Our sources tell us that Trump is plotting an executive order to officially declare white people as ‘Native Americans’ and rebrand actual Native Americans as ‘Northern Mexicans.’ #ManifestDestiny2.0
True but that's the difference between the pilgrims and settlers that conquered the land and country, starting a new country; and our government preventing our country from being conquered, invaded and restoring the ideas of citizenship and sovereignty that the Constitution was built on.
Our ancestors were conquerors. So restoring the concept of citizenship is a big deal. Does anyone disagree with deporting illegal aliens in this order; crminials, ones already with deportation orders and those receiving govt assistance?
History is ugly. Part of the reason we are a nation now is because of both good and bad events. Most of our most valuable technology is because of Americans
So border control & associated immigration raids in USA are not legitimate.
Is this is also the case for ALL OTHER borders and associated immigration raids? E.g. Is it legitimate when Costa Rica and Burundi enforce border controls and conduct associated immigration raids? Is USA different?
The U.S. government authorized over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians, the most of any country in the world against its Indigenous people. Bt the late 19th century, fewer than 238,000 Indigenous people remained, from estimated 5-15M before European arrived.
Riiiiiight....because the Indians didnt rape, burn, loot, and pillage their fellow Indians in brutal displays of genocide and power before we got here....they were spending all their time making dandelion bracelets in the meadows.....laughable.
Nobody said that, but here's a question, if native Americans are "natives" what makes the founding fathers? IMMIGRANTS! Imagine being so contrarian you miss the point. The fact that THE nation of immigrants, made by immigrants, is so anti immigrant is mind boggling. Pick up a book
Look what happened; remember, do not take the blankets or sign any treaties.
Unfortunately the power system in this world only recognises aggression and war, that is how the colonisers became owners of this land. It's not right, but mite.
Never forget American society is based on the genocide of indigenous people. This was conducted under a deliberate and aggressively violent program supported by the government of the day. They sought no settlement other than driving them to poor land. USA society suffers from cognitive dissonance.
No. Starting meaningful reparations process and a national dialogue to embed and recognise that this is a wrong that needs righted so that the wounds in such a society can heal. Reservations and the remnants of Jim Crow legislation by mass incarceration and economic impoverishment of blacks is wrong
Am I supposed to pay for things I didn't do, my father didn't do, his father didn't do, and possibly his father who didn't even live on this continent do?
Just want to understand who is responsible. Just giving money away solves nothing.
I think given that if you live in the US you will be within touching distance of a family member who can remember Whites only restrooms and bus seats and that in your lifetime more blacks have been jailed in the US than any other population by % there is a case to only go that far back.
My friends mother who grew up in the south is the closest person that I personally know of. She did grow up segregated, but also told us that many folks were friends and got along fine (black and white) as she was a child then.
Nah. If these were OK, modern ones would be too. The ugly truth is whenever someone wanders into someone else's land and uses/takes resources, there can be conflict.
WHAT'S IS SAD IS THAT WHAT THESE FOLKS PERPETRADED AGAINST THE "REAL OWNERS OF THESE LANDS."
IS BEING ONCE AGAIN IN FULL FORCE BEING PERPETRADED UPON THOSE LOOKING FOR REFUGE.

2024 and still crying about being defeated and taken over.
Similar stories worldwide. But America is the worst country in history??
You people are a joke!!
Let's go ALL THE WAY BACK TO JESUS AND GET REPARATIONS FOR WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM!
WHERE DOES IT STOP? WHY START IN USA??
YOUR POINT IS GARBAGE!!
Colonization and immigration aren't the same thing and, as an Indigenous person, this kind of logic gives credence to the notion that immigrants come to inflict harm on people the way colonists did to Indigenous North Americans.
White people were the original illegal migrants. It’s so ironic the fact that they would complain about people of color replacing them when this country was not even originally white to begin with.
and we still havent learned, its better to assimilate and bolster the best of both worlds, now we face hate and ignorance again, when will people learn
Tell that to all these black communities where they have homeless on the streets, can’t get health care, their schools taken over to house immigrants and pay them welfare. These cities take from the community and give to illegals immigrants - they are NOT happy. Watch a city council meeting in⤵️
⏩️ in Chicago, NY, Detroit, and big city and you will see residents that are all for Trumps policies. Not to mention the Spanish neighborhoods where gangs have taken over - Anyone who thinks letting 11 million illegal unvetted immigrants i and then shuttle them all around the country is not bright
On par with Defund The Police.
Native Indian tribes slaughtered, tortured, raped, enslaved….
Stop putting them on a spiritual pedestal.
If we don’t stop this nonsense, and reconnect with the majority working class, Rep populism/fascism is going to take over.
Not bc they care, but bc they connect.
Just imagine if Europeans didn't get to America, what would it be like now, might not be a wasteland but it wouldn't be the best country n the world. plus, if Europeans wouldn't have done it, Someone else would have
If Europeans never came, you wouldn't be here posting, America wouldn't exist, even Canada wouldn't, Look who is Closest Geographically to America, Russia, it's sad what happened to natives, but look at what they gained, great inventions, medicines, technology, electricity, vehicles, planes, travel
Listen, why are you bothered by this, do you get up every day trying to figure out what to get angry about next, i can't even believe this is triggering you so bad, this happened way in the past, it's bad what happened, but this kind of thing happened all around the world, but we are living in 2024.
Well, this all started because you specifically wanted us to imagine what could have happened differently in the past. It sounds like you didn't like what you asked for and are now trying to deflect.
You worry about what happened way in the past, we wasn't even alive then, none of us was, it's got nothing to do with us, so there is no one alive today that is to blame, it is what it is, you can't rewind time and fix it. it's done. try and worry about the now, Just be happy. or try.
Tell me where is better ? what country have you been to that is better ? what's really deluded is, that you hate the country but still live here, would you live with someone you didn't like or would you move out ? why are you still here if you hate it so much ?
Deluded again. I would NEVER live in America. I spent 8 months there during the 3rd Yr of my degree. N.Orleans before Katrina. But what I really hate about USA is their self-appointed status as policemen of the world, removing democratically appointed leaders who won't bend the knee. & u buy in.
Now That ! i do agree with, but so do most Americans, they don't agree with it, and don't want to be a part of it. all of the people i know feel that way. it's like russia, most of the people there don't want wars, same as Ukraine, but the ordinary people always get dragged in to rich mans wars

They tried and failed to expel the Europeans. Who did not steal the land from the Natives - they won it.
So it's right that the U.S. fight these current invaders the way that the First Nations fought the Europeans.

Sure. And Stalin, and Mao. But, actually?
I'd go farther back. I'd bring a history book to the Wampanoag tribe.
Let's see how week those Puritan's do, when no one helps them. They won't even have to be violent - just - withhold aid.

Not bc they care, but bc they connect.
And who, exactly, would have done it if not the Europeans? The whole point was that they were in by far the best geographic position to do so.
What portion of the Native Americans around when colonists arrived got which benefits?
The best country in the...
Wahhahahahaaa.
So deluded.
