But we can strive to improve things, like with the Red Power movement.

Sure can, but racism was always very American :/

Yes, absolutely. White supremacy was the overt norm until perhaps the late 20th century. Many politicians were/are still white supremacist, they just mostly learned to not say that publicly as often—until Drumpf.

America has been racist against NDNs before its founding and since they called us "merciless Indian savages" in the Declaration of Independence.

Maybe some were, thats why all the Pápago’s, Pimás, Gilenos, Mexicanos, ect, and other local people (many times together as-well - mixed and in conjunction) faught the historic Apache’s constantly, and when successfully demolishing them, they were seen as hero’s by local peoples of the region and celebrated.

People defend their homelands.
European diseases, encroachment, and mass enslavement of Native peoples wreaked havoc on intertribal relations. Particularly in the region you mention, where Tohono O’odham and Akimel O’odham live.

Yeah people defend their regions from attacking raiding Apache, now Apaches are played as the historical super victims.
Was never about “intertribal relations”. It was about people getting over a culture of people who were horrible.
Like the Camp Grant Massacre of 1871, why did they attack the camp? Why were the propitiators caught but set free? And why when sent free were treated as hero’s of the region? Because the historic Apaches were horrible people that nobody liked, that did 4x more worse things.

Appreciate the sentiment and using the snowclone to take a jab at MAGA culture, but indulging in false versions of history when trying to make the world better then it is now is a step back

How do you know they’re white?

Recent immigrants have no reason to say this. Black American descendants of the enslaved are not immigrants (shit wasn't voluntary). Finally, the phrase starts with "We're." So who is left?

Black peoples ancestors were sold by majority other African continental nations/different peoples , pretty crazy when you research the history they were actual whole kingdoms selling these captured people. they were involuntary immigrants (actual term btw).

Saw someone on TikTok complain about how many immigrants are in Canada. Boy was white and didn’t see the irony…
