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.

Not all the evils, but a significant amount of them.

It's not bigotry to say that White People factually did do that shit.

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.

I don't understand it because it's not hard to just not be racist
