Tell her we didn’t steal it, we killed them and took it. If she is uncomfortable with that tell her to find a country were murder and pillaging has not occurred and live there. She would have to die adrift in the ocean.

Basically a 5 minute lecture on the history of how the land she lives on was stolen from Indians & how large of a spiritual debt she owes to that particular tribe.

My brother had the same thing happen to him last week.

Has anyone else heard one of these?

Elizabeth Warren was in your zoom meeting?

Well that's what the Iriquois did to the Neutral tribe in southern Ontario. They exterminated them.

And the Japanese drove the Ainu into a tiny fringe area after immigrating from mainland Asia.

The Bantu drove the Hottentots into a small dry corner of SW Africa.

And waves of tribes launched wars of extermination in the Middle East.

And we don't need to mention the Rig Vedas, how the Aryan tribes drove the others south in India.

Which native tribe?

The ones that stole it from the tribe that was there before them only a few decades before your ancestors arrived?

Or the ones that tribe stole it from first 300 years before?

Or the ones that stole it from that tribe 600 years before?

ect.

Everything in the world was flowers and roses and living with the animals and having love-ins with your neighbors before mean old whitey showed up.

Absolutely, I would leave the meeting. But I am close to retirement and I don’t put up with crap anymore.

Truthfully, I would just ask what it had to do with the agenda and tell them I have work to do.

Wonder how this broad would answer a question about the pillagers currently strolling into our country, determined to take land and riches from those already legally here?

What is this, if not stealing? Likely Xe’s all in favor of it.

Why? Self loathing guilt or some other idjit feels.

Then tell her we are capable of doing it again.

Make their heads explode.
