North Carolina’s new $30 billion state budget contains a provision that gives extraordinary investigative powers to a partisan oversight committee co-chaired by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R) and House Speaker Tim Moore (R). The Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations — or Gov Ops for short — is empowered to seize “any document or system of record” from anyone who works in or with state and local government during its investigations. The rule applies to contractors, subcontractors, and any other non-state entity “receiving, directly and indirectly, public funds,” including charities and state universities.
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.
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.
