A gentle reminder that the “last lynchings” were between 1981-1991, so
it’s less than 40. The CRA act was passed 54 years ago. Not enough
people want to hear or remember that.
y’all should remember that lynching is the extralegal murder for an alleged offense without a legal trial. Of course these cases of people dying at the hands of police is a lynching.
and they honestly deserve it WITHOUT having to relocate themselves, their family, and their WHOLE community.
Or neglecting part of their identity or culture
Or being judged for taking money or resources they are already owed.

And it’s not just food either, many Native Americans lack access to what many non-natives consider basic amenities: Feminine hygiene products (1) , electricity (3), clean water and plumbing (4,5) , basic healthcare (2), to which even then many Natives are treated poorly or even denied treatment on the few hospitals nearby (6)
This doesn’t even highlight all of the ethical problems and injustices we face.
Here’s that sign telling Natives not to ask for anesthetics, found in Miramichi, New Brunswick. People are afraid that we’ll get “addicted” to them, hah.

And we still see this shit play out. And still –STILL– we have white racists looking at the test scores of discouraged and deprived black kids and saying they‘re genetically inferior. So don’t listen to anybody saying electing President Obama ended racism.
hell, this trend was observed in ancient rome, concerning slavery, which in rome wasn’t a division of color, but caste. i wish i could remember where i saw it so i could quote it, because my memory is really vague, but one of those historian guys observed that slaves captured in war were smart and spirited, but their captive-born children were dull, and suggested it was the captivity rather than the ancestry that caused it.
