Can Indians, Black People, really trust White people to be an ally? I don't think so, nope they cannot be trusted. It is not that they are not trust worthy people. It is only because of their race. Yeah, we know race is just a social construct and we are all just human beings, living side by side on this place called Earth. What the heck is a social construct anyways? The way is this, we go with who we know, who is like us. I will side with Indians against Whites 99.99% of the time. There may be an exception where I would take the side of a white person over an Indian, but has to be an extreme case. You know how I know we will chose ours other than them? It is happening everywhere. Israel is engaged in the most horrendous acts to other human beings and despite the overwhelming videos, Israel is still supported. They are portrayed as defenders, and victims. In your mind, you are saying "how the fuck can this be happening? Those people are vile, maggots, ruthless, heartless, evil monsters." Still if it was us that were doing the harm, would we not side with our own?
This is the situation with Allies. Sure they are good people, caring people, wonderful people, open-minded people, people who want fairness in the world. These people will side with the oppressed, the marginalized, the ethnic, the poor and the ( Johnny always wore black cause he identified with the poor, and the downtrodden) and the downtrodden. There is a line they will stop at. If the issue has an affect they will not benefit from but will benefit the people they normal support, it causes them to stop. It makes them turn, cease to take part or even fight against. An Ally is an Ally when it causes them no challenge to their own system, their own comfort.
The big thing with Indian people, Indigenous people the world over, is land. Land back is a slogan and becoming a mindset of our people, and Indigenous people who were settled by colonizers, by colonialism. Even the most "bleeding-hearted, commie, liberal, woke person (lawyers, consultants) will balk at having Land handed back to Indigenous folk. Can you imagine a white lawyer arguing against his society for Indians, Blacks, Maori, Aborigine, to own the country/continent they are currently living in? They wouldn't do it, as it would be betrayal of their own people. There are some examples of people who are not siding within their "group:" Norman Finkelstein, Wallace Shawn, Peter Garrett. I am not sure how far they are willing to go with being on the "outside" of their groups. Who knows? Even the most conscientious goody has a line they will no cross. The line usually has to do with cost, how much will it cost and what is the sacrifice.
I know there are good people who genuinely want to do what is fair, right? Okay then, if that is the case, why has there been no Reparations for the Slavery of Blacks? The United States stands on the blood and murder of countless Black people. And yet, the US will provide Billions of dollars to a genocidal society like Israel? There are too many examples of wrongs by White society to other Race groups in the country and world to mention. Let's just say, there are no Allies there. They will be Ally when it becomes hard for their own comfort.
