    History is relevant. Our society was built in a way that benefits white people while oppressing others. It's called systematic racism. Don't tell us to "get over it" while you bask in your white-privilage that you probably aren't even aware of.
    My grandmother was a residential school survivor, she was beaten her whole childhood and had her language taken from her. Would you tell her to get over it?
    That was not "hundreds of years ago". I do not want some sort of financial restitution for what happend. I would just like people to educate themselves, acknowledge the real history of this country, and be compassionate and respectful.
