- Wassup James, I got a question?
- Wassup Sam, what's your question?
- Yeah, it's the belief that the United States is destined to expand across the entire continent.
- Have you heard of Manifest Destiny?
- Yeah, it's a pretty controversial concept.
- Right, and it was used to justify the colonization and takeover of Native American land.
- That's true, but it's important to recognize the harm and injustice that was inflicted on Native American communities.
- I know, but at the time, many people believed it was their God-given right to settle the land.
- Absolutely. We need to learn from our past mistakes and do better in the future.
- Definitely. It's a dark part of American history that we can't ignore or forget.
- Definitely. We can't move forward without first acknowledging and addressing the past.
- And that starts with acknowledging the harm and suffering caused by Manifest Destiny.
- Definitely. It's not just about saying the right things, it's about doing the right things too.
- And it's not just about words. We need to take action to make things right, like returning stolen land and providing reparations.
- Absolutely. We need to listen to their voices and work together to create a better future for everyone.
- We also need to recognize and respect the sovereignty of Native American communities.
- Definitely. It's not going to be easy, but it's necessary if we want to create a more just and equitable society.
- And that means dismantling the systems and structures that continue to oppress and marginalize Native American communities.
- It's going to take a lot of hard work and commitment, but I believe we can do it.
- Me too. Let's start by educating ourselves and others, and then take action to make real change.
- Yes it was, thank you.
- That was a good conversation, James.
- I'm going to my Dads today, so I'm riding with you on the bus.
- Is your mom picking you up or are you going to your Dads.
