How whiteness continues to be upheld in these conversations. How anti-blackness is so persuasive that y’all don’t even see us as ur kin nor value our plights. This is why Afro-Natives stick to us & our communities! This is y some don’t openly proclaim our Indigeniety bc of this!

@0rigPrettyBlack @bogenfogen Those are not your ppl nor your direct ancestors. Indigenous is current btw not just ancestry so Which Indigenous Nation claims you? Which Indigenous Nation r you an active community citizen? If you can’t answer those questions ur not Indigenous.

Community should be a safe space. All of our voices should matter but it’s clear as day that in NDN country Black voices don’t. Someone who has more followers is more significant. It’s such a slap in the face for ppl to tell me all of the “good” things he’s done for Black ppl

On top of that, Mildred was a victim, her yt husband groomed her. This is the same state that racially reclassified Indigenous ppl & criminalized being Indigenous. Plenty of nations still dealing w/ the repercussions of that paper genocide & forced sterilization!

Connecting natives talk about how some reconnected natives can be laterally violent so why can’t reconnecting natives do the same? It goes both ways. Refusing to address the issues or attack ppl for calling it out isn’t going to get us anywhere at all!

What irks me is when non-Afro Natives speak about our history without understanding nuance. Especially ppl who are not from Virginia where it was literally unsafe to be either Black and/or Native. Are we forgetting they were unaliving our ancestors just for existing?

Hence, likely why that contributes to the internalized anti-blackness her descendants deal w/ bc if they continued to be unapologetically Black, they risk getting excommunicated from their own tribe. This is the harsh reality Afro-Natives experience.

In no way, shape, or form am I justifying anti-blackness. It is totally unacceptable, but we also have to understand nuance & stop looking at race through a Black or White lens when circumstances are more complex than that. There is gray area!

You can’t be pro-Indigenous but pro-pretendian hunting. You can’t be pro-tribal sovereignty but think you have the right to tell Natives from other regions our history & try to undermine our Indigeniety bc of what the colonizers taught u about our history.
