    This is heartbreaking. I can’t believe people don’t understand what America was built on. Exploitation. Murder. Rape. Pillage and plunder. We have never made right these wrongs. Rather we’ve whitewashed our history and continued our immoral legacy of colonialism across the world. We have fat white people who believe this land is theirs and this country should be all white. Their ignorance and arrogance are beyond comprehension. I don’t know how to make things better. I just don’t understand people’s ideologies.

    Mi'kmaq here. Please do not mention Facebook on ICT Newscast. Mentioning it adds nothing and makes me click OFF the video, shrinking your view time. Please do not abuse Google's algos to give free advertising and more money to that sneering white supremacist narcissist CEO of Facebook who hoarded 90 percent of the STOCK of Facebook after it went public. Facebook is the reason there were over 6000 MMIP in 2016; he sold you out and is still selling you out to buy Porches and 1600 acres of Hawaii and compounds in Lake Tahoe and most recently a slave-owner mansion in DC.
