Not even gonna go the slavery route. Lets talk about after slavery. Segregation, Jim Crowe, Police Brutality including: Rodney King, Emmett Till, George Floyd, then we got systematic racism, Groups creates with sole purpose of killing and beating poc.

It is OBJECTIVELY untrue to claim that black people are the most oppressed in American history.

jesus h christ it’s not the goddamn pain olympics people. there are different forms of oppression applied in different ways to a whole slew of minority groups. splitting hairs like this only works to fracture alliances and ignore intersectionality. several groups could go blow for blow with the injustices that have been waged against them throughout their history and continue to this day. playing the who has it worse game only serves the people that keep us down

It is to this day still legal to rape native Americans. Can you find anywhere in the country where that is true of black people? Also what about things like church rock, the worst nuclear disaster in American history that you probably haven’t even heard about because all the victims were Navajo so nobody ever felt like reporting on it.

When was the last time you heard someone like Jasmine Crockett, Barack Obama, or Kamala Harris talk about Native American issues? They will talk about problems black America faces. They will talk about problems poor Americans face. They will talk about problems women in America face. But even the most radical intersectionalist you know has ignored the native Americans. That is why it has to be called out.

Because theyre not oppressed like black people are what. Yes they have some but not to the extent that cops would kill you for no reason and it has happened. What group can you name is soley based on keeping nattive americans in submission.

erasure is one of many forms of oppression, most people in the US are taught that most Indigenous people only exist in the past and that’s internalized. that said there’s an entire decolonization movement and people who *are* working to bring issues like this to light

Indigenous issues are also typically associated with capitalist issues which will *always* be oppressed
