RE: My Dirty and Disgraceful Past

in #indigenous5 years ago

I love a quote by Albert Einstein "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

You're entitled to your own opinion and i'm not trying to push my feelings about the how I acknowledge that my ancestors played a contributing role in trying to wipe out the Indigenous Nations.

I believe we have to understand where we came from in order to know where we are headed. This is our past and it is truly horrendous. It is my belief that we can't dismiss the past because we did not live during that time and by not taking a stand against the injustices that the Indigenous face, then we are continuing to be part of the problem.

I am expressing how I feel and thank you for sharing how you feel. I also believe that there are evil bloodlines who are responsible for this, but my ancestors played a role in supporting these evil acts, so I accept responsibility for this and I want to make amends.

How can we do that, well we have to let the Indigenous Nations determine that because we have pushed ourselves on them already. If we all lived by their standards, the world we live in today would be a much better place.

Thanks for engaging in a meaningful discussion and have an enjoyable day.
