because acknowledging that the native american population has been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries isn’t anti-indigenous? because acknowledging that the native american population is a victim of systemic and at times systematic racism isn’t anti-indigenous?
unless you would deny that they’ve been beaten down by the state repeatedly and for centuries?
super weird that the abused aren’t in a position of power, and that the abusers are
yeah, the party in power is majority white, and yeah that’s because of historic racism, but that doesn’t change the scenario that we’re both looking at
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?
Why is it weird? Explain objectively, without appealing to the norms of the US system.

Yes, they have. And therefore should be re-empowered ASAP. It is YOU who appears to be arguing that they are not up to the task, not me.
i’m saying they’re not up to the task without significant support from some hypothetical party backing them up
i don’t know what party you’d put in that position if not the current government, and at that point it seems like we’re back to the start, no?
So you’re saying they’re not up to the task unless some [white majority party] supports them?
So again I say, YIKES

Yeah so weird that you support white saviorism instead of returning control to indigenous groups.
It’s almost like you’re a liberal centrist.

Just return it now. You think only white people are good enough to save them?
Racist.
