Uhhhhh.... I'm sorry, are we celebrating this now? #BlkTwitterstorians #Twitterstorians #INDIGENOUS #Solidarity #veteransday2019 #VeteransDay #Empire
I can't imagine anyone at @SmithsonianNMAI bragging about how diverse the U.S. army was in the 19th century or the 'contributions' of African Americans to the Trail of Tears, Seminole Wars, etc. #veteransday2019
Now, to be clear, this is not to flatten the complex motivations and impossible set of decisions facing Black people who decide(d) to work as armed, paid fighters for the U.S. state. We cannot reduce Black thought simply to "complicity with #American #empire." #veteransday2019
