Should the government apologize, yes. Should the church apologize, yes. But why are ordinary white people in their 20s and 30s apologizing and feeling guilty for something that happened in 1880? People on twitter (i know i know) are posting that they feel ashamed of the land they stand on, i fear they are going to off themselves (they're not)

Please tell me the detrimental affect acknowledging or trying to make amends will cause you.
I think of it this way:
How would I feel when my children that I love unconditionally were taken from me.
How would I feel when that child ran away and showed up at my house.
How would I feel when the authorities showed up to take that child away again.
There wouldn't be enough rage in the world to satisfy me.
Try some empathy.
