    what’s your plan for returning power to indigenous people without involving a group that’s currently in power (and therefore predominantly white, since racism exists), without having right wing populists use the power vacuum to seize control?

        again, a group of people that’s been oppressed to the degree native americans have is not in a position to govern a nation like america

        do you deny the oppression that native americans have faced?

            i’m not the one sitting here denying that native americans face and have faced racial abuse at the hands of society

            you’re literally using the right-wing tactic of “you’re acknowledging racism therefore you’re racist”

            My local indian office can barely send out checks, they couldn’t just shoulder all government responsibilities. Stop saying bullshit

                Oh cut the crap. You’ve basically said, “I’ve read the hashtag land back. Why don’t we just saddle Soaring Eagle here with the entire country’s sewage maintenance. They got that old shaman wisdom, they’ll figure it out.” Stop putting problems on others like it’s a gift, indians got enough shit to deal with without your out of touch nonsense.

                    Well I hope you stop saying such patronizing racist slop, I really don’t appreciate natives being used as a petty wedge in internet slap fights. Have some perspective and don’t just attribute magical capabilities to people you obviously know nothing about.
