[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. People here are twisting themselves into pretzels to explain why they're not on native American land. Almost all of us here are descendants of immigrants to the U.S., which was colonized by Europeans. I'm not saying that we need to give back our individual properties, and I don't think that's realistically on the table anyway, but let's also not whitewash what was done to Native Americans. I believe that I'm on Piscataway land. I don't think there's anything to be done about it now, but I'm just being honest.  [/quote]

I do not believe that I am on Native Land.  And I think anyone who makes a big deal about saying they believe they’re on stolen Native Land without backing that up with an honest attempt to - give it back - is merely virtue signaling (and highly disingenuous and annoying).[/quote]

No - just being honest about the history of the U.S. even if it is an inconvenient truth. I'm not virtue signaling as I (the person to whom you're responding) am not claiming that I'm giving away my property nor do I think there's a viable proposal on that front. I think the origins of the U.S., a country that I love, makes people feel uncomfortable but, as with slavery, the oppression of native Americans is a significant part of our history. If it annoys you, that's on you.[/quote]
