This is the Internet. Whenever there's progress, you get two camps:

  1. Progress is bad, actually!

  2. Recognising progress is bad, actually!

You're being downvoted because your comment doesn't contribute to the discussion. This is like when you ask a question about a product on Amazon and a bunch of verified purchasers get the notification and respond with "I don't know".

Honesty is important, making a pointless reply that does not contribute to anything is not. It is clearly a rhetorical question, meaning it does not require an answer, it was asked for dramatic effect and/or to make a point. So no you don't always need to answer when someone asks.

To be fair, i understand the point hes/shes making. To me its a valid statement even if it does uncomfortably force us to acknowledge one of the darkest parts of American history

True but you don't have to add to the conversation that you have nothing to add to the conversation.

Even if the reason it’s needed is very bad, this is still good news because it shows we’re at least making a little progress in helping the communities that we’re affected by the original reason.

Well, yeah it was stolen by our ancestors but not us.

I’m just happy to be alive for good history to be made.
