This article reminds me of what Germany did to Jews; of what the U.S. did to Native Americans; and of what the U.S. continues to do to Black and Brown people in the U.S.
#Genocide
In 2010 Native American’s made up about 1% of the U.S. population. They used to make up 100% before Europeans arrived.
Black and Brown people are targeted in the U.S. by Mass Incarceration, the War on Drugs, New Jim Crow, and Planned Parenthood Centers.
Planned Parenthood Centers are opened in Black and Brown communities to offer free birth control and abortions.
