Perhaps the reason why you perceive this are because:
1 - There aren't such a thing like "race" . These are social abstractions, begotten and developped in regard to one cultural region, religion or national dominant class/group's ideological stance and need to Otherize both domined and marginalized groups as well as foreign groups.
Given that "black people" as defined by Anglo-Saxon countries currently means the 750 millions of sub-Saharan Africans - which encompasses around 3,000 different indigenous ethnic groups, countless spoken languages and dialects from four different language families (Niger-Congo, Afro-Asiatic and Nilo-Saharan) , over forty or so pantomime neocolonial districts vulgarily qualified of sovereign nation-States, and dozens of dozens of historical regions each competing against each other over a millenia - and Ocean Indian Creoles-- out of the greater Pan-African Oecumenia and its nearly 2 billion of souls, as well as their latter half-billion of diasporic descendants out of sub-Saharan Africa... is it quite challenging to unite such a vast melting pot of distinc populations vaguely both interculturally and historically akin to each other under one banner.
No African emperor/ress, warlord/lady or even living God/dess in 12,000 years had sucessfully achieved such Herculean exploit, except legendary queens and gods of yore said to have be the rulers of the whole earth. No religion or philosophical stance-- except perhaps, to a vastly greater albeit nowhere close from unanimous extent, nature worship and other earth centered spiritualities, the pantheistic sun-worshipping pantheon of the old Nile, then both their common far-flung, hidden primem movens Creator, His/Her active intellect/Logos all-ruling avatar within the confines of the Creation and Their Hosts/tribes of both major and lesser gods and other spirits alike, had yet successfully unified African both ontological, spiritual and epistemological views of the cosmos. When the Europeans lusted over the Black Continent and its riches, they have to enact a Scramble against Africa to successfully achieve total dominion and even then... all of African people besides Ethiopia remained both politically and physically subjugated to the tyrannic colonial regimes of the Westerners but for hardly a half-century (barely four years for the totality of the continent, if you include the Ethio-Italian Wars) prior to be emboldered again by relentless unrest and nationalistic claims for independancy ;
2 - your peeception about black people as an inherently overly pacific "race" is therefore wrong because of the aforementioned paraphrase. Although most African cultures are fundamentally peace-thriving and content of their own sense of moral superiority and duty towars the remainder of mankind, black populations around the globe had known and endured nearly as many conflicts and wars than the rest of other developped countries. We only are less proponent in later centuries for commiting economical and politic genocides every once or ten times a quarter of century... I mean, what's the latest genocide Western medias blame us the most? The much ironically West-both-sponsored-and-supported Rwandan Genocide? Or the other one they did backed up too in the Democratic Republic of Congo just afterward?
Unless we're speaking about the pan-Arab Suprematist fostered Darfur Genocide and the fact his principal perpertators are indeed black, but Arab-descended, Islamic fundamentalist Sudanese nationals??
Whom to the half-billion of Papus and Neo-Guineans slaughtered since 2005, wasn't there both the U.S. military troops, local militias financed by the Vatican, multinational corporations and other N.A.T.O. states who caused this massacre??
And don't let me start about the racist motivations behind why the Saudis and their Western allies are currently genociding and starving off the population of the Yemen since 2015... ;
3 - Historically wise, some of the most militaristic and imperialistic polities and regions in recorded history were African, Afro-descended ruled or "Hamito-Semitic" descended ruled nations (Egypt, Kush, Phoenicia/Canaan, the Myceaneans and later Dorians, Carthage, Aksum (and later Abyssinia/Ethiopia) , the Colchidians and East Iberians/Georgians, pre-Islamic Arabian realms, the Late Chaldean Empire, the short-lived Palmyrene Empire, the Zanj Revolt in early Islamic period South Iraq, the Suddis of India, the Almoravids, Medieval Nubia, the Mali Empire, Anzicana, the Zanj/Swahili States, the Zulu Empire, Dahomey/Benin, Haiti, the Maroons, etcetera) .
Needless to say about the Dravidians, Bengalis and Veddoids of South Asia's millenia-old reputations as fierce warriors, as well as both the legendary Xia and Shang Dynasties in Chinese lore or the socalled "Kun-luns" from the eastern and southeast regions of the Orient. The millenia old reputation of dark skinned ancestralwarriors being counted amid tbe noblest bloodlines of the samurai class in feudal and now-modern Japan. The precolonial Hawaiians and King Kamehameha (I kid you not! That was his name) . Nor about the mysterious Olmecs of Mesoamerica and tales of ancient bellicose black-skinned Giants or spirits living in remote regions of the Turtle Island as well as in the black-soiled-orgolden land-center of the world in various Pre-Columbian lores neither... ;
And 4 - This is not by acting like "war minded savages" that we win a war. Genghis Khan didn't conquerred a third out of fifth of the Eurasian landmass by retaining the archaic Mongolian ways of war forever,but by adapting to the mindset of the conquerred nations and turning it at the advantage of both himself and his culture.
Shaka Zulu haven't conformed himself to the festive nature of the war games tradition amid the nations of Southern Africa while building his empire: he innovated regional warfare.
The revolutionary armies during the Cold War haven'y fought the white oppressors and their local puppets by throwing rocks and shouting "making Africa great again" like some bunch of trailer park bigots fevered by foolishness: they learnt how the enemy fight, brought the same weapomry than these latters ones and drove the haughty fools to the bush, the hills and the forest the locals only were so familiar about to bring successful guerilla warfare.
You are not fighting an oppressive government by acting like Klansmen and MAGA freaks: you learn every way the government fight you and beyond, till you know better your opponents than they know themselves?
Your perception of warfare and history are quite naive.
Why would you type all that stuff?
The thread is about unpopular opinions on black culture.
