Calling someone an “apple” is meant to hurt an indigenous person. Red on the outside, white on the inside. Kind of like calling a POC an “Oreo”.
It’s meant to intimidate me and the other indigenous people questioning the CPC SNC narrative.
And threatening racial ostracization as intimidation just helps me and other indigenous people demonstrate to mainstream Canadians that our instincts are dead on.
Don’t you dare use settler guilt to induce shame and withdrawal from the conversation. Many, if not most, progressive settlers support reconciliation.
You’re the one trolling to create division to make that unlikely or impossible.
Why?
This is someone using ugly threats and accusations to silence voices.
This is someone trying to shame others into submission and to stop challenging the narrative.
Consider yourself warned.
Intimidation attempts will continue.
Ignore them.
