Okay, let's put aside the fact that the last of those genocidal schools ended in 1978. Yes. Less than fifty years ago, the US government was still committing active genocide against indigenous Americans. Refer to this document and scroll down to point 5: https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/249815.pdf This source is a great example of the sort of violence pretty much every indigenous American group faces across both the USA and Canada. This is not even mentioning what happens to them in Central and South America; the current leader of Brazil is a fucking genocidal lunatic and he is quite open about it. To this day the US government and various corporations continue to create new violations of the already grossly violated treaties formed with the tribal nations. I would have expected that the outright mixed reaction to the discovery of mass graves of children in Canada prompting calls to look for the same in the USA would have woken you up to the fact that US institutions were brutalizing little children up until 1978... and have been sitting on evidence of doing so ever since to avoid the consequences, and DO NOT want people going to look for it. There's nothing equitable about any of this. God, this isn't even going into local stuff. The destruction of rivers on tribal land, the constant abductions of indigenous women... in the town where I used to live, currently run by a Q-anon mayor, the local government is blocking the local tribe from building an important social service center on property that THE TRIBE OWNS and, yes, they are using racist conspiracy theories to justify doing so. That's just a tiny glimpse of the absolute bullshit they have to put up with every day, and yes, it IS racially motivated. The US government still wants that land, and racists still want to brutalize indigenous people with impunity (and there are laws and supreme court rulings on the books TODAY that help them get away with doing so). Edit: It's worth pointing out that the Violence Against Women Act actually has sections that are supposed to help mitigate some of those aforementioned rulings (and yes, that means that the people who do not vote to renew the Violence Against Women Act are literally pushing to allow for more legal immunity to non-indigenous rapists of indigenous people) but it is hideously insufficient. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I would prefer that most people don't show me their genitals. I'm not looking to do anything with them. From the description it doesn't sound like I would find this person physically attractive. Their sex is irrelevant. Thank you very much for illustrating my point for me. You are not interested in the topic at hand; you just care about talking points peddled to you from ideologues. You aren't asking questions to learn- you're asking questions in the hopes that someone will have some sort of "hole" that you can insert some hack's snarky one-liner into, and when you don't find any, you just disengage and wave it off with a sort of limp-wristed one-liner.
