[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gotten seriously derailed.

Land acknowledgments are such a silly pretension. [/quote]

Agreed.  At what point in history are we supposed to return to?  Get over it, your ancestors lost.  Now try to move on and live well in the society that now exists here.[/quote]

Agreed. [/quote]
 
Do you get to tell people to "just get over" genocide of their people? I doubt you would feel the same if your family was murdered and they took your home and all your possessions. [/quote]

Yes. This did happen to my people. I am of Irish descent, my ancestors were conquered by the English. They fled to American and made a new life here peacefully. They did not drag terror extremism to American, they worked hard to make a better living here in their new homeland and condemned the use of terrorist groups (IRA) back in their native country.

So your ancestors left their land willingly. And got to resettle on land they wanted to with the belonging they had and brought their families along. I can see how you would make the correlation to Native Americans. [/quote]

Native Americans left Asia willingly and got to resettle on land they wanted to with the belongings they had…

It’s really hard to steal land from people who have no concept of property. They were nomadic hunter gathers who didn’t understand what the Europeans were talking about when they tried to buy the property from them.[/quote]
