So I have been a little busy, does not mean the attitudes are gone

So it has been a while since I last wrote anything. Does this mean there has been very little to write about? Does this mean the whole systemic racism thing has solved itself and no longer exists? A quote from the editorial section today: "We are a Christian country, pioneered by mostly Christians. We always said the Lord’s prayer in school and saluted the flag every morning. It seems to me that we are letting minorities take over what we stood for for hundreds of years" (Heaven help us *in response to the atheist ads in the bus) see article here First of all, Mr. Rafuse, we are not a Christian country, we are a forced upon Christian society. Christianity was not on this soil until the likes of Champlain, Cartier, and the boys landed on the shores and thought the best way to take over, I repeat TAKE over, was to get the folks living here for well over 13,000 years to become saved. Saved from what I ask? Saved from the physical, mental, and sexual abuse that was delivered daily like communion? Saved from unholy act of speaking your own language? Saved from peace and closeness with the Earth that came with our ceremonies? What exactly was Christianity saving us from? So, you are upset because "we" are letting minorities take over what "we" stood for for hundreds of years. Let me ask you Mr. Rafuse,...how does it feel? Think long and hard about that. Remember, you are talking around 400 years of what "we" stood for. For the First Nations that number is well over 13,000 years of what WE stood for. So when I am told by folks like you "that was the past" "that was so long ago. get over it" "treaties mean nothing", I say to you Mr. Rafuse, that thing you stood for, for hundreds of years, that was in the past... GET OVER IT
