There is no “American liberty” until natives get their #LandBack
The next time you need justice, I hope someone says something better to you than “too late, you’re just one person”.
It's too late because it's hundreds of years and MILLIONS of deaths late, you numpty dumbass. There are far, FAR more people than the natives, now. Do you like white-knighting for lost causes? Good for you, idiot.
How about you stop pretending to care about the wellbeing of others if you're going to ignore the struggle of most in favor of tokens?
It’s not just hundreds of years. Those people are still there today. It’s never too late to do the right thing. In fact, Canada has returned some stolen land lately so please don’t tell me that it’s too difficult when you haven’t even tried.
By the way, on second reading of your reply you sound like an absolute maniac. Are there any other minorities you’d like to see deprived of justice and funding? Wheelchair users maybe? The deaf or blind? Check yourself.
We're talking about a general issue affecting hundreds of millions. My point is NOT that natives have no valid gripes. It's that you are ignoring a HUGE current issue to whine about an issue where it is TOO LATE to have any similar kind of impact.
You are the dumbass whining about how the A/C hasn't worked for years in a car while the engine is about to explode.
It's never too late to do what is right and to make amends for wrongs committed no matter how long ago it happened. Your actions affect people for the rest of their lives, often changing them permanently, and this is why we must aspire to be kinder to each other and to emphasize with one another.
Especially in terms of genocide and other crimes committed against whole cultures. Those types of crimes not only affect the direct victims, but their descendants, whose potential, prospects and lives were permanently changed for the worse before they were even born. What the Native Americans suffered is so horrendous it is hard to even describe. And it is all a part of the United States's long history of racism, fascism, slavery and hatred.
To argue it's irrelevant is not only pretty obnoxious but incorrect.
I agree it's never too late. I am arguing the magnitude of impact. Helping a couple million people decades after the fact in favor of helping the dozens of millions impacted today is simply short-sighted target fixation.
It's Krazy to be this much of a dick to an indigenous person. I bet you want black people to stop whining about slavery and reparations too.
What part of, "this is NOT about whether natives have valid gripes" did your dumb ass fail to understand?
Yeah, you for sure just don't like minorities.
Says the guy furiously typing "too late" at an indigenous person. Get yourself together.
Lol, I made you type all of that and I'm not even going to read it. You're salty 😂😂😂
No, you're just dumb. Thanks for proving me correct.
Still talking? Not even trying to enjoy some time with your family? Maybe do something productive? Nope, just being big mad on the Internet 😂😂😂
You are a very sad person.
😂😂😂😭😂 done yet? Lmao
Just proving me more and more correct. Keep it coming.
Last word type of person, hmm?
Hashtags on here don’t work that way.
