Once again, if we keep extending this then we'll basically just have to say only English-Americans have ever been fully white in America's history and ergo are the only ones to pin this on. Hence why I said it's an attempt to deflect the role of other ethnic groups within America's racial caste system over time.
So are the Arabs white then? Because on the census it says they are white and in crime data they are labeled as white.

Settlers is a trash ass book that downplays everything poor white Americans have had to fight through in a sick game of victim Olympics. While some of the things written in it are true, it's still full of alot of shit.
It's Maoist third worldism. First-worlders are not proletariat, support for the Khmer regime are other forms of crap they believe in. They're pretty hateful.

No, not at all. Black people were a forcibly imported proletariat who labored so that settlers didn't have to. https://readsettlers.org/ has good info on this subject

I mean, African Americans who migrated to Liberia did end up mistreating a lot of the natives.

Basically yes. Though Ive heard compelling arguments that many individual immigrants post-gilded age are colonized, but I haven't read enough on it.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

Not all Americans agree with that statement. The alt right definitely wouldn't. And race as a concept isn't as strong in the middle east as it is here. They fight over other made up stuff there like religion. Or borders.

You realize that the "civilization" you laud so much is nothing but the oppressive structures originally built to maintain ancient debt slavery, right? The structures that maintained serfdom? The structures that today maintain wage slavery?
Like, all of the "civilized" world began with someone declaring land belonged exclusively to them, threatening to kill anyone who disagreed with them, and then enslaving people to work on it. An "uncivilized" society (read: hunter-gatherer society), is just one where the people rightfully said no to these ancient bigwigs who tried to declare private property.

I can say with certainty those are not real leftists. They're just third world fascism.

That doesn't excuse the disproportionate role played by black American settlers during the post-ACW frontier era which came as a result of ethnic cleansing and genocidal campaigns waged by the US Army.

It's still a relevant concept in the ME. Among the reasons a family friend prefers living in Canada instead of Saudi Arabia is that, for him, he faces less prejudice for being black in Canada than in Saudi Arabia.
