But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can't make the distinction.

That doesn't mean everyone living on stolen land gets a pass just because they weren't the ones to steal it. They have an obligation to make it right.

The American genocide wasn't as thorough as you think it was.
I don't think they were trying to downplay the severity. I think they were just pointing out in a snarky way that there were survivors, and thus, we can ask their descendants these questions.
