Continuing the ~~proud~~ American tradition of violating treaties.

The US has become both Nazi Germany and current day Israel.

Can you imagine how stupid and ignorant you have to be to think that a Native American is somehow not a citizen of the land that they have lived in and on for a thousand years or more? Whereas most of these dipshits people haven't been here for more than two hundred years or so. Of course some of them could be degenerate mayflowers.

[–] HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I’ve seen a bunch of white people say that whites are Native American, like you have to be forcefully stupid to believe some of the shit they spin.

Isn't that just Mormonism?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

or some even if they have less than 1% native american ancestry, say they are "native americans. dude, your white asf, you dont even practice or even research thier history.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I've never seen that. In my experience the worst racism comes from those who have some non white heritage. I have seen whites ashamed they had some Native American blood. Like most of my family from two generations back were very ashamed of it. Of course it used to carry a stigma back in the early twentieth century. Its was the family rumor that a couple of my great uncles I never met were responsible for the local county courthouse burning down. All to erase the past by burning all the birth records. You can't look at any of the surviving pictures of my great grandfather on my mothers side without seeing he had a huge amount of native american blood. On my fathers side my grandfather had a year round tan and jet black hair until it fell out that everyone commented on like it was amazing.

I am however extremely Irish in complexion if not all of my facial features. Proof against one my mothers many bigoted remarks. 'You can't mix it white again'. I'm proof that you can.

This is totally onion stuff.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 2 hours ago

Oh the fucking irony.

[–] Jimm@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

This situation is really upsetting tribal leaders in Minnesota are saying ICE has been stopping and detaining Native Americans who are already U.S. citizens, and they’re calling it racial profiling and a violation of treaty rights. Indigenous officials are pointing out that tribal members have been citizens far longer than the United States has even existed, and they don’t fall under immigration enforcement jurisdiction. They’ve made it clear that their citizenship isn’t negotiable and are demanding answers and the release of anyone wrongly held. Many lawmakers and advocates are calling this a civil-rights issue, and it’s sparked serious outrage in the community

"Get the illegals out" is and always was a dog whistle for "get the brown people out"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 5 hours ago

it means get anyone "not white out"

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

If you're American and this is alright with you, you're what the Brits call a cunt.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 5 hours ago

americunts.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

Umm. Some Americans would call those pricks cunts as well.. (how does that one work again?)

I mean, I would.

[–] ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com 60 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

So now the immigrants are claiming the natives are illegal...

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 48 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

They're Nazis. They have a very narrow, and ever narrowing, template for which people deserve to live. Everything except this is beside the point for them, and their words are just there to distract while they ready the machinery of mass extermination. It's clear now that this is the direction they will continue to move in unless they are forcibly stopped.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

It was never about immigration.

[–] allriledup@piefed.blahaj.zone 30 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

i love how the invaders of the native Americans' land are saying that the NA aren't citizens of their own land..... Yup. Makes sense.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 15 points 7 hours ago

Don't forget the fundamental hypocrisy of Trump telling Greenland that ships 500 years ago don't mean they own the land. That is directly related as well, even if it is technically a separate issue.

[–] Osan@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

mfw the US government can perform secret assassinations and kidnapping on foreign soil with high precision, but can't for the love of god distinguish between Latin Americans and Native Americans.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

They're not trying. They want to terrorize both.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Deport them ASAP! Back to their federally recognized tribal lands!!

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 17 points 7 hours ago

These Nazis don't care. The point is to assert white supremacy through terror.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It's horrible obviously, but also yeah, what's the plan there?

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Terrorise brown people. It doesn't matter if they end up being released, they were locked up for 3 weeks, probably beaten up a couple of times - when they're released the jobs been done. For now, until it gets worse. It can always get worse.

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There is no plan other than to hope they get their bonus for capturing "illegals" before it is discovered that they are in fact, Americans.

There's no surplus of smarts in evidence with these morons.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 hours ago

The plan is to start a war so elections can be disputed or suspended, the prison industrial complex investors get rich and people are too desperate trying to restore order, they forget about environmental, health and labor regulations.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Everything becomes negotiable when they are willing to kill you.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

Y'all only got universal citizenship in 1924, so you better believe it's negotiable.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Technically all Latinos ae native to the Americas

[–] MrFinnbean@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Latina america has a heavy influence by Spain, Portuquese and France colonist. So similary like north america, while there are indigenous people, lots of them are decendents of colonizers, so you cant just compare Latinos to Native Americans.
