Hi there,

a new contact of mine @ViolaB brought this well-done infomercial on #YouTube about the plights of #IndigenousAmericans and how to communicate them in an innovative way through clothing to my attention.

IMO that could work for #FirstNations (and #NativeAmericans) as well:

@HistoPol @ViolaB I'll check it out over the weekend. We have a big lack of political will which is the main block against righting injustices - in US, Canada, Australia & several other places fighting for Indigenous rights & justice.

@msquebanh @HistoPol

That's just. πŸ’©

I think for the same reasons Germany is not able talk about "wokeness" correctly. It's a slur here now. πŸ˜”

Here media makes fun of it and does not discuss about stuff like this.

It is often just white people call out other white people for making racist jokes...

And some say it's okay and the others don't do this.

And than the whole discussion ends.

πŸ™„

It's horrible.

@ViolaB, fyi, Phoenix is fighting for indigenous rights from Canada and does a lot of things in this area.

My english is not perfect.
But I am very interesseted and also kind of ashamed because part of my Family lives in Canada.

I was three Times in Toronto spending Holidays there.

I visited manoutlin island and I am still shocked by how Canada dealing with this, also people here in Germany...

They often love Canada but they definitly don't talk about this.

@ViolaB @HistoPol Canada never stopped committing Indigenous genocide to this day. I post a lot of content about this & why people need to pay attention to human rights violations by #KKKanada

@msquebanh @HistoPol

Yes I agree and is also a problem I think we in Europe have to Take Care of.

Some people beginn to see the problems, so they start do dislike the british royals as an example.

@msquebanh @HistoPol

Some people try to make things better and educate the society about that stuff what really happens. But we also have huge problems with teaching "normal" or the average people society about what racism is...

@ViolaB @HistoPol Normal is overrated & racism is rampant. We live in the age of freely accessible education. People who stay bigots or racist or misogynist in this age - are choosing that. It's our job to call it out & do whatever we can, wherever we live - to ensure these hateful folks don't ever feel comfy around us.

@msquebanh @HistoPol I know, a lot of people just using for power and money.

It's sad.

@ViolaB @HistoPol Greed is a wicked soul eating disease.

That is so true. - In early Christianity until the Fall of the Roman Empire a couple of hundred years later, Avarice was considered the most deadly sin.

While not a churchgoer, looking at the behavior of today's rich, the corporations, and the politicians, regardless of faith, they did have a point:
