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.
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.
Yeah, you for sure just don't like minorities.
Keep assuming. It's rather pathetic, but that seems apt for you.
Says the guy furiously typing "too late" at an indigenous person. Get yourself together.
Again, keep assuming. I get the popcorn out when you morons with nothing but insults come out. You've said nothing to address my points, just insist that caring about a larger population's problems more than a smaller population... when the main topic started as the larger population, is somehow an indication that I don't care about people.
You're right. I don't care about morons that INSIST on a topic coming back to a more personal topic to them.
Fuck you. Get over yourself. Native people weren't the topic, and they're a smaller group. Fucking grow up and stay on topic, you child. Native people will suffer these repercussions even worse than other races, so if you actually care about them, stop the fucking steamroller coming for all of us, because you guys get the short end of the stick first.
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?
