Where do the 'settlers' go back to? Does this include Black Americans?

Don't forget the other side when there's proof otherwise. I live in Rhode Island, which has many people claim the same "stolen land stuff."

Rhode Island is the only state in the USA where there is conclusive proof that the founder bought the land legally from the native people living there, paying the natives fair market value in the process, made it crystal clear to the native people "I am purchasing this land and the right to live here from you", got the natives' full consent to agree to this, and allowed the natives to continue to live there freely without problem.

...yeah, miss me with the "stolen land" stuff for this.

I am old enough to remember when we were told the Natives were better than us because they believed no one could own the land.

Now it turns out they had strict property rights and law.

Strangely enough, they always seem to get an exemption for some reason or another.

Yeah- a lot of the same people demanding this are the same ones who truly believe that Black Americans were the real Native Americans, and indigenous Americans need to be sent back over the land bridge to Asia.

The logic is probably that they didn't choose to settle in America.

My favorite game of thrones quote is "you can't squirt the milk back up the cow's utter."

Basically no matter how bad the thing was in the past, you can't base the present off trying to put things back because at this point the milk is out of the utter and baked into a cake.

Have you heard of the country of Liberia?

I suppose they have already left the country back to their ancestral home, no?

On here or Fumbler? I haven't seen a concerted effort on here to give anything back to anyone. Personally, I'm fine with a seating shuffle. I get to go back to either Ireland or Scotland. I don't see a rush of black people to back to Africa or Hispanics to go back to...Spain? South America? And Europe would make out like bandits. All their problems would disappear back to Africa and the Middle East.

there's a lot of pro palestine, give them back their land views on here. But only in that case, not for other countries like USA. Might just have to do with not liking jews.

This guy is suggesting pro Palestinian lawyer is scheming to dispossess America?

There's plenty of fresh non-natives in Europe. Some low hanging fruit.

Good luck dispossessing a country that has many, many, more firearms and ammo than it has people.

These lawyers are retarded.

Best of luck to mixed race people.

I would bet that this is a Jewish propagandist making up bullshit because the US public isn't supporting this attack.

The source is "Palestinian". GTFOOH.

This is taught in unis under anti-colonialism. No one has to make this stuff up. Plenty of over educated woke idiots buy into it.

Technically i agree. The US is just a legal framework so it in itself doesn't have rights, it has power stemming from the people who support the government. The US government doesn't really have a "right to exist" and I don't think any of the founders ever phrased it that way. They would say things like "the people have a right to self governance." Saying the US or Israel or whatever country itself has "a right" to exist has very "corporations are people my friend" vibes. This is just from a philosophical point of view, not in relation to taking a side.
