        Well no, the Amish were settlers too. They’re just working with the Indians instead of in spite of the Indians.

            We can stop when we actually give them the same opportunities and protections white people get. You don’t get to oppress a population for 500 years and then just act like nothing happened.

                Civil Asset Forfeiture, fleeing felon rule, subjective reasons for searches, qualified immunity…

                Pretty much everything that allows for selective enforcement of laws.

              did the current, living Amish oppress them? did I? did you? who is the “you” in your sentence?
