    I guess the woke-crowd is objecting to the fact that OrangeMan attended 4th of July celebrations at Mt. Rushmore which was built upon "stolen land."

    Okay.

    So, let me ask this question: Where is the outrage over Spaniards stealing land from indigenous peoples in central America? Is what happened to these people any different from what happened in what is today's United States?

    If so, I'd like to hear why the situations are different.

      We should all hate Scandinavians for the Vikings stealing much of England and Ireland. Not to mention those Muslim bastards that took Spain.

        How many Spaniards are left occupying Central America today?
        How many Vikings are left occupying England and Ireland today?
        How many Muslims (Moors?) are left occupying Spain today?

              But yeah, exactly. The entire continent is "stolen land." Be it by the British, the Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch... well, the list is long.

              At least make your outrage consistent.

                I keep waiting, but these crackers haven't cooperated much...

                I joke about this sometimes, but the truth is, no. It used to be theirs, but regardless of how it was taken, it's too late to challenge it.

                        The land has been turned over many, many times.

                        The original owners were prehistoric.

                        And therefore unknown.

                        It could have been anyone's ancestors.

                        The only way to be fair about it would be to send a couple thousand dollars to everyone. Mr Trump has done this.
