![It also makes no sense if you think about it for more than 2 seconds. The slogan is meant to be at least pro-immigrant if not full pro-open borders but if you agree that America is in fact "stolen land" then what you actually end up implying is that its ok for immigrants to be complicit in the "theft." Either immigrants need to leave and give the land back or the land isn't actually stolen and they can stay - you cant have it both ways.

And then there is the problem of "Stolen from whom, exactly?"
Which tribe? And if you can identify that, then of course, they took that land from another tribe, who took it from another tribe, and so on.
It's one of those "Kept their mind so open that it fell out," situations.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ecfntqgcsbzxk7areifx64tp/bafkreieudfi2jhgkrspqhyc7ya4puwzcrpve345xemlmltrxmk3rgshbui)
![McWhorter has posited that anti-racism has become as harmful in the United States as racism itself. McWhorter has criticized the term "microaggression", as well as what he regards as the overly casual conflation of racial bias with white supremacy. As early as December 2018, McWhorter described anti-racism as a "religious movement". McWhorter criticized Robin DiAngelo's 2018 book White Fragility following its resurgence in sales during the George Floyd protests beginning in May 2020, arguing that it "openly infantilized Black people" and "simply dehumanized us", and "does not see fit to address why all of this agonizing soul-searching [for residual racism by white people] is necessary to forging change in society. One might ask just how a people can be poised for making change when they have been taught that pretty much anything they say or think is racist and thus antithetical to the good.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ecfntqgcsbzxk7areifx64tp/bafkreiayeg3usuuevmoftp46vpw4oaagylitb2fvalm32q24d44mc5pzje)
