Native American groups join the call for reparations and target colleges who took land from tribes and only exist 'because of everything that was taken'

Sure, but who did they take it from?

Who are the original takers? 😆😊

I say give it back to the indians ....
I bet we would see some mining get rolling then.

As for the the other land ... just make them cough up
a couple billion out of their endowments .. ditch a few over paid leftys and force them to create a product based on market forces.

It might be just what we need to bring down these leftist monoliths.

One of my first thoughts when reading about the massive reparations California wanted to make because of slavery....was....when will the Indians demand theirs.

Well here it is.

This nation is crumbling from so many directions. Divided we fall.

The indians fought wars and lost. By this reasoning we need to be considering reparations to England, Spain and Mexico

LOL! The same colleges that told Whites how evil they are for taking the land are now being asked to give it back - I find a bit of symmetry to it...🤣😂🤣😎

Yes, but you also have to recognize that you are in a war now, and your side is losing…

Indians are picking the low-hanging fruit.

Does not matter since the more recent tribes of savages were careful to kill all of the previous owners.

The sort of resolution that Rome used on Carthage.

Yeah, sure.

These late-comers wandered in across the Bering straits ice bridge about 12,000 years ago and began warring with, decimating, enslaving the preexisting european-based culture that had been there since before the START of the last ice age, maybe 39,000 years ago - you know, the culture that mined all that copper out of the great lakes area to send back to Mediterranean trade routes.

So a series of asteroid strikes take out all the megafauna and the original people, leaving the cave-dwelling asiatic folks behind to scrounge, forage, repopulate until europeans came back to reclaim their land.

That’s as good an origina mythology as any the modern day tribes and their shysters are trying to gaslight us with now.
They think they own the place.

--- "...The same colleges that told Whites how evil they are for taking the land are now being asked to give it back - I find a bit of symmetry to it...."

An excellent observation.

How many fancy folk libs are busy living at the seaside in Martha's Vineyard, the California coastline or Hawaii, all the while pushing "seas are rising" blather?

How many fancy folk libs live in their enclaves while inner cities decay courtesy of their politics?

How many fancy folks libs jet around to preach about pollution and global warming?

How many fancy folk libs's alma maters -- on lands "stolen from native Americans" although there was no America then nor even the concept of "owned land" -- will defend their alma maters from forking over the land and rights to the "indigenous?" Or lobby taxpayers to foot the bill? Again. And again.

I would suggest 25% of their endowments to start!

As a Hobart grad, whose school was started before Lincoln was President, I FULLY support any reckoning for the Big Red

Make sure Syracuse faces the same disdain!

With all due respect, if you are not familiar with the Canadian assimilation history, you should read up on it.

I don’t think ANY Freeper would agree this wasn’t a complete horror show:

But of course this is emanating from every ruling class institution, which are famously not dominated by Injuns.

The Injuns are being manipulated to disenfranchise the White working class by people who speak with forked tongue and will give them nothing of value.

You knew this would be the result. Talk seriously about giving one group reparations and every self declared marginalized will claim they deserve them too.

You’re right.
Marxism never developed the necessary infrastructure for innovation, invention, progress, achievement and advancement. Islam’s the same.
Thats why the marxists and muslims are techno parasites.

Worst part? The parasites have spent the last 10 years pulling the west down at breakneck speed.

Obamanites

The poor faulkers have zero foresight.
Once America is gone, who is going to provide for progress?

Indians “owned” no land so it’s impossible to compensate them. Show me a title.

They stole the land from somebody else.

With all due respect, tribalism never produced a civilization.
