[Comrade Khan]

our gov justed used the RCMP to try and protect some big corp from building some illegal shit on native land just this summer

 

[Jobber Doink]

100%. still doing it right now too

We need to do more then just payments to them, its trying to hide the issues behind money "look we paying them mone"

 

[Chris]

fair, though its greatly a lie to paint this as the sole reason (obviously not what u are saying tho lol)

Yeah it could have even been a good chunk but that's just more politicians doing right things for wrong reasons anyway, nothing new

 

[Comrade Khan]

while pretending to care about residential schools. its so sad

 

[Switchblake]

What?

He's not entirely wrong. Most Northerners who weren't Republicans didn't care about slavery at all, but feared for their jobs and stuff like that, but it wasn't Lincoln's concern at all.

yeah and like i said above, saying that while building on their lands and breaking treatiesi n the same breath

 

[Sky]

Any sort of "both sides are bad" when you're talking about shit like slavery is only going to cause damage

 

[Chris]

I beat ya to it smark

 

[Dakstang]

This clip from Gods and Generals pretty much sums up my feelings on the whole issue.

Surprise Surprise, the government that used his power to try to save a company that worked with Gadhafi

 

[Barry Poppins]

Shame, would love to be rid of him

Eh, his views I don't agree with, but I wouldn't say anyone who carries them are necessarily racist. It's an inherent viewpoint that's been taught to folks thanks to institutions that were through no fault of their own. Most people entirely agree slavery is fucking terrible even if you're a Lost Causer.
