By tribe is what we prefer, and as a collective Indigenous is the acceptable vernacular. Yes, but I actually thought it was funny. Sometimes, we gotta be able to joke around if we are going to really reconcile. Divsion and hate come from being too hard lined imo....but thank you for caring and sticking up for my people. Until Gord Downie started talking about Charlie Wenjack and the Residential School system, I had absolutely no clue I'd been living my life in complete ignorance. Then when the discoveries started happening....that was it. I really made a commitment to learning. Shutting up, listening and learning as much as I can. I have a number of indigenous friends in the Manitoba music world and they are very passionate about sharing their culture and helping idiots like me learn, which I'm trying to do every single day. We can no longer sweep our terrible history under the rug. It all needs to be brought to light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most racism is born out of ignorance and I am proud of my brothers for opening that door for you too.

You mean, that's offensive now?

Fatty Liver Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 "The Spoils of Babylon" is excellent, I've never heard of this series before as it was made in 2014 well before I owned a TV, it stars Tobey Maguire, Kristen Wiig, Tim Robbins, Jessica Alba, Val Kilmer, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Sheen, and Will Ferrell. Completely over the top in all regards. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the old show. Tom Selleck WAS Thomas Magnum. Jay Hernandez wasn't. In the old series, Higgins protected & managed Robin Masters property. He wasn't a woman. He wasn't a love interest for Magnum. He was his foil. Higgins never liked Magnum at first but over the series he begrudgingly respected him & they became friends. Some of the best scenes in the old series was the interaction between them. I tried watching the new series but just couldn't get into it. They would have been better off to have just made another Hawaiian Private Eye series. Selleck wisely stayed away from the new Magnum as he is busy with Blue Bloods.

I could find legit uses for many slurs. Context is everything. That being said, native isn't so much a slur as it is just the incorrect term. I am fine being described as a native but I prefer Indigenous, as it is more accurate. On 6/22/2023 at 1:58 PM, Tracker said: To some, yes, We cannot heal what we will not acknowledge. I have known those were damaged by the residential school system and those whose experience was benign, but thee second were far fewer. Pretending it never happened is the path to it recurring. It's not enough to recognize it happened. Recognizing it happened and that it was wrong, and created severe damage is the path forward.
