I agree with all this but I feel like Americans are the last people who should lead such a movement. To so many of us, the ones your country has raped and destroyed without apology, i roll my eyes at Americans calling for the end of colonization, genocides and war. It’s like you guys think if you go hard on this war, it will forgive all the centuries of genocide. My people were treated like refuse by Americans for decades, then without apology or reparations , white American kids are now preaching at my indigenous ass about privilege and genocide.
You can’t even call out the hypocrisy or you get hated on. I’ve never experienced as much hate and racism towards my culture from the left, as I have this past 2 years. You expect that shit from the right, but the American left went insane this cycle too
The people that treated your people like refuse are not the same people as the ones protesting against atrocities.
Lumping a whole population together and stereotyping them is wrong, no matter who you're targeting with your stereotypes.
How convenient. You get the enjoy the benefits with none of the guilt, and you can still moralize to the colonized
That being said their point is America shouldn't lead this charge and IMO that's fair given America's support of Israel.
It certainly gets complicated when America is such a melting pot, and it’s consistently the white overlords who engineer those atrocities.
And yes, many, but not all, of the white underlings choose to give them their full support. As a white underling throwing them the middle finger, I have no idea why.
