Give It Back
If you steal something, and you admit it, shouldn't you have to give it back?
Former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett kicked off the groundbreaking ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on Thursday with a land acknowledgment, citing the Native American tribes historically rooted to the site.
Jarrett told attendees that organizers wished to “take a moment to recognize the original inhabitants of the land upon which we are gathered today,” listing the Native American tribes historically connected to the site.
[...] Land acknowledgments have fast become standard practice across universities, government offices, and cultural events. Yet the custom increasingly faces sharp pushback, even from within Native communities. Indigenous scholars and activists frequently dismiss the statements as empty “performative” gestures that offer public relations points for diversity while providing zero tangible benefits or real land back to tribal nations.
That's why you never admit to ever getting an early duck or a padded slip - you're going to get nailed for it one day.
By the way, as the Sparklefart Foundation continues to stiff dozens of minority contractors for work done on the "center," Valerie has been drawing her $740,000 annual Foundation salary with no hiccups reported.
Funny how that works out.

Send her back to Iran. Send him back to Hawaii. Chicago would be better off.
Foundations are the biggest scam. Hide money using the tax code, while paying yourself or family or friends huge salaries under the guise of charitable work. Joyce Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Clinton Foundation, Gates Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Tides Foundation, Resist Foundation, Obama Foundation the list is practically endless. Some foundations do charitable works, while others are fronts to funnel money from individuals, businesses and other foundations to organizations that serve radical agendas.
They robbed the public land from the park.
On the AM560 Morning Answer radio podcast with Dan Proft, Fri 19 Jun 26, there is segment at 01:28:01 where an Illinois plumbing contractor called in and discussed how he was stiffed out of four million dollars for work done on the center. The contractor gave his name and company. Another caller related that on the top floor of the center there is a luxury 3 bedroom condo.
since they get to keep the land, they stole from the Indians and the taxpayers how about we just call that reparations?
Another do nothing wretch
My watch commander in the 024th District always begins roll call with a land acknowledgment. He says, "Let's remember that this site was once occupied by the Chicago Surface Lines Devon Carbarn."
Has anyone asked him/her who the Chicago Surface Lines stole the land from?
Ms Jarrett could have mentioned how a lake front park was stolen from the citizens of Chicago. Manhattan sold for some beads. Jackson Park sold for pocket change. Vast wastelands.in Chicago in desperate need of investment instead they steal lakefront property to build an ugly building that fails to take advantage of the location. Instead of investment you see firms on the verge of bankruptcy and citizens on the hook to keep the monstrous project going
The democratic party is a criminal organization. The republican party isn’t much better, being infested with RINO’s who wear a red jersey but secretly work for the blue team.
Getting up there, and CRS a lot these days. Is this the same Jarrett who has a stake in the Rosemont Casino? Or the Jarrett whose daughter had a wedding here that CPD provided lots of security for? That’s a mighty lucrative pay to run a “library”.
Amazing how participants in gangster government never ever show up. Stinking up a car trunk.
$2,000 bucks a day. All in a days hard work.
AKA, street cars
Isn't it like they're rubbing it in the noses of the Indians? Just gotta keep picking at that scab. Sorta like ".. we acknowledge that we fucked you outta your land and we're gonna do whatever we want with it...SO FUCK OFF" . It's never followed by a statement like " since we acknowledge that we've fucked you out of your land WE'RE MAKING A MILLION DOLLAR DONATION TO THE NATIVE AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND". Or some similar charity for the Indians...THEY NEVER ADD THAT PART DO THEY?
They are illegally on Indian land reparations what are they talking about? Pay the Indians the trillions of dollars for stolen land

I can confirm. Been up there, Michelles bathroom is one of the nicest I have ever seen, almost spa like. And Barry has his own too but way smaller.
Google search on a couch in there was 8500 bucks.
At every U of I graduation a statement is read acknowledging that the U of I sits on land that was stolen from Native Americans who if memory is correct just moved with the seasons.
Valerie Jarrett - the Daley Machine "grift" that keeps grifting, from Chicago, to DC, to back to Chicago, sucking at the taxpayers expense. Did Ms. Valerie, the Iranist apologist-agent, ever thank Chicagoans for giving-away Park District land to this Obama monument to hubris, nor for underwriting the $500 million in cost overruns and hidden costs imposed upon us Chicago taxpayers? No, of course, Ms. Valerie, CEO of the largest Chicago slumlord, thinks we're mere suckers.
Of certain interest, Tina Brown, British expat and former chief editor of Vanity Fair, the progressive-liberal People magazine, wrote a stunning rebuttal to Obama regarding his Darth Vader monument and his meager achievement as "Hope" president. Stunning, because she once was a chief cheerleader for Sparklefarts.
Funny how the progressive-liberals continue to stiff the working-class black and brown peoples. Ask the cleaning ladies, the car hops, and the landscapers working for the likes of Valerie Jarrett and the Obamas. Ask the former Obama chef --- oops, you cant, he dead.
Huh?
New meaning to the term “dine and dash”. The Obammy crowd is now the “build and dash” group.
Virtue selfies, with even a real live native dance troupe. The only thing missing were the colorful Stolen Lands awareness participation bracelets for attendees.
I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the people and folks whose land was stolen at the site of the Obama monstrosity. Including, but not solely, the Gangster Disciples, Black P. Stones, and Black Disciples.
What watch? With a Lt like that I have to work for him.
Apparently you do not understand how construction contracts work....the GENERAL CONTRACTOR, who has been paid, is responsible for paying the SUB CONTRACTORS....The Obama Foundation has fulfilled its financial responsibility by paying the General Contractor.
How the hell do they know Indians were the "original inhabitants" when Indians weren't smart enough to have a written language? Archeological evidence suggests that Europeans was here long before the redskins.
Laura's mom certainly reaped the rewards for being connected.
Stupid comment
Epic virtue signaling like only the dirty democrats can do.
Haha, that’s good! Yea in the old 020 I used to pull in there to get off the street.
Just for kicks and giggles, send them both back to Iran. The entire US would be better off.

What, the Jeffery Epstein Memorial Suite? A-listers, make advance reservations for a glittering evening of cocktails and conversation overlooking the stolen park.
Brandumb is going hard on for reparations, but this monument to socialist ideology stands on stolen lands. Maybe when it goes belly up they can give it back to the real Native Chicagoans.

stupid is as stupid does
We should all dress in Indian attire and protest we want our land back...
Hmm...decendants of Jean Baptiste du Sable should look into the ownership of that piece of real estate....
Sure they have
Get your weight up so you can play the game too
Everything but "street cars" in 024
Thats exactly how and why Pfat Phil Cline started his police foundation. Rumor has it that he was pulling down 160-200K a year along with his pension. This scam is going on all over. Be careful who you donate to.
Not if they havent covered all of the costs in payments. This was a pyramid scheme from the beginning.
I think Adam and Eve establishes who was here first.
"I can confirm. Been up there, Michelles bathroom is one of the nicest I have ever seen, almost spa like."
Does the urinal have gold-plated fixtures?
So Obama is a colonizer
I bet 0bozo has a safe room in that monstrosity for when the white hats come to arrest him for treason and sedition.
