Nobody has claimed that the system was 100% abusive, 100% of the time.

That's not the point. The point is that 10's of thousands of children were ripped from their families based purely on racist and religious dogma, with massive damage to their entire culture, to say nothing of the premature and gruesome deaths of some 6000 poor souls.

A posture of atonement is appropriate for our white culture, not cheerleading the abusive system as Beyak attempted to do. She certainly has the right to say those things, but even an unelected person has some accountability... don't they?
