WTF!! 1900?! William McKinley killing browns? You're a smart guy; what kind of crack pipe are you smoking! We helped browns get their independence from white oppressors; if anything, we began affirmative action that year! 
This is where views are supposed to respectfully diverge.
However, I see that they haven't and that you are viewing those with different views than you as being on the crackpipe.
True fact: the US was hardly better at ruling places like the Philippines than the Spanish were. To quote William J. Bryan: "All we did was replace an oppressive Spanish regime with an oppressive American regime."
If McKinley government so cared about the Philippines, they would've granted them independence instead of viciously putting down a rebellion.
So much for getting rid of evil "white oppressors".

It took well over three decades to grant the Philippines an autonomy, and over four to return their independence.
