This is not a defense of Native Americans over Blacks.
Native American reservations(and I fucking hate that language) which amounts to forced segregation based on white historical power.
But, Natives even given that, have had far more representation of their own even in white forced segregation.
So when Native Americans identify with oppression but don't riot or loot, is a fucking bullshit argument. Both are prisons set up by the white man, but with Native segregation which which is what a "reservation" is, at least Natives get to run their own prisons.
It should not be an argument about how Native Americans or Blacks react to white BULLSHIT, but how whites accept we have been fucking dicks.
I have seen too many stories of minorities of any skin tone, trying to comply and get fucked, or rightfully fighting back and still get fucked.
Your complaints about Native reservations are somewhat out of date. While it was certainly true that reservations were once a form of forced segregation (particularly during periods of forced removal), that is no longer the case. No native is forced to live on a reservation. In fact, the majority of them do not.
Why do you hate the word ‘reservation’? It means land that is ‘reserved’ for natives, and was usually granted by treaty in consultation with the natives themselves (the fairness and honouring of those treaties is another issue entirely).
