It appears that your mother is possibly a USC , was she born before 1986 ? <| sep |> I don ' t think you can call Rios Elite . <| sep |> I can only imagine what this might have done for us had he been allowed to speak it . Maybe we would have been able to organize against the continued imperialist whitewashing of history . Maybe more white people , whose voices would have been heard , would have fought against it as well . But instead , today we are a minority of minorities . Our lands are scarred by colonialist monuments to themselves , and our culture , in what little of it still remains , is being torn apart for marketable tidbits that hide away the aggressive imperialism . Those who defend either are attacked or ignored , and we are powerless to defend ourselves , or to make our voices heard . In schools , where they supposedly teach history , the aggression against us is passed over with a few sentences , at best . We are not a people defending ourselves , we are senseless savages striking out against settlers fleeing oppression . The destruction of our culture and traditions is not a genocidal campaign , but the righteous civilization of a crazed people in need of guidance . Our lands are not stolen and conquered , but bought and sold . And the people see nothing wrong with this , because they know nothing else so few of us remain to tell them .
