Do the math @RussContreras, nearly all immigrants came after the 1965 Immigration Act. Only Native Americans were here in any real numbers before that.
Lynchings were nearly always used to police & terrorize Blacks-the ex slaves. Stop trying to shoehorn POC into our history.
US took Mexico in 1848. Not only were there Native people living on those lands but also people of Mexican ancestry. This of course was decades before 1965. (My people were here in 1800s too).
This doesn’t feel like solidarity but an attempt to recenter during a time when our group is fighting for repair from our government. 2/
support #reparations for #ADOS we show our solidarity all the time now it’s your turn!
No one is trying to erase or dismiss your history. But “Nearly all” means just that your people were barely here when our ancestors were the #1 targets of this terrorism. Even according to your source y’all really weren’t here. 1/pic.twitter.com/4JHCadkwCp
Your people were concentrated in the SOUTHWEST. Keep geography in perspective and stop trying to insert your history into narratives that it didn't exist in. Chicano history is important, but *not* intersectional with ours with respects to our enslavement & legacy.
The United States PAID MEXICO $20M. Treaty of Hidalgo. Took what, now?
And none of that money went to Indigenous people living on those lands! Stolen land!
But the natives were at war with the Mexicans too. Mexicans/spanish basically did the same thing as the Americans in mesoamerica
