Black Lives Matter raised eyebrows with a Thanksgiving post that characterized America as “stolen land.”
“You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land,” BLM’s national arm wrote on Twitter Thursday. The post included a graphic repeating the “stolen land” claim.
“You are on stolen land. Colonization never ended, it just became normalized,” the graphic said, instructing Americans to learn “which ancestral homeland” they are “currently occupying.”
The tweet quickly sparked backlash on social media.
Since when do you guys have a problem with theft? https://t.co/MdKSHeG0RM
