I noticed that when some liberal person enumerate "opressed minorities", Native Americans will be omitted from the list. Even typical MSM articles omit them (f.e. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/23/politics/black-lives-matter-support-impact/index.html - just first article about BLM in search results)
AFAIK from history lessons, natives had much more issues with white people than blacks. Europeans come to their land as uninvited guests and just killed them taking their valuables and lands.
So why SJW omit natives? Is there something I don't know/understand?
not to be negative (my mother is actually a card-holding native american) but they already have government assistance based on their race, they get free land, tax breaks, and in some cases free college (I know the stories of how natives even get the shaft in government programs, my point is that they are there). so maybe this SJW group feels they need to "take care" of the minorities that aren't being given help by the government already, and once they are "handled" they can double back and focus on strengthening their current programs.
Yup this is exactly what I was going to say. One could argue we’ve already received some form of reparations especially when compared to black descendants of slavery. However, I don’t think we’re left out of SJW movements at all.
Thank you for details.
But at the same time, SJWs very agressively protect, say, jews. You can't even mention jews in conversation with SJW without being labeled antisemite, nazi and everything bad. I don't think that jews have less assistance and preferences than natives in US. It will be very interesting to compare the payments to Israel and funding of natives support.
Free land in some pretty shitty places. Have you ever been to reservation land in the southwest? It's sad there.
well they can get free property in reservations, or free land elsewhere (no structures). I'm sure its no better land, re purposed federal land and such, but thats only in those cases of "entirely free" if they were to use their tax breaks, and free college they could land themselves in a respectable job and just do the day to day like the rest of us. also, dont forget oklahoma is literally now halved , with one half being entirely native reservation land.
