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?
That's an excellent question. The native peoples have been shafted so hard throughout American history. Massacres, betrayals, removals from land, disease... it goes on and on.
So, they should be a perfect target for SJW "protection". But SJWs ignores them nearly always. What is your explanation of that paradox?
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.
