Racial subordination as a system, not a group, wins when one group oppresses another

Evidence

Tribal Nations and black Americans were victims of white supremacy in different ways. One racial group does not win when they are used to oppress a different racial group. The only winner in that instance is the system of racial subordination that led to mostly white Americans being awarded almost 246 million acres of land. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 336

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Distinguishes reparations claims of Tribal Nations from black Americans as ‘different ways,’ clarifying that both can be victims of white supremacy without pitting them against each other.
  • QUESTION: 246 million acres figure — worth verifying the precise land grant total for the reparations case.
  • XREF: connects to: American racial injustice in justice systems is a universal dominance phenomenon; Racism based on power structures is not aggregate interpersonal antipathy; Subordinated racial groups actively participate in creating and maintaining hierarchy — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3583 (+1 more)
  • yield-rescued: below the book’s yield-target cutoff, included anyway for connecting to: American racial injustice in justice systems is a universal dominance phenomenon; Racism based on power structures is not aggregate interpersonal antipathy; Subordinated racial groups actively participate in creating and maintaining hierarchy — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3583 (+1 more)
