I also hate the AP you're one of the worst Publications and Associated Press I saw that on Palestine by the way

They were the white men that came and raped all the Native American women and enslaved them real indigenous people didn't have slaves cuz we all looked alike and they weren't into that s*** you had to be white or mixed and more white than othery

The article is still whitewashing Native history especially for the Muscogee/Mvskoke Nation.

Had to reread a few times to realize that the Black people were not enslaved by the Native American nations, but instead they were granted the land by the generous and compassionate Native American nations.

is this article trying to paint white people as heroes?

Is that Webster on the left?! The only black kid who never played basketball.

Greenwood1922 Black wealth grew because we worked together. We were all we had. Whites didn’t do business with us and that was actually what helped us prosper. If we’re honest, integrating before things became equal was a HUGE mistake.
