Ben & Jerry’s Called Out After Saying “Stolen” Land Should Be Returned To Natives

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

🎶The time has come
to say fair’s fair
To pay the rent,
to pay our share
The time has come,
a fact’s a fact
It belongs to them,
we're gonna give it back🎶PFFFFT!

Finger pointing and virtue signaling is all 💩s and giggles until someone calls them out on their BS. Especially a member of a "group" they pretend to care about. They can come out with new flavors to show they're down with the struggle, how about Stolen Lands Strawberry Swirl? Or Trail of Tears Tutti Frutti? Wounded Knee Walnut Fudge? Better yet put their $$$ where their big mouths are and give away their corp hdqtrs and plants to the local Natives

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.

The social media kiddies at these woke companies aren't bright enough to think things through.

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.

It is not "stolen" land, it is CONQUERED land.

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?

““Stolen” Land Should Be Returned To Natives”

When stolen elections are returned to the real winners! Trump won, Biden lost.

Ben & Jerry need to return all the milk they have stolen from cows
over the years to make their ice cream.
