    I did listen/read your comments, you just didn’t provide any viable solution for mixed race people like me and many millions of others. And the only joke (hopefully at least) answer you can come up with is, somewhat ironically, literal genocide.

    You don’t have any meaningful solution whatsoever. I don’t either, the difference is I’m not claiming I do. You are, but won’t provide it.

      I would explain what landback is all about but you would just call it white genocide.

        I’ll wait. I was under the impression land back is about returning land. I support the concept and I too, would like my land back. I’m not white and haven’t called anything white genocide ever.

          Cool so they get their land back then you get to just continue on living except now you don’t have to pay rent because they abolished property ownership. No genocides, no mass displacements. Yeah, I know. It really is that easy. Sounds like a cool plan, we should do that.

            So I get to continue living on someone else’s land? I really don’t feel good about that. And who is the ‘they’ here? Only pure blood line indigenous people, but not mixed race indigenous people? I sincerely do not understand what you’re trying to say here.

            I definitely support ending property ownership and am a Marxist. But I still don’t know where the mixed race people like myself are supposed to go. And I literally want to go, just trying to figure out where.

              I really don’t feel good about that.

              Good thing this isn’t about you, then.

              If you want to feel less bad about it why don’t you take a look at this map and learn the language where you live. It won’t be on the final exam it’s just a little fun exercise to keep your mind occupied.

                The area I live in is disputed between 3 different First Nations, one of which I am a part of…

                I think you’re having trouble picturing me as a minority-dominant mixed race individual because you are white yourself?

                  If that’s the case why the hell do you care?? You have nothing to lose by opposing it.

                    Because it isn’t something that can be meaningfully implemented. Not to mention what if it all goes to a First Nation I disagree with having control of it? Like I said, it’s contested between three indigenous groups.

                    There also the issue, that I keep bringing up, of me being mixed race. I don’t see how we can only look at the 25% of my genetic heritage while ignoring the other 75%. The world is a lot more complicated than a binary worldview of ‘idigenous or not’.

                    You, and others blindly yelling ‘land back’ without any specifics are not being realistic at all and just want to feel better about your own position without actually taking any meaningful specific actions.
