    If you’re going to whaddabout like this, then what about the US and Canada? They are occupied territories. But instead of a timeline of almost 1 century, it’s a timeline of a few centuries. Where do we draw the line? Or should the US and Canada be giving back their territory?

    You’re blaming a victim here based on the circumstances of her birth.

    Or hey, when we’re in that territory, should white Americans be personally responsible for slavery? Any problems a white American experiences should be written off, and have them described with “(who is an oppressor)”?

    Your comment is in terribly poor taste.

      They should be doing more than they’re doing for Native Americans now, that’s for sure.

      The problem is with these kinds of ‘great thinkers’ is that their answer is inevitably “Yes” to all of those questions, because their entire worldview is based off the premise that certain people and groups are inherently bad and other people and groups are inherently good.
