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.
