    This document discusses the links between colonialism, Christianity, and white supremacy. It argues that colonial powers civilized and colonized indigenous peoples through Christian mission schools that taught European theology, converting and whitening local populations. This colonialism was enforced through military power and guns, and systematically exterminated indigenous peoples and erased their cultures. Current cultural genocide policies continue this legacy of colonial power over local communities. The document advocates power with communities through equalizing education instead of divide and rule approaches based on gender, race, and class. It presents local Sabah narratives as an alternative to colonial perspectives.
