Reply to comment by naazzttyy in The US government killed Lummi orphans for their land. White people continue to live on the murdered orphans land. This is the land that is beachfront in the middle of the reservation. by chiefswoneaglesloose
So the only response to the murders and thefts is to wait for a couple of generations to pass and ignore them. And that will make it ok? Also ignore this type of thing that is happening now because you are not personally affected, or would be affected if it was stopped?
“Don’t hurt my feelings! I don’t want to know about slavery because I didn’t do. And if my family did, it makes me feel bad so no one can know!”
Yes, I know you don’t give a damn about the Lummi, because a cave man took the kill of another cave man way back when. But we’re supposed to be the exceptional nation (don’t make me laugh). We’re the most civilized, modern, moral society in the world if you took a survey of fellow Americans. How does ignoring what we did helpful to anyone except the white majority? I’m white. I have white privilege. But I’m willing to fight for others. How this gets fixed is above my pay grade, but I do want it fixed.

Thank you for this response, it generalizes how I feel about this as a native.
