China also kinda just forces anyone out who's in the way. To build any new infrastructure the US ends up getting slowed down to a crawl because of red tape and beurocracy. Land owners have a lot more rights in the US.

Unless the landowners are Black or Indigenous. I don’t recall euro-kkkolonizers asking their opinion about colonization either in the seventeenth century or today.

I'm not talking about history. I'm talking about the US today.

How can you separate one from the other? History doesn’t just begin and end at the convenience of white supremacists. When did the colonization end, for instance? All the euro-kkkolonizers are still here, they just changed their flag and started sending their taxes to DC instead of London.

These "euro-kkkolonizers" were all several generations ago. Maybe you want to pretend nothing has changed, but things have gotten significantly better since then.

I won't pretend we don't still have problems. People of color are still statistically lower income, and they're still affected by all the same capitalist problems that come with that.

The problem is also not the same across the country. Every state has their own top issues.
