Praising an apology that isn't even yours to accept, much less praise, is peak white liberalism.
The apology has 0 action behind it, while survivors of these "schools" live in poverty, many without clean water. The trauma our elders have runs deep, as does generational trauma comes with it.

While they do this, they keep encroaching on Indigenous land with oil pipelines. It's all noise. Walz is just one example. He broke his promise to protect treaty land & called the National Guard to bust heads when people protested. Same thing in MI.

Fuck I hate liberals. Well, not necessarily fair to all of them; I'll say Blue MAGA.
Punished for simply being indigenous. Speaking our languages, for our spirituality, our cultural ways. Starved. Beaten. Raped. Killed.
They would rub her brown skin, hard and repeat "Dirty being, dirty being" while literally trying to rub the Indian out of her. A little girl, not even 10. They starved the children.

Its a practice that's far too common that I hate intensely.
1. Empty apologies mean jack shit.
2. Quite literally, actions are all that matters.
3. It doesn't really matter if he apologized, when It's more empty words in a long history of empty words from the US government.
4. Apologizing is good. Apologies without corrective action are worthless.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk !
and if the behaviour is changed, but no explicit apology was given, that's still good
therefore it's only the behaviour change which matters, the apology is irrelevant
JFC.
i live in Canada, and am well aware of the ongoing horrible and racist treatment of Indigenous people in north america
the behaviour did not change
and plenty more examples like that
