Re: Graves at Residential schools
The native leaders have been nothing but noble throughout this situation. None of my native friends have been disrespectful or supported burning down churches and vandalizing statues. The only ones who are a small number of white activists who think they know what native people actually want. Unfortunately, they are disparaging native people by supporting violence in retaliation.bb49 wrote: ↑Jul 3rd, 2021, 3:23 pm I have got to give a lot of credit to those natives who have spoken so eloquently on the media. No hate, no pointing fingers, no dwelling on the past, just a sense of sadness.
At least, that applies to those I've seen.
As for this being part of our heritage, not sure what that implies or is insinuating.
Here is a good article the Victoria Times Columnist by a first nations leader that's worth reading: https://www.timescolonist.com/opinion/o ... 1.24330571

Yes - given how DUMB it is to burn down churches and pull down statues, this HAS to be the work of white Leftists. There is no other group this collectively stupid in Canada. Talk about such horrible disrespect for our First Nations and Indigenous in this country.Glacier wrote: ↑Jul 3rd, 2021, 3:32 pm

This election, vote ABLNDP - anyone but those scumbag NDP or scumbag Liberals. "Justinda Trudeau" must go. No more global elitist scum in charge of our resources and our democracy.

If people were burning down Mosques after 9/11 or Synagogues I think Justin Trudeau would have been more vocal.

You don’t give a care in the world about natives. The church burnings in the okanagan were likely carried out by a native and rightfully so.The Green Barbarian wrote: ↑Jul 3rd, 2021, 3:36 pm Yes - given how DUMB it is to burn down churches and pull down statues, this HAS to be the work of white Leftists.

If you're correct in your accusation, the native(s) who did it showed total disrespect for their culture - and for their elders.Brass Monkey wrote: ↑Jul 4th, 2021, 11:51 amThe church burnings in the okanagan were likely carried out by a native and rightfully so.The Green Barbarian wrote: ↑Jul 3rd, 2021, 3:36 pm Yes - given how DUMB it is to burn down churches and pull down statues, this HAS to be the work of white Leftists.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.

My best friend growing up was ostracized by his own people’s just because his father was caucasian.

Whoever did it needs to be tracked down, arrested and thrown in jail for arson.Brass Monkey wrote: ↑Jul 4th, 2021, 11:51 am The church burnings in the okanagan were likely carried out by a native and rightfully so.
Some may view my politically incorrect opinions as harsh and may be offended by them. Some think political correctness will be our undoing.
