    Full Title: 215 pairs of tiny shoes are displayed as mass children’s grave is found at Catholic Church-run 'Indian residential school' in Canada: PM Justin Trudeau brands it 'shameful' as ex-student recalls how classmates would simply vanish

    It's so sad how we overlook abuse. People say that it doesn't happen or us survivors are just complaining or crazy. These poor children were systemically abused and silenced. And, to add insult to injury, deniers claim that racism doesn't exist. That's only because they have the privilege of not having to deal with it.

    What do think?

    Given the explicit discrimination against whites the left is advocating for and putting into place today... you should probably just stop talking.

    When you are accustomed to privilege equality can feel like oppression.

    I think the darker side of the human condition has always been with us and always will.

    Equality is when people are treated equally.....something the left knows nothing about.

    Essentially paying investors to invest in any other business except those owned by people with white skin is not equality. It’s racist discrimination. No matter how you want to couch it.

    I think that assimilation is key for immigrants for their success in our society.. I think native Americans also must assimilate in the current society in order to thrive and succeed. Only thru success and wellbeing can tribes preserve their language culture and history and provide a good future for their children..

    I think educating Indian children was key to their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the tribes..

    Regarding children disappearing and abused? I'm sure it could have happened to some but rewriting history to make whites cruel sadist and criminal seems to be the trend so I'm not trusting of the "facts".

    I know that looking back at my own family history, multiple children from my ancestors in the late 1800s to 1920 died...multiples from the same family....died from disease..the Spanish flu primarily. We don't know how these children died.

    Well some of that is left over from me watching The Underground Rail Road on Amazon Prime. That was interesting take on the evil of whites. Then...the Tulsa Greenwood massacre where the number of 300 blacks murdered..a totally fabricated number ....is being thrown out and accepted as fact..

    So we are talking about Indian children being systematically abused and murdered by whites who "stole" them from their families. That sounds suspiciously like whites are systematically bad and evil. So sorry I distrust history being relayed right now. It all seems to point to sadistic, cruel, murderous whites and I'm abit irritated and prone to a rant.

    Nobody is asking for discrimination against anyone from the left.

    Probably because it has never existed before.

    I suppose, but then again in the US if you don't like something it can be changed and this is about change from the system that has been in place for many years..

    I am Canadian.

    This is a terrible story.

    And it's not over, there are dozens of other children's bodies in other residential schools run by the Catholic Church.

    The policy of assimilation of Aboriginal people in Canada is a horrific stain on the history of our country.

    From 1870 to 1970, the church and government took children away from their families and they were sent far from home to suffer abuse and malnutrition.

    They’ve already codified discrimination against whites into law and want more. What are you talking about?

    Yeah, probably it was mostly tuberculosis.

    Are those colonizers to blame for trying to bring native children into civilized society, even though there were diseases going around in this civilized society that the immune systems of these native children were not adapted for?


    Any proof at all for the insinuation in that article that lots of these children died from physical or sexual abuse??
