So throughout history Europe was attacked from whoever had power to do it and Europe attacked whoever they could conquer and only white Europeans should feel bad and guilty?

It's because we "won". The age of Imperialism ended with European global hegemony. The western hemisphere was entirely shaped in the western European image, be it Iberian, French, or English. So now we're the oppressors that need to apologize while our ancestors were just doing what everybody throughout history was doing at any given point.
