Unfortunately, it needs an even longer version that changes it to for now, as Oklahoma is doing everything they can to remove tribal sovereignty.
Governor Stitt’s family paid their way into Cherokee rolls. He’s a grade A shit bag, he’s even joked about it in public.
Teleports behind your last bit of land
On the subject of Oklahoma, after they said that the Native Americans could keep it, they pulled a 180 and decided Americans could settle there. There were 2 major populations, the Boomers, who moved in when they were supposed to and settled in a big wave, and the Sooners, who moved in before they were allowed to and were already settled in the best spots when the Boomers arrived. To commemorate one of our most ethical moments of western colonization, the University of Oklahoma decided to name their mascot the Sooner. So there ya have it, thr official mascot of UO is the people who illegally moved into Native American that we promised would be theirs forever.
Indian Removal Act
A Mr.Andrew Jackson acting as president of the United States of America signed this nasty piece of work that ensured all First Nations peoples living west of the river Mississippi could legally (and thus cooly) have their land stolen and deported to either the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) or Kansas. This was one part in a long, slow, painful genocide.
All of the defendants were acquitted by an all-white jury. In 1984, nine Klansmen and Nazis were acquitted in a federal civil trial, again by an all-white jury, although during the grand jury proceedings that led to the second trial, one Klansmen had pleaded guilty to firing the first shot.[4] The second trial jury accepted the defense argument that the assaults by the defendants were not based on racial animus, but on hatred of communism
In 2009, the Greensboro City Council passed a resolution expressing regret for the deaths in the march. In 2015, the city unveiled a marker to memorialize the Greensboro Massacre. On August 15, 2017 and again on October 6, 2020, the Greensboro City Council formally apologized to the victims for the massacre.
I guess, it is okay then
And this is what most of the world sees for the US (other places too of course) and that makes how the US and the majority of its citizens behave so disgusting; putting the US flag on fucking everything and wearing it with pride, the patriotism, how they behave towards foreigners to this day, how the whole school system brainwashes everyone etc. It’s extremely fucked up.
You have nothing to be patriotic and proud of compared to all the shit that your whole country is built on and stands for.

When you do everything ‘right’, and it still only take a populist demagogue to whip up the racists into an opportunistic frenzy to commit ethnic cleansing.
Examples of such colonial attributes adopted by these five tribes included Christianity, centralized governments, literacy, market participation, written constitutions, intermarriage with White Americans, and chattel slavery practices, including purchase of enslaved Black Americans.[5][6] For a period, the Five Civilized Tribes tended to maintain stable political relations with the White population. However, White encroachment continued and eventually led to the removal of these tribes from the Southeast, most prominently along the Trail of Tears.
Yeap… It’s how some of my family ended up in Oklahoma. My dad’s side of the family were some of the early founders of the Moravian church in the US. They got kicked out of Georgia for being too friendly with the natives and attempting to sneak slaves away to attend their sermons.
John Brown once, on the frontier, was asked to help his neighbors drive off Natives so his ‘fellow’ whites could take their land.
John Brown answered, with characteristic fury, that he would sooner drive off white men who thought like that than raise a hand against Native folk who had done nothing wrong.
Your ancestors are in good company. Would that more of the US were like them, and not what we ended up with.
The Moravian church was kind of radical, I’m not religious but imo it’s the closest thing to actual Christianity we’ve ever gotten. Overseas b there were Moravian church members who would sell themselves into slavery so they could preach to other slaves.
Before some of my family were sent off with the Cherokee on the trail of tears, half of them went up north to Pennsylvania and Ohio and were killed in the Gnadenhutten massacre during the revolutionary war. The survivors fled to Canada and would later be attacked after the battle of the Thames by the US cavalry expedition that killed Tecumseh during the war of 1812.
Britains doin’ conquest to rebel against the conquesting Britains.
To be fair to the OG Anglo-Saxon migrants to North America, every other European community that ‘established’ themselves outside of Europe did the same thing… The Western and Eastern European settlers are still doing the same in the West Bank/the Levant today!
how is that “fair”?
Don’t you know? It’s okay to commit genocide so long as someone else does it first
As in “don’t disapprove of Anglo-Saxon in particular as if other Westerners haven’t moved in the same way throughout millennia”. I was being cheeky, lol.
i mean yea, colonialism
wasis a pan-european crime, i don’t think anyone was saying the contrary
Translate to their language so they understand: Go back to your country!
