Brutal Things That Were "Normal" For History's Deadliest King

Yes, there was no end to the atrocities. The thing is that history was not recorded as such, but there was always a "whitewashing" of what took place.We can see that regarding White Nationalists/ Republicans in the US today as it pertains to CRT, critical race theory. Worse yet, the good old method of dividing and conquering took affect in the form of painting African kings as the evil doers instead, the White man controls the narrative. 

Just as it regards African Americans and other Disporian Africans, in particular Haiti, apologies is a good start as far as feelings are concerned. But that also puts the African victims in a position of asking for reparation, which is the practical resolution. Court systems' objective in establishing justice is to make the pursuing party whole again, as a payment of wrongful deeds. 

But just because things were relatively harsher in the Congo as a Belgium colony (as far as resurfacing information) is no indication that colonization by other European nations was any better. These were consistent and systematic behavior and tactics of uncomparable cruelty in human history, across the board, that continent was ravished in the worst imaginable ways.

Ultimately, a Black individual was not considered a person, and somehow that justified imposing extreme evil behavior on them through namely colonization and slavery. 

One aspect that is an important (subtle) consequence, yet inconspicous is the legacy of such behaviors and perpetrations. We can easily observe that when certain behaviors are propagated on a mass scale on a group, those behaviors will affect those living group species and their future generations.

We can see how the behaviors of Mayans and such empires still may be influencing generational births in the form of gang atrocities in Mexico and other places. But many times the impositions that disturb other ethno-cultural systems are still there influencing history, as the atrocious civil war in the Congo (to this date), the genocide in Rwanda, the xenophobia in South Africa ...
