Background Information
Seems like this positions "white people" as the enemy. It does evoke a sense of guilt and shame about American history. Perhaps this is beneficial to remember the dangers of racist thinking and actions.
Technique Used

This is propaganda because
Found on my Facebook, this meme is ironically pointing out that the culture of native peoples in North America were nearly destroyed by immigrants who took over the country by force.

    This is successful and beneficial use of propaganda, because it explains immigration policy and why not allowing refugees in the untied states as an absurd idea. As well as evoking shame for not seeing the double standard of not letting immigrants in.

    This makes you want to do something about it. Makes you want to help.

    I think this shows the harms of racism and how you could judge somebody by its cover.

    I think this would be harmful because it is trying to show shame in Americans for doing the same thing to the Natives. And once this is shown more people will be Americans may do something back

    The majority of people chose it to be beneficial so did I. I think that the meme is stating real facts about the issue

    I think this brings awareness to America's history and how citizens want to protect the country from immigrants coming in and they are afraid when their ancestors ave done the same thing. However, it is going against "white people" but it is not that harmful. I had 23% voting rate. I like this propaganda because it teaches people about their own history and shows that it is repeating.

    I'm very confused by this because I don't know if its trying to promote the native american settlement problem or trying to show that america is wrong on the fact of immigration.

    I love this ad because it is very real and shows how times and people change, but the issues remain. Whoever is being persecuted is considered the enemy when they most likely are being deprived of civil liberties.

    This ad is sadly the truth as this is exactly what we did to the native Indians and know we don't want other people taking our land which is literally the same thing we did to them
