    “white people give back stolen land and go back to Europe.”

    Is not a thing said many if any people say and when it is said it’s not meant literally. It’s meant to make a point.

      I guess “define many” but it’s a common enough trope in the US, and you know that as evidenced by your acknowledgment that:

      “when it is said it’s not meant literally. It’s meant to make a point.”

      Which, also, which tribe are you speaking for? Do you belong to that tribe? Are you empowered to speak for their entire community?

      And why doesn’t that logic apply from the land the Saxons stole from the Celts, exactly?

        What the fuck.

        People say things which aren’t meant literally. I cannot teach you that if you don’t know it.

          No u what the fuck, if you’re not a part of the Native American population why do you get to prescribe literality or figurality (made up two words just now) of their statements? Seems presumptive to me tbh, unless you are a part of their population but AFAIK there’s no “what the fuck” tribe so I doubt that was you answering my question (I hope you don’t need the /s to feel the sarcasm flow through your screen.)

          Look, people like this actually exist (9min mark). I’m talking about “people who agree that white people should move back to Europespecifically, and why they are wrong. He goes on to offer a couple weak alternatives to decolonization, but those suggestions aren’t even close to being actual figuative explanations of “go back to europe” (and he’s just as white as I assume you are, so, until we get someone native in here…)

          Black Israelites are wrong too, and a minority, does that mean I can’t say anyone who believes in Jakub is an absolute fucking moron? Nope, they’re dumb as hell.

            What the fucking shit are you talking about? NO ONE SAYS GO BACK TO EUROPE. “No one” meaning 99.99999999999% of people. When the occasional person does say it, it is said only to racists to illustrate how their racism comes across.

            So given your bizarre weirdo fucking takes here and the fact that you’re strangely hung up on this, you are basically telling me you are a racist who has heard this more than a couple of times, due to your racism. Now, go the fuck away, racist twat.

              Yes yes.

              thing is said

              thing is repeated by others

              “I disagree with thing”

              “they didn’t mean thing literally.”

              well then don’t say “thing,” or create more clearly intentional metaphors that can’t be taken literally ffs

              And no it isn’t “only to racists to illustrate how their racism comes across” that statement requires more proof than mine which you’ve already admitted is “a metaphorical” reality.

              So given your bizarre weirdo fucking takes here and the fact that you’re strangely hung up on this, you are basically telling me you are a racist who has heard this more than a couple of times, due to your racism. Now, go the fuck away, racist twat.

              No, you’re projecting that based on your preconceived notions of what I’m supposed to be, based on me disagreeing literally with an argument you presuppose isn’t literal. The only difference is I take it literally and you don’t and imo neither of us has the authority to make that call. You think you do have the right to decide what they mean literally or figuratively, I take their words at face value.
