The beginning of this conversation was very frustrating. I wanted to talk about the pros and cons of having a monarchy and why we tolerate monarchies in this day and age. The conversation was derailed by two white women (Hotmama & Shannon) claiming Native Americans and Aborigines have it so good. Nothing gets my goat more than when a middle-class person in a privileged class speaks on how well a marginalized group has it.
