I've done my research and it's sad to hear about native unemployment, poverty, and education, but you can't put the blame on an entire race doing this to you because it's really not an entire race's fault. I would be angry also if I were you, but I'm not going to single out an entire race. If there's anyone to blame it's the us government. There are many whites like me that are all for racial and gender equality and it's really upsetting to hear racism and stereotypes coming from either side.

You claim to be an ally while trying to tone police me and dismiss cultural appropriation. White people benefit from white privilege whether they want to or not; and the responsibility to dismantle it is theirs. White people are still oppressing Native Americans today. The blame does not go to the victims of oppression, but the oppressors.
