FBI now classifies far-right Proud Boys as 'extremist group', documents say

I haven’t heard many people downplay what happened to the native Americans or blacks in the past... And fuck anyone that does. I think the dispute is who’s to blame and if skin colour is enough to point fingers. I haven’t heard anything remotely defensible that claims white skin colour is the only prerequisite necessary to hold people accountable for slavery and oppression of native Americans. How is it not more reasonable to point fingers at the established government/military at the time, while other Europeans migrated purely for the prospects of their families? What do you have to say about Métis families? It’s just more racial prejudice but people can’t stand to admit it because white people weren’t the ones that suffered... How do people not see this? Your blame reasoning isn’t detailed enough and it’s just pissing people off. I didn’t say racism isn’t real, I didn’t say white people suffer more.
