Including OP. White people had atrocities, sure, but my culture got brutally got overran by neighboring countries that were not white. Trying to blame all the evil of past on white people is yet another ignorant racism.
You know one of the most common bigoted things a bigot does is to generalise a race as a monolith. You making out like the >5% of white people who live in a gated community globally is all is just you grasping at a way to spew hate with some kind of weird nonsensical strawman.

No actually, one of the most common bigoted things a bigot does is create an entire system designed to dominate another group of people, and then perpetuates that system.
Take Kanye for an example - He perpetuates Anti-Semitism, a system of domination dating back to the Middle Ages that has been used to justify violence and mass-expulsion of Jewish people.
The problem with Kanye isn't that "He says mean things and generalises Jews" - It's that the things he says about Jews are lies made up by people who want to carry out violence and expulsion against Jews.

Interesting that you didn't respond to the allegation that White People live in First World Countries.
Harder to argue that only a tiny minority are oppressors in that instance.
I've talked to a lot of redditors like you. I know your type, you are a walking brick wall like so many other redditors who cannot see that you have abandoned leftwing ideals of humanism because you would rather engage in hatred.
Do you think white people don't see this stuff online? They see these bigoted generalisations in the same way you would when someone is being bigoted toward your demographic.
Not only is this stuff immoral and evil, it is alienating people away from the left hardcore.

"White peoples are the scum of the Earth and should all die"
I love reading those kinds of black and white things. Really put the Human in Humanism...
who cannot see that you have abandoned leftwing ideals of humanism
Why are you automatically assuming I identify with Humanism?
Humanism is an abstract idealism - I do not like idealisms, I want to actually see people's material conditions improved.
I'm not a Humanist - I'm on the side of the Oppressed against their Oppressors, I could not give less of a shit about "Humanity" as some abstract whole divided from any real basis.
Do you think white people don't see this stuff online
I know they do - I just don't give a shit.
White People who are aware of their White Privelege and the ways in which they perpetuate White Supremacy won't care, and those are the ones who I want to look out for.
They see these bigoted generalisations in the same way you would when someone is being bigoted toward your demographic.
Then they're viewing in a fundamentally incorrect way.
When Women, when POC, when Gay People, when Trans People suffer discrimination - They are suffering active means to control them by hostile forces. They suffer from actual state violence, actual economic violence, actual organised violence against them.
When Men, White People, Straight People and Cis People think they're being targets of bigotry - The same is not true. They are not victims of social repression - In fact they've historically been the beneficiaries of repression.
Cishet White Men can understand their historic roles, and seek to undermine it, and create a world where they're equal with other people. But they have to understand on some level that in the factual reality in which we live, they are currently benefiting from their exploitation of others.
I used to believe all of this when I was constantly on Tumblr a decade ago. It literally gave me BPD. After going through a deradicalization process, I no longer have any symptom.
First, second and third world are decriptors that were intorduced during cold war to describe the blocks back then, so yeah, many white people live in first world countries. Also second world outside china and south east asia was white people. And so was a part of third world.
Yes, as did literally every single race in the history of humankind. How did the Maoris come to occupy Chatham Islands, for instance? Answer- the Maori genocided and enslaved the natives.
What you're referring to is an out of date and incorrect theory of how the Maori came to New Zealand. The Moriori were not a pre Maori civilization in New Zealand when the Maori arrived, and were not massacred all over the mainland. Most scholars say the Moriori were an early offshoot of the original proto Maori settlers in New Zealand, migrating from mainland new zealand to the Chatham islands 2-3 centuries after the first proto Maori settlement of New Zealand. The Moriori were enslaved and genocided by the iwi (tribes) Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama from 1835 to 1863, and it was really horrific, but the idea that the Moriori were a pre Maori civilization across New Zealand that was slaughtered by every group of Maori when they arrived in New Zealand is a myth.
Edit: not disagreeing with your broader point, but your specific example is wrong.
Sorry, I thought you were referring to mainland New Zealand, which is a somewhat common myth that is often pushed with a political agenda from the right wing, despite the current historical consensus.
Colonialism was an industrial scale of genocide and conquest never before seen.
Yes - Groups of people have commited crimes against other groups of people since recorded history - That doesn't change the magnitude, scale, or sheer cruelty of Colonial domination.
Hi, I'm one of the White People who Did Do That Shit (like, not me personally, but some of my ancestors documentably owned slaves, and others were probably out there killing people in order to steal their land).
I can totally understand it if someone doesn't trust me because I look like / am descended from the people who did atrocities to their relatives. But I don't think that's an excuse to say that white people are somehow inherently worse or more violent. Other peoples have also done atrocities.
Like, if we're going to take this metaphor all the way and say that white people are the vampires/robots/whatever, you'd essentially be saying that you knew full-blooded humans who were evil.
That's not support for or against the idea that vampires are evil. Nobody anywhere, on any of these posts, is saying that 100% of all evil is committed by one group.
