    So you’re saying they’re not up to the task unless some [white majority party] supports them?

    So again I say, YIKES

      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

        Yeah so weird that you support white saviorism instead of returning control to indigenous groups.

        It’s almost like you’re a liberal centrist.

          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?

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

            Racist.

              again, a group of people that’s been oppressed to the degree native americans have is not in a position to govern a nation like america

              do you deny the oppression that native americans have faced?

                  i’m not the one sitting here denying that native americans face and have faced racial abuse at the hands of society

                  you’re literally using the right-wing tactic of “you’re acknowledging racism therefore you’re racist”

                    No, you’re being racist because you’re making demeaning blanket statements about Native people
