we see Microsoft employees apologize to 20 Indigenous tribes for being in Seattle.
Please correct me if I am wrong - This is why I feel every American should be disgusted:
-
The purpose of a sincere apology is promise future reparations of some kind
-
Microsoft themselves has NO intention of paying these reparations (despite being in a perfect position to give back any land they feel guilty about)
-
The expectation is that YOU will have to repay BIPOC to assuage Microsoft's guilt....
-
If I wanted to be held responsible for historic crimes of my people I would go and live in North Korea - I hear they love that shit.
Yeah, to your last paragraph, Zim, South Africa, Paraguay, Bolivia, Jamaica, HAITI, PNG, East Timor, the Indian subcontinent, Tibet and China (in particular Shanghai, Beijing, Macau and Hong Kong), amongst others, say hi… 😕
Also Japan with what they did to Christians in the past (inc. literal crucifixion 👌🏻).
Also NZ, with its Māori roadblocks and shadow parliament (there’s a whole separate Māori electorate system. No, I’m not making that up)…
This never ends well, in the long run. Never.
