I’m very curious about what you would like to see happen.
Do you want to deport all black people to Africa and all white people to Europe, or are you presuming that Indigenous would freely decide to host all of you on their land indefinitely?
I would like to see settler-colonial governments abolished, settler wealth redistributed, and for settlers to betray whiteness/colonialism and join indigenous resistance to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.
Black people are not settlers. It’s not like their ancestors came here to invade and colonize the land and it’s not like they have generational wealth from settler-colonialism.
That’s never going to happen. Various bands are not getting back land that now host large cities and infrastructure. You can rail against that injustice until your death, which will accomplish nothing, or you can try to find a way forward.
And I say this as someone who believes that Canadian demographics are against you. The white guilt of colonization is quickly diluting into the pool of 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants who feel no guilt and have no connection to this questionable past. At that point nobody will care and your culture will be erased like so many others in the past.
A few government handouts don’t make up for the centuries of superexploitation.
Land back or nothing.
Two questions:
Are you in Canada?
Are you/your people indigenous to land now within Canadian borders?
