Really wish y'all would stop lying & saying the construction of race is "different" in Latin America. The antiblack and white hierarchy is the same the only "difference" is the alleged "expanded" landscape of racial and ancestry categories. But this also is not unique to LatinAm.

A thread on the “40 acres” part of reparations:
Black folks are due reparations AND simultaneously, tribal sovereignty must be respected. No settler state should be redistributing or giving away land that doesn’t belong to it. This, incidentally, is still Native land.
It is not nor should it ever be up to the settler state to decide what happens to Native land nor what should happen between Black folks and Native peoples on Native land.
