 Black Aziz Anansi @BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to Hasslesmom Yeah, no. Indigenous folks aren't colonizers. Nor are the folks who reluctantly ended up here due to being stolen. 1  Hasslesmom@Hasslesmom@mastodon.social BlackAzizAnansi Sorry, but you can’t use different standards for different cultures and continents. You cannot at once say that indigenous people of one continent who were overrun and absorbed into an empire and whose people were conscripted into an army are colonizers, but people on another continent who volunteered in the military to show they were equally loyal to the state as anyone else were not. It’s either one or the other.
