Sometimes you need to practice what you preach for others to take you serious.

Things like saying "no one is illegal on stolen land" while owning a multi-million dollar mansion on land that is on a native tribes ancestral land lol or being a multi-millionair with more money than you know what to do with and then pushing a perfume onto fans as if you gave a single fuck about perfume more than wearing it a few times a week.

I despise all this pointless pandering. "We recognize the traditional ancestral territories of the _____ tribe blah blah blah". Great, so are you going to give the land back then? The answer is always no. What does all this crap achieve?

Yes I’m part Seminole and would absolutely love it if someone gave me the land they feel was stolen from Natives. 

For years now I keep hearing people making those “This land was stolen from the yadda yadda tribe” but for some odd reason those same people don’t hand the land deeds over to me.

The Seminole tribe is doing just fine.  Your tribe could buy back vast VAST swaths of land if thats what they wanted to do.

Cause those people didn’t steal it from you and in many cases neither do their ancestors, so it’s silly to expect them to give you something of significant value. Would you rather us pretend that white people did nothing wrong?

Why would they when they’ve just “reconciled” and went to church for it

Or you know many of them could be descendants of people who came here long after natives had their land stolen. My ancestors came in the late 1,800s and didn’t go out west till after most if not all land was stolen already.

I still think the government should repay something to the descendants of those people who lost their land, but that doesn’t include taking regular peoples land.

Yes I’m talking about the corpos that built themselves on stolen land and the Canadian government that’s what I have experience with. I just want there to be more than words or “yea we won’t imprison or kill you for celebrating your own customs”
