Are you allowed to say Indian Country? Seems racist

This is a tragedy. It reeks of further proof that the U.S. government wants Indians dead, and now the U.S. Supreme Court is sanctioning their deaths. Shame. Indians are not a protected class in America. They’re relegated lower than BLM in the mainstream. All lives matter!

Death penalty doesn't work and it costs us tons more money. FUCK THE DEATH PENALTY.
