Ben & Jerry’s says that the United States was built on stolen indigenous land and that it should be returned.
The iconic ice cream company made this statement on July 4th across social media platforms and its own website. This was an obvious response to Independence Day. There are groups of people across the nation who refuse to celebrate July 4th because of the subjugation of native and black Americans. There is just one small problem with Ben & Jerry’s message.
Their own headquarters sits on “stolen” land in Vermont. Shortly after their social media post, a Native tribe with historic roots in that area of Vermont called for the ice cream giant to return the land to them. Ben & Jerry’s has yet to respond
In every Ted Turner “Indian” movie I ever saw, one of the chiefs always said man cannot own the Earth. What’s it going to be? Which is it? Aren’t Indians men?
Ben & Jerry are liberals, and hypocrites, but I repeat myself.
Their ice cream is excellent, but there are other brands that are just as good, Talenti & Haagen Dazs to name two (and yeah, I know Talenti is technically gelato).
Give land that we have died to make useful for all mankind back to some disorganized bunch of savages that would just as soon have my scalp hanging from his belt?
I dont think so.
Liberals and all their stinking ideas can go to hell.
We have a couple of social media kiddies right here at FR.
The tribes stole the lands and hunting grounds from other tribes before the “White Man” came on the scene. We can not erase the sins of the past with any silly gestures now—Its a bit like Reparations. As Irish—I want England to pay me money for all the crap they did to my people. Will we get a centavo? Nope. What about Italy paying all the people ruled by Rome? How about Payment from southern states for my people they killed in the Civil War. Hey! Japan is rich—why not ever American family gets a free toyta car? No-it gets really silly fast.
The Indians should get the FBI and IRS SWAT Teams and do a Presidential eviction raid.
“Shortly after their social media post, a Native tribe with historic roots in that area of Vermont called for the ice cream giant to return the land to them.”
LOL! Good for them.
The Indians should burn that place down with flaming arrows
Ben and Jerry sell monkey turd ice cream
Libtards love the chunks
A native Indian tribe is taking the Ben and Jerry BS artists at their word. The tribe is laying claim to the land that Ben and Jerry’s is housed on. How about those cajones?
Wonder if any late-night talk shows, or those cows on The View, will mention this? /sarc
““Stolen” Land Should Be Returned To Natives”
When stolen elections are returned to the real winners! Trump won, Biden lost.
This guy is a nothingburger.
