        Nah I assumed you were an aussie from “munted” and the s you keep putting in colonizer; hence “convict settler”. Not like either one deserves enough respect to be demarcated distinct from one another, but that’s a whole different kettle of catfish.

                The fact that you think it is speaks to how comfortable your life is lmfao. For my people, a hundred years changed fucking nothing. Schools, jobs, living districts, third spaces, the fact that we still get lynched by cops and fed into prison slavery if we’re lucky enough to survive a cop run-in; all still segregated in ways that are just nebulous enough to get a veneer of plausible deniability from the settlers thanks to the efforts of assimilationist tokens. Y’know, the artifice that lets you say “a hundred years is a long time and everything is different now”. I couldn’t be paid to believe your situation is any different-- just where you sit on the pecking order.

                But this is all a waste of time. Even if you read what I’m saying-- which I doubt-- you’d never internalize it. You’re physically incapable of seeing how your sausage is made; otherwise, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
