Native Americans aren't a monolith breh
There are literally multiple continents involved when you talk about natives of the Americas
I think it's reasonable to have issues with current indigenous people who have current issues with African Americans while at the same time have empathy for
tribes that literally don't even exist anymore and culturally had little in common with the indigenous people we beefing with
lets go in
1. I agree "Native american" is a category(racial) same as...
- fathers
- sports fans
- British citizen
- movie goers
- dem dudes overthere wearing a white tee
- etc.
...are all categories.
Them being a "monolith" as in
- (shearing all the same traits outside of that which was used to delineate them), is besides the point and also not implied.
2. Again I agree, and also never stated otherwise. "The Americas" denotes a global region(hemisphere) that includes both continents and islands
Americas - Wikipedia
3. I stated as much in my OP...
...
......
I've never had a prob doing my thing as an African American and PanAfricanist while also
having a basic respect for the indiginous people of the Americas
...provided they ain't on some foul shyt of course.
4. Clarify please
(I don't need anything long winded) ...Specifically what do you mean by
"tribes that literally don't even exist anymore"?
(I assume you mean mixed indigenous peoples who may not identify with a specific "tribe"? But I'm not sure exactly what you mean here)
If so then I can reply to you just fine from there ...I just want to make sure we're on the same page before I go any further.
NOTE:
I think we are on the same page for the most part

..though there maybe some slight disagreement on
