I think it's too divisive. I think there's a way to move toward Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream without running roughshod over previous and existing inequities.
Amen, we can't escape the fact that our history consists of "conquered" peoples. How do we address, that although we may have taken land from the natives, the Cree may have taken it from the Blackfoot (not an accurate example) and so on, who gets redressed and where does it end?
