Viktor Vijay KumarThe 'Renaissance' West Butchered the Rest.If I had to choose between an erudite Aristotle and an unknown ‘soulless’ black slave I would choose the latter. The ascendancy of the West was on a heap of bodies of slaves and trampled humanity through colonization
About This Quote
The Renaissance was a period of cultural change that occurred during the 14th century in Europe. It was a time of great intellectual and artistic achievement. The Renaissance is notable for its use of the humanistic approach to study, which emphasizes the dignity and humanity of the individual. At the same time that Europe's culture was being transformed by Renaissance ideals, many cultures were being destroyed or subjugated by Western powers. The West butchered the rest, but now it is their bodies that are trampled upon by us all.
