The World's UnFair

I would just encourage people, if they have the means and ability, to give it back and if they don't, maybe help Indigenous people take it back


The World's UnFair" that has one goal: to convince people to give public and private land back to the people who once occupied it. It may seem unreasonable but it happens. Many have already given the land back to those who rightfully claim it.

I know several of our favorite schools have native monuments and historical sites on campus. That would be a good starting point.

An 'anti-World's Fair' makes its case: give land back to Native Americans



Sure. Just let me know which tribe is the "true" owner of the land and never did killing and conquering to get it. I'll sign the deed over right away.

Who can say they are the rightful owner? One native American tribe at some point or another ousted the previous groups of people living there.

If every bleeding heart Democrat would give their wealth, jobs and property to minorities this nation would thrive!

They preach it, but cannot make themselves do it.

How far back, though? Do we go back a certain distance and then stop? Or are we correcting for history as far back as we have records?

Everyone with Saxon blood lust leave the British isles entirely.

Additionally, Italians with heritage back to time, must live back to Rome and abandon all country sides in Italy.

Which specific people, as many tribes ran other tribes off the land they were on when they were run off by Europeans.

My ancestors were Irish. The Irish in the west of Ireland can trace their roots to the Iberian Peninsula. Can they go back reclaim Spain?

The southwest was inhabited by tribes that came up from South America who killed all the inhabitants that were there.

The Northwest was inhabited by people who came over the land bridge and killed the inhabitants that were there.

Many upper Midwest tribes where killed and dispersed by southern tribes in Canada, some of which had Viking DNA.

Who determines indigenous?

Is there any land in the world that someone didn't kill someone else to obtain ? The Europeans were all peacefully coexisting for hundreds of years before they came to America and genocided?

Mostly nomadic people that lost a war. Do I get to go back to Rome and demand reparations as well?

If I give them my land do I get a percentage of the profits the eventual casino takes in?

Nope. No sense in returning the world to an unstructured mess to salvage the feellllings of some guilt-tripping libs.

The modern world wasn't developed by hippies.


Your land?? YOUR arse....

Orko unless your leanings have drastically changed, this is the team you lock step vote for. The ones that seem to never think things through before blabbing on about some emotional feel goods
