      the judge ordered them to remove all that stuff so that the tribe could access sites sacred to them. were the other groups also seeking access to sacred Miccosukee sites?

      why shit on native americans just to make white people feel good about participating?

        What are you talking about? The ruling was based on environmental damage to the Everglades, which is why the other groups were involved.

            Removal of fencing for tribal access was part of the ruling, true, but Friends of the Everglades was the lead plaintiff, and as the linked article makes clear this was an environmental law ruling. Why can’t we just count this a win all around without distorting the facts?

              the facts are that the federal lawsuit didn’t go in their favor until a tribe the federal government signed a treaty with joined it. why do white people have to take everything minorities accomplish and make it their own by distorting the facts?

                  that’s just how liberals are. you gotta give white people their due respect, or they turn on you for being ungrateful.

                  being an ally of theirs is contingent upon your continued respect and deference to their leadership of the nation. no matter how far we come, POC will always be second class to the white liberal. Malcom X really did say it best when he said the white liberal was the most dangerous enemy.

                Court cases take time. Did they cause it to finish? I doubt it. It’s great they also joined it, but it sounds like they aren’t the only cause.

                why do white people have to take everything minorities accomplish and make it their own by distorting the facts?

                It sounds like you’re the one distorting facts. Giving credit where it’s due is great and important, and one of the things colonizers fail to do. However, you’re now doing the same thing.

      I don’t see the post as shitting on solidarity, rather bringing to my attention something that I find helpful in fostering intersectional solidarity
