Then give it back


BLM leader Lilith Sinclair in Portland says something about “while standing here on stolen land…” She gets applause from the small audience.

Given Ms. Sinclair’s statement, one might assume she believes all land in this country is stolen land, by white men, since women, blacks and others were, historically, incapable of stealing anything, since property ownership was for white men only.

One might also assume Ms. Sinclair believes all that stolen land must be returned to its rightful owners. Okay, Ms. Sinclair. Whatever you own, give it back.

Do you own a house? By your own admission, it is on stolen land.

Let’s further assume, though, Ms. Sinclair has no real property, but lives in an apartment or a condo. Give it back. Organize a strike and refuse to pay rent on stolen land until your land lord gives back land on which your building sits.

Give it back.


Search shows Ms. Sinclair is “a (b)lack and indigenous nonbinary person,” so says The Portland Mercury.
