I can definitely see what you are saying. But historically it could easily have gone the other direction. For example, if the Umayyad caliphate had been successful at Tours over a thousand years ago, the symbolic color of power and human oppression would have been drastically different. And given the chance, I believe that those powerless now would gladly become oppressors themselves. People are people in the end; all are capable of wickedness.
Anyhow, not my intent to derail the thread, that just stood out to me.
