World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And? You've heard of the Trail of Tears and the Indian Removal Act, yes? Where do you think the end of that trail was?
We already established I'm from Oklahoma. We learned this as children in the 70s. And yet I have never known an Indian, not one that's remotely close to full-blooded anyway. Loads of tribes ended up there, but they've been genetically (mostly) wiped out.
That's just an ignorant lie.
You're pulling the same "they don't look like Indians to me" racist bullshit that Trump did.
I honestly don't get it. For example, I worked for an "Indian" couple one time. Blonde and blue, pale wife, husband a tribe member by marriage. They got all kinds of benefits and government contract opportunities. Just how much genetic drift will we accept before we say "not Indian"? That's a real question.
But in any case, in Oklahoma for my first 30-years I never met a single person even claiming Indian blood. You seem to have a hard time believing that. I can't even think of someone saying, "I know this Indian guy..."
Dad had cause to believe we had a black relative in the past. Am I black? I'd be laughed out of any given room if I claimed such. So, draw the line.
You're basing the entire native American population on your tiny sample size, you racist fuck. pull your head out your ass.
I'm stating my experiences, and oh boy are you mad about it.
"Despite being from Oklahoma, I've never known an American Indian."
"Racist filth!!!"
I suspect you're like the girl I ran into on Bluesky claiming to trace her Indian heritage back over 800 years.
"How can trace that back to people who didn't have a writing system? Most remaining royalty on the planet gets real fuzzy over that time span."
You're one of those blond, blue 1/256th "Indians" aren't you? No other way to explain your anger at such a simple conversation.
I don't have a drop of Indian blood in me as far as I know. I'm calling you a racist for trying to act like people with a lot of Indian blood can't still look white.
