Centuries, do you not know about the federally funded program that happened in the 70's no not 1870s, but the 1970's this program basically forced sterilization on indian women whom we're having too many children
I'm Native American though only a quarter and I have a legimate question. If we do land back does that mean America just doesn't exist anymore, because all land was native land
and if so are the people living here now gonna be forced to leave. If so how do I fit in because of my mixed race status
land back is one of my favorite arguments to have because i literally can just keep repeating variations of “no, give the land back” while some weird apartheidist freak gets progressively more pissed off & nude online.
Ted Turner "owns" a chunk of NA that is about the same land area as the nation of Samoa, population 202,000. How could anyone say that makes any sense at all I do not know. And he's not the largest private landholder in the USA.
I think he's been a wonderful steward of the land he owns. One day, this type of bare land could be all that is left that has not been developed. You might be able to google CBS Sunday Morning to find a transcript or summary of the broadcast today.
Sorry for my confusion earlier. As I said I'm indigenous only 25%, so I pass as white especially because my tribes from Nova Scotia so we were already pale. I suppourt tribal automoy I'd love to run for office in my tribal territory if it ever gained independence or more likly become a province
Oh good that was the only thing I was really confused about. I pray that the land returns to who it rightfully belongs too someday. Until that day comes we should support them in anyway they ask of the best of our ability.
historical examples of this include both South Africa in the 1990’s & Cuba after its revolution.
if someone owned massive feudal amounts of land or full on slave plantations, then yeah, that’s getting returned to who it was stolen from, but that’s also like 1% of the 1%, ya know?
Majority of land and industry in SA is still owned by whites. A result of the compromises reached between the ANC+allies and the old National Party to affect a peaceful transfer of power.
oh that was intentional & not a typo. there is a level of rightwing tantrum after they start foaming at the mouth where they rip their clothes off to pwn teh libs. it’s fucking weird.
Don't particularly care for Thanksgiving (am not American and have no love for the pilgrims who started this whole mess know as the United States of America), but now I want to eat turkey.

more importantly, i’m glad Tim Burton got over his fear of casting people who aren’t white.
Sure argue plot and story and writing, but the casting was everything great.
Them: “What do you mean by give the land back?”
Me: “I mean give the land back.”
Them: “But what about [X]? That’s some valuable land.”
Me: “Yes. Give it back.”
Then: “But… that will put a bunch of corporations over the barrel.”
Me: “Good. Give the land back.”
Them: “But…” [x100]
Sorry! Can't be bothered to care! Literally everything will be better if they fail!
(if any indigenous folks want to chime in, plz do, but i’m not trying to ask for anyone’s time on today of all days lol)

It's been a tumultuous time to get where I am today.
