    I really don’t feel good about that.

    Good thing this isn’t about you, then.

    If you want to feel less bad about it why don’t you take a look at this map and learn the language where you live. It won’t be on the final exam it’s just a little fun exercise to keep your mind occupied.

      The area I live in is disputed between 3 different First Nations, one of which I am a part of…

      I think you’re having trouble picturing me as a minority-dominant mixed race individual because you are white yourself?

        If that’s the case why the hell do you care?? You have nothing to lose by opposing it.

          Because it isn’t something that can be meaningfully implemented. Not to mention what if it all goes to a First Nation I disagree with having control of it? Like I said, it’s contested between three indigenous groups.

          There also the issue, that I keep bringing up, of me being mixed race. I don’t see how we can only look at the 25% of my genetic heritage while ignoring the other 75%. The world is a lot more complicated than a binary worldview of ‘idigenous or not’.

          You, and others blindly yelling ‘land back’ without any specifics are not being realistic at all and just want to feel better about your own position without actually taking any meaningful specific actions.

            You’re hopeless. We’re going with my original plan. Let everyone know when you’re ready to come to the table.

            That might seem harsh but the way things are going, that’s what’s going to end up happening, so shape up while you still can.

              I am hopeless when it comes to accepting your white savior view of things, yes. And which original plan? The one in support of murdering all mixed race people? Also which table? I literally don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

              If you can’t even justify your position, like…at all. Doesn’t that sort of make you consider rethinking your position at least a little bit?

                You’ve already made it clear that you support genocide, so go die. The rest of the world will go on without you just fine.

                I’m not going to waste my time with someone whose kill-or-be-killed world view is going to result in both of us dead.

                  Where did I say anything about supporting genocide? You’re the one telling me to die lol. I don’t support any form of genocide and at no point in this thread, or any thread, did I say anything to even slightly imply that.

                  Did you get me confused with someone else you are replying to or something?
