I bought myself a house, after 4 months of work (and waiting out my apt lease) I moved in, slept my 1st night in it. When I was a boy in foster care I used to think before sleep, “someday I’ll have my very own house and nobody will tell me I have to leave”. Now that is true. 🏡

White people loot all the time; have been for hundreds of years, only they call it ‘discovering’ or ‘protecting artifacts’. Sometimes they even charge you to see what they stole.
