So because I eat a meal on a traditional holiday, I'm oppressing native americans?

IMO, theyve been beaten down so long, they aren't able now to change their story and change things.

It wouldn't play. Tell me what it says, about how thanksgiving is oppressing Native Americans.

A myth was created around thanksgiving that reduced the native Americans down to a bunch of stereotypes and minimalized their suffering. You really need to watch the video for a good view. literally google "some more news" it will be the latest video on the channel.

It doesn't do that. People just get together with family and have a meal. Its not oppressing anyone.

Again, for the upteenth time, it isn't the meal or getting together with family that is bad. In fact that is very good. Watch. The. Video.

Well I can already tell what's in the video by the subtitle that says "Your government is invalid" so I'm guessing the video includes a bunch of anti-American propaganda that promotes dismantling American democracy, the constitution, and western civilization in general.

I mean, I already told you part of it. You could have watched the video in the time you have taken for this. I posted the video, specifically because he does a better job of explaining it than I can.

That's not the video that is my avatar and it relates to the Arab Spring, not America.

I should have really guessed there was no genuine interest in actually learning about systemic racism in this thread. Just a bunch of fallacies and refusals to look at the dark parts of our nations past. If you want to know why we can't move on from it, this is why. You have to admit that there is pr

Uh, no, it is completely the opposite. It is encouraging redressing past grievances against native people instead of ignoring them.

But I'm guessing you never had any actual interest in systemic racism. Just strawmen and ignoring the past.
