How can you separate one from the other? History doesn’t just begin and end at the convenience of white supremacists. When did the colonization end, for instance? All the euro-kkkolonizers are still here, they just changed their flag and started sending their taxes to DC instead of London.

These "euro-kkkolonizers" were all several generations ago. Maybe you want to pretend nothing has changed, but things have gotten significantly better since then.

I won't pretend we don't still have problems. People of color are still statistically lower income, and they're still affected by all the same capitalist problems that come with that.

The problem is also not the same across the country. Every state has their own top issues.

Why were slaveowners compensated after the civil war but not slaves? If colonization ended in the USA, was all the stolen land given back to Native Americans? If not, I guess nazism is still very much a thing in this shithole!
