[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7738122, member: 6802378"] How talking about this but avoiding bad vibes? This is an entertaiment fantasy product based in a age from past History. This is about the conquest of America, and matters linked to this, like the anti-Spanish black legend. We, everybody, know some horrible things happened but also there are a lot of lies told by the enemy propaganda by rival powers. We need self-criticism but not being manipulated by feeling of guilty. How to explain it better with an example? Let's imagine a comedy movie where a grumpy mother tells time after time about the annoying actions when you were a child. She says the truth, but her attitude isn't helping to fix and improve the things. We need a more asertive tone We must notice about the syndrome of the tall poppies, when somebody stands out from the other, but he doesn't recieve respect, but hostility by rivals and envious. If we talk about the Spanish History, let's remember we are not forgiben because we, the people with "dirty blood" (Jew and Muslims ancestors) and a "lucky break", discoverd the new world, and become Catholic faith. And now the current USA is suffering the same fate, your own black legend created by enemy propaganda by rival powers. We need to get the right balance between self-criticism and faith in oneself, to know when to listen and when say no to the words by the toxic people and to say no to be manipulated by way of guilty feeling for things happened generations ago. The hipotetical controversy about this tittle isn't only about its links with the sad facts from real History, but the Hispanic identity. The main powers want to controll the culture, and the WASPs (Protestan Anglosaxons), Communist China and (born again Christian?) Russia are fighting for the domain of the enternaiment industry (including sci-fi and fantasy fiction) to tell masses about how they have to think. (Didn't you know Hollywood works for the "Ministery of the truth"? You should notice the difference among the true freethinker who explains the reasons of his point of view, and the toxic people who try punish with psichological abuse againts who dares to disagree).
