Wounded Knee Occupation (1973) in February 27, 1973, a 71-day uprising began when approximately 200 Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement (AIM) members seized the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to demand treaty negotiations. Paul Manhart S.J. and ten other residents of the area were apprehended at gunpoint and taken hostage.
The town was promptly surrounded by an army of U.S. personnel. John Sayer, author of “Ghost Dancing the Law: The Wounded Knee Trials”, wrote - “The equipment maintained by the military while in use during the siege included fifteen armored personnel carriers, clothing, rifles, grenade launchers, flares, and 133,000 rounds of ammunition, for a total cost, including the use of maintenance personnel from the National Guard of five states and pilot and planes for aerial photographs, of over half a million dollars.”
Although the Department of Justice (DoJ) prohibited media from the site, the occupation received support from the Congressional Black Caucus and prominent public figures, including Marlon Brando, Johnny Cash, Angela Davis, and Jane Fonda. Angela Davis was turned away by federal forces as an “undesirable person” when she attempted to enter Wounded Knee in March 1973.
Marlon Brando asked Sacheen Littlefeather, President of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee, to speak at the 45th Academy Awards on his behalf. She appeared at the March 27th ceremony in traditional Apache clothing and stated that Brando declined the award due to “the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry…and on television and movie reruns and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee”.
Tribal leaders called off the occupation after 71 days after the killing of Lawrence “Buddy” Lamont, a local Oglala man, by U.S. sniper fire. The terms of ending the occupation included a mandated meeting at Chief Fools Crow’s land to discuss reinstating the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which stated that the Black Hills of South Dakota belonged to the Sioux people.
In the 1980 Supreme Court case United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, the Court held that the taking of property that was set aside for the use of the nation required just compensation, including interest. The Sioux have not accepted the compensation awarded to them by this case, valued at $1.3 billion as of 2011.
“If we accept the money, then we have no more of the treaty obligations that the federal government has with us for taking our land, for taking our gold, all our resources out of the Black Hills…we’re poor now, we’ll be poorer then when that happens.”
former Oglala Sioux Tribe President Theresa Two Bulls
I hope you nerds have a great next week and also first week of March. 
Remember no crackers
I fucking hate westerners explaining to me how akshully overthrowing Iran is good and how Iran is bad, and being centrists on the conflict.
Fuck you, i live in this region. I don’t need a fucking neocon NATO lib living cushily in europe explaining to me the fucking politics of my region, death to america, israel and europe
God i’m so angry right now.
they saw the Epstein files, they saw the genocide in Gaza, we should saw them in half
they will be put in mazov’s sausage grinder inshallah
god willing.
What I hate even more are the diaspora crying to officials about how their people must be killed for the better of the world. Absolute scum and then they try to use their identity to gain “exotic” points when convenient.
The same people who have been crying about women’s rights in Iran saw that one of the first things to come out from the US-Israel strikes was that an all girls school was hit killing 80+ girls and they still came out and thanked Trump.
So much this. I have Iranian friends celebrating on Instagram and I want to say, “Wtf is wrong with you? They killed hundreds of women and little girls. They are going to raze your family’s country to the ground like they always do. They’ve supported a genocide, supported Israel taking parts of Lebanon, Syria, etc. Have you never observed what the US has done to any place they visited?” But I don’t feel comfortable arguing against diaspora locals about their home country unless it’s a place I’m also familiar with or have relatives. They might pull out some history or local knowledge I’m not familiar with. But it still pisses me off, I just bite my tongue.
Irani expats who’re cheering on this violence are as bad as gusanos. idgaf what familial trauma they have nursed for the last 47 years since the Islamic Revolution, there’s no excuse to actively support AmeriKKKan Imperialism, murdering Iranis, and putting Iran back under the Western boot.
These are the same people that were crying about the US wanting to annex Greenland about a month or so ago. But now that they’ve check their
cards its back to the same old bullshit.
Just had some cracker tell me they’re worried about getting on their flight from Bumfuck USA to Shithole USA because “Iran promised to blow up passenger planes”. (No they didn’t)
When a cracker sees the mass slaughter of brown people their first thought is how the uppity nonwhites are going to interrupt their vacation.
Actually you know what? I hope every single one of these vile crackers gets put on a plane and blown up over the ocean. Genocidal fascists all of them
Iran has been bombed again, poc lives don’t matter to white people. I can’t even think of a single time in recent history of any conflict between two groups one being of lighter and one being of darker skin where the lighter skinned group is not the aggressor
the
force located in eastern europe has been deployed and are now explaining to everyone how “both sides” in this conflict are bad 
(by both sides they mean iran)The west got collectively owned by Genghis Khan and have never been able to get over it.
Hopefully my last time mentioning this recent discourse but I feel like many white users here defended their position cause they probably have said the n slur and/or other racial slurs in the past. “I was young and didn’t know better” is a common position among many of the no purpose flour people, how many of them even used to be chuds after all?
Or “it’s just a song”.
The discourse here doesn’t sit right with me because it feels unresolved. Why did they fight so hard against an apology then go back and say “but he apologized(now).” Because as we pointed out over and over, it was about the slur not the disability.
Yep. And now that it’s blown over its “back to normal” as if the poc here are supposed to look at the white users the same lmao hell no. Always side eye any fucking cracker that fights so damn hard for one of them to not apologize for a racial slur, always.
Exactly… they aren’t reformed chuds. They’re just chuds.
So many of the “I was young” types end up being older than 21 when they talk about their “youth”
Edit: and yeah that’s still a young age but by that point you should know better about using slurs. I’d personally say you’d know better by your teen years as well
Yeah, agree and yes as a teen unless it’s a foreign language where you don’t grasp the full meaning then you’re old enough. I was old enough to understand fully what they meant when they directed it at me they knew damn well what they’re doing but white folks will infantilize themselves to escape.
After the israel flag debacle, the n slur tourettes debacle, white hexbear users hijack a post mourning one of the hundreds of little girls murdered today by zionazis to cry about antisemitism… what do they think of the resistance, are they not aware?
lol the angriest cracker on that thread is now saying the slogan is “colonialist” and “fascist”
Colonialism and genocide is when you say death on a group of white colonizers. I’m not seeing that cause I block after calling their asses out but jfc
They’re angry at their worthless screeds not getting a response so they just head back to the thread and drop a new turd every few minutes
If I had more spoons I’d unblock and reply to every comment of theirs with the phrase that triggered this lmao imagine doing this on a thread mourning a murdered little girl fucking piece of shit
Crackers on this site unlock new levels of worthlessness with each passing day
I don’t bother engaging with them anymore, the solution to white supremacy is a baseball bat not dialogue. Plus I don’t need a swarm of crackers calling me a nazi until the end of time. Maybe if we let them think they got the last word in and won they won’t pick up the pitchforks and summon an angry white mob to try and get us banned again.
That is true. I just reply and block cause maybe it’s an ego shit but I like to at least call out their bs. Also when it involves murdered poc, especially children I don’t exactly think clearly. Western chauvinism pmo.
I remember once saying “waiting for USians to overthrow their gov and destroying the empire from the inside is like giving up” and got a cracker going “so you’re telling global south people to just give up?” where did I say that??? Y’all prove me right everyday that passes anyway!
Also I’m pretty sure the white user [REDACTED] came back under a different name after he got banned due to liberal zionist talking points during the burning flag emoji debacle. So if I get banned I would have the right to come back anyway and they can cry about it. I hate naming names and I’m sure he learned but I’m done being nice after this week.
No, I wouldnt have noticed because don’t read Arabic, congrats, you got me, what point are you trying to prove? Pretending that anti-semitism doesn’t go hand-in-hand with fascism and colonialism is ridiculous.
Do you seriously think I don’t care about the people America massacres because they’re muslim? Do I need to perform my disgust so everyone knows I think this is terrible? Fucking obviously I’m horrified. But “curse upon the Jews” isn’t anticolonial or anti-fascist, and its not an analysis any communist should ever agree with.
I didn’t even claim any of these things. The “do I need to perform my disgust” part is peak cracker though.
“Context? What the fuck is that?”
Palestinians, Persians/Iranians, Syrians, Jordanians, and a dozen other nationalities terrorized by Isreal and the US obviously carry a different meaning than if a German or Mayonnaise-American says “Curse upon the Jews.”
They’re tone policing the same way conservatives and reactionaries got upset when a mother whose son was killed in a hate crime (I don’t remember which, there’s been too fucking many) cried out “Kill white people! Kill all the white people!”
I’m personally not going to say “Death to the Jews!” because me saying it has only an antisemitic context. The people currently being genocided and bombed are clearly talking about American and European settlers killing them, not Iranian Jews also being killed. Iran isn’t going to start sending rockets at Moroccan synagogues.
White people will bend over backwards about why people shouldn’t be upset over having the n-word shouted at black people on international TV but all of a sudden become obtuse when a country is invaded by a zionist entity.
Shouting the n word at black men on TV: Umm sweaty haven’t you considered the context???
Victims of genocide calling for a curse upon the people killing them:
YOU ARE LITERALLY ADOLF FUCKING HITLERNot sure they realize how much this comes off as crying about “anti-white” racism.
This whole debacle shows they believe you can be racist to whites which means they cannot be considered even on the left.
Translation: “I’m tired of pretending to care about the subhumans”
Wait, they did that? What the fuck is happening to this damn site?
White users have been dropping the mask way more often as of late.
I feel like being on hexbear is more and more of a pain as of late… I feel like, beyond the megas, it’s more habit than anything for me at this point
Same. I like the news mega and this one, it’s like a small piece of gold in a sea of shit.
I think Americans don’t realize that when people refer to “Hollywood” they don’t necessarily mean the film industry. They mean the entire LA entertainment bubble that includes influencers, YouTubers, and streamers. They’ve absolutely fallen under the Hollywood entertainment umbrella and extended US soft power.
I only bring this up because some NATO leftist said targeting Hollywood would be wrong because poc live there and they don’t film movies there anymore.
Iran is chock full of poc but that clearly didn’t matter when they got bombed.
يا الله
I really scratched some kkkrackkkers by pretending brown people’s lives and deaths matter. Silly me, I forgot that killing is only bad when it’s done to white people.
HexBear is not the place I would have expected someone to get uncomfortable with me wishing ill upon the troops of the 4th Reich but I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised
Fictional antisemitism is the REAL issue, not human lives of victims of zionism
Shockingly this one wasn’t even about antisemitism, they didn’t even have that flimsy pretext, as far as I can tell it’s just a discomfort with the idea of counterviolence.
Gotta love when they completely short circuit and bring out the self-righteous indignation as if it means jack shit
Gotta love it when they equate the violence of the oppressor to the one needed for liberation of the oppressed.
Calling for a curse upon the people responsible for committing a genocide against your people is the same thing as actually committing the genocide, ackshully. Why haven’t the victims of genocide considered the political sensitivities of whites? When whites are sharing their lived experiences, they need to sit down and listen. /s
HexBear is not the place I would have expected someone to get uncomfortable with me wishing ill upon the troops of the 4th Reich but I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised
this site has had 5 different US Troops struggle session from what i can remember, it doesnt surprise me much
Troop struggles, liberal zionism struggles, votebluenomatterwho struggles, each time I think “ah, surely now we’ve shed the last of the dross” — alas! remnants stubbornly persist.
Nooooooo you don’t understand, radlib democrat #255882981 will be different from all the others. Don’t you understand that [insert DNC talking point here]?
Every time a cracker has their fee-fees hurt by POC they make it all about themselves and turn it into a giant struggle session
In some cases, while pretending that it’s not even about their feelings
there are some people that need to be purged in this site, especially those with a “consistent” track record. i have west asians on my twitter feed cheering on iran to give every american and israeli hell while ppl here are still centering their cracker feelings.
it breaks my heart how the leaders of the ummah united to murder 115 children sitting in class, to murder an Imam, to help a genocide, all in the holliest month. All in the name of the corporations, all in the name of Chevron and Shell.
“As a German, I am the real victim of the Holocaust because of negative views of Germany. Nazi Germany is actually the most anti-German state there is and promotes the oppression of Germans. By expressing anti-German sentiment you are playing into the hands of the fascists by forcing me to become a nazi because of your mean words.”

What’s not a big deal to white hexbear users: white man calling black men the n slur with the hard r
What’s a big deal to white hexbear users: genocide victims and survivors using a slogan for over 20 years now that calls for a curse upon a group of white colonizing genocidal people who happen to follow a religion that suffered persecution in europe
White supremacist website. White feelings > brown lives. Literal textbook definition.
They will always have more solidarity with the most privileged special-status white people than they ever will with the most oppressed nonwhite person.
The main difference between a white “leftist” and a 1960s op-ed writer complaining about the incivility of the civil rights movement is that one is writing their trash on their phone
This site is only good for getting news and some analysis plus this thread. Everything else? Dumpster fire.
Completely unsurprising that the only usable threads are the ones that are either entirely cracker-free or generally cracker-free
HB whites think they’re special but if you press them (or don’t thank them enough for not being Hitler) they will react with the same seething white rage that you would get from any garden variety MAGA chud
Their first mistake is thinking I gaf about anything that comes out of their mouths when it comes to oppression and race.
We will have the same struggle session every time on this site FML.
Where is civility@hexbear.net when you need it?
Site needs a cracker purge
Such is the life when a site has majority wise white users.

Before you say anything, you must consider whether white Jews will be offended by it. As penance you must now write an essay on how Jews are the real victims of Zionism /s
Reminds me of a white woman on twt who was saying “being against the rich is antisemitism disguised as leftism” or some shit. Can’t make this shit up but somehow we’re the antisemites cause we defend the resistance.
Its a clear and concerted effort.
It’s a coincidence

It shouldn’t surprise me but it did a little when I realized most libs and NATO-Leftists who support Ukraine have no idea they’re active in Africa killing civilians there.
Most have 0 idea of anything going on in Africa.
they support that
I love when euro/americans make fun of the term “global south” as if it’s some irrelevant group
Mf we’re literally %80+ of the global population, YOU are the minority here
the west must have 5 centuries of humiliation for true communism to be achieved
On the flip side, I have seen an Indian guy express disdain for the term. I’m not entirely sure what his thought process was. I think he viewed it as some “woke buzzword used by performative Western lefties” or something like that.
They don’t prolly even know the United Nations uses the term.
What exists to them is in their vicinity; all the rest are some ‘online’ things that turn out to be real that breaks their minds.
It’s just this casual ignorant and racist mentality they have, I’ll live with it, and if its get worse, eventually I must help unleash those 5 centuries. Otherwise, the Liu Xiaobos of these world still persist for that.
Put it in words better than i could
Glad to see the hexbear crackers are still ever-vigilant and present to tone-police and lecture victims of genocide about Jewish feelings and how their resistance slogans are antisemitic /s
White “leftism”, not even once
When they do that shit I just double down. Not my fault the colonizers happen to be jewish, not my damn problem their actions might come back to bite them in the ass. The victims of violence are what matters and anybody offended about this can log off and touch grass, maybe get a life while they’re at it. 150 little girls were just massacred in their classrooms, be outraged about that.
They don’t have an argument so all they can do is lock arms with Zionists and scold their victims for “bigotry”
True, most of them suck so atp I just make fun of them and then block lmao I block most crackers who show their asses or don’t have John Brown energy. Makes any site much better.
John Brown energy.
That’s like… 2 crackers out of every 10 million.
Vast majority of crackers fall somewhere in a range from Strom Thurmond to Adolf Hitler.
Still trying to figure out whether claiming genocide victims are bigoted against their oppressors is closer to Thurmond or Hitler.
The average cracker has characteristics of both. When the time comes for the collapse of the west I will only feel for the poc there.
Exactly. Less crackers, less shit on my feed that’ll make me want to rip my eyes out. I only met one irl like this.
White “leftists” would be good at teaching drama classes with how much they like to perform.
Nobody is more of a master at crying-on-command, the tiniest scratch and the next second you’re being drowned with weaponized tears and how-dare-yous
Really baffling how many people, even POC, cannot understand that saying “Race is a social construct” is not the same thing as saying “Race is trivial and has no serious, meaningful impact on anyone’s life because it is made-up bullshit.”
they don’t understand what is a social construct, because they are not educated on the matter, there’s also who think social construct means “I don’t see skin color”.
speaking of which, the way people describe us African entirely as a single ethnic group, a single “black race”, nevermind the cultural and linguistic diversity of the continent. Everyone is just “black”.
Africa is so incredibly diverse, much more so than europe, it’s ironic.
It’s more diverse than America itself is. You actually feel like you’re going through different countries in a single country. America feels like the same country with a bunch of immigrant enclaves and their kids fully integrated
Asia and Africa both are the most diverse continents iirc yet if you ask a westerner all asians and all africans look the same lmao
Projection from westerners.
