Didn't you say you were going to vote for Cornel West? What are his thoughts on the genocide of Native Americans and whether the land should be returned to them?
He made a statement on Indigenous People's Day about what he already plans to do and states plainly that he needs to do more work as a scholar and activist to learn about how to bring justice to the Native Americans that were genocided in pursuit of Manifest Destiny.
Bringing justice to those that were genocided would entail ending the occupation, returning all stolen land to their ancestors, and probably transferring all assets to them. Not some half-assed "I'll strive to create an office to ease the pain"
part of his platform is to use FPIC to return land equitably to tribes, as well as issue various reparations. It's hard to get any more clear than that. Cornel West has always meant exactly what he says.
As I said: half assed
Retreat, return, repair. Anything less is just trying to excuse and continue to profit off the genocide
you aren't a leftist, so you'll forgive me if i don't let you set the standard.
I'm not a leftist because chex notes I want to see the stolen land returned?
Glad you're setting the standards here
you're not a leftist. what you have to say about returning stolen land is meaningless to me.
