We hear this often recited parrot fashion by young and older folk, millennials, learned historians and others, and we all know if you say something enough times, or hear something enough times it eventually sinks into our subconscious as truth and becomes reality. But what really is the truth about this quite serious matter? If the land was stolen then of course this should be taken into account when anyone talks about walls and borders and subsidies for ancestors of people who may have once owned that land.
Well I am am not sure myself, but I came across this interesting speech on the matter. Before you watch I will say one thing that does not justify taking land from someone else but may add food for thought; that virtually all borders in the world were not drawn up with nice meetings but came about through war and conquest. I have also heard it claimed that Indians stole land from the people that owned it before them and the people before them did the same – again – I cannot verify this and we must always seek the truth and not just repeat what the likes of lay-folk like me say.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related.
