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.
An alien civilization, observing our little rock from orbit, would in all likelihood, using our own system of classification, question why your lot is designated homo sapiens sapiens, and not a close relation of homo sapiens like the neanderthals or denisovans.
