpetuate racism. There are social, ethnic and/or cultural groups of peoples, but NO races.

2. Many peoples around the world, including various peoples of "Europe," lived in communal, egalitarian societies prior to invasion/destruction by expansionist, hierarchical societies.

3. However, various societies around the world became violent, class-stratified, invaders on their own, without any influence from European invaders.

We shouldn't overly idealize the pre-Euro-invasion past as some glorious utopia, nor blame *everything* on Europeans, OK? They didn't invent imperialism and genocide; those had been around for many centuries (millennia?) prior to the rise of any significant European threat. This isn't meant to diminish or justify what European invaders did (genocides and slavery) to many peoples around the world, but is merely a call look honestly at history.
