ramdaughter: bearmagus: dwarvenqueen: narputo: Oh my god… friendly reminder that native americans actually suffer more police brutality & police murders than any other ethnicity friendly reminder that we got our right to vote after black ppl did friendly reminder that up until the 19-fucking-90’s our women would have their tubes forcibly tied by doctors after they gave birth, as a way to get rid of us Friendly reminder that most of our sacred sites have been polluted by mining, illegal dumping, or radiation. AND EVEN MORE OF THEM HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM US friendly reminder that there is less than one percent of us left here. Friendly reminder that even up here in Canada, there are mass amounts of First Nations women vanishing. Racism against natives is still alive and well. Residential schools were in operation until 1996. This is not just an American problem. i’m really glad that dwarvenqueen deactivated because as important as this topic is, it’s never appropriate to use black people as a bench mark for racial trauma. in fact doing so is immensely anti-black and erases the existence of black indigenous people. i want everyone who sees this post to keep that in mind. i would also like to add that in Canada the marginalization of indigenous and black people is very closely linked. both groups have been subject to slave labour, police brutality, eugenics, environmental racism, and other legacies of settler colonialism. we do not need to oppose each other to fight for visibility, because there is a shared suffering here and canada’s violent colonial history is fully to blame. -- source link
