And justifying crimes committed by individuals today on the basis of historical oppression and suffering is a fraught project. Ever read the history of Poland? Or the Philippines? Poverty, foreign occupation and oppression, horrific abuses for generations and generations. Is someone of Polish or Filipino origin less responsible for their crimes than someone of Danish or Japanese origin?

Don't purposely twist the meaning of my words. You know god damn well what I'm talking about CliffFletcher. You're being purposely obtuse. I believe you're smarter than that. I know personal accountability comes into play but the reason indigenous people
generally speaking "are where they are" is because of colonization.
