“At the very same time that the government refused to give the Negro any land, through an act of Congress our Government was giving away millions of acres of land in the west and the midwest, which meant it was willing to undergird its white peasants from Europe with an economic floor," Dr Martin Luther King

“ The Indian Removal Act was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson. The law authorized the president to negotiate with southern Native American tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for white settlement of their ancestral lands.”

Thread about to be terrible

Incoming angry yakubians!!

This s*** too confusing for me lmao

I thought natives were the descendants of ancient siberian/Mongolian hunters

“Wait, so America was built on the backs of Black people?”
“... Always has been”.

There were black people amongst American Indians but not every American Indian was black

Just like a lot of other native groups had black people in them

It's a fact that is often ignored

so they can say n word now?

Yea. Just like there’s light skins now, they were lightskins back then..then u had some that assimilated & had kids. The originals were DARKSKIN tho, just like every aboriginal on the planet

This is true

I'm not sure about this honestly

You got any sources that say ALL of them were black before white people invaded their lands?

That’s not what I said. I said the originals were darkskin. I’m not gonna debate this either. Research it if u care

What does that mean though.. I'm just asking questions here because you created this thread, you should expect questions lmao

What do you mean when you say the originals? Like the first ones that got there thousands of years ago?

Imma just wait for the usual offenders

I don’t think dark skin = black

Native Americans are a broad group of people don't think singling em all into "black" would be right.

This too

waiting for the angry yakubians to show up itt

Yakubian sounds like a yugioh monster

Thread got me thinking how great itd be to have a native american president

You wouldnt be able to tell them nothing!!!

That’s why it’s in quotes. Black is a color in a crayon box, not a nation or bloodline. The census misclassified melanated people as “black”, “colored”, “mullato”

dark skin
