Racialism is a result of colonization. Dismantling racism is paramount to a good life, but dismantling racialism (the belief that race is a real thing) seems to be something most do not want to do.
It’s justified to demand white people to dismantle white supremacy but it’s plum houngie if continue to center race when talking about indigeneity.
Frankly, a lot of ndns are xenophobic, which makes sense considering the last few hundred years but also is completely heartless when considering an infants place in their tribe by making their ‘pedigree’ a defining factor
Not believing BQ isn’t enough. We need to completely abandon race, and if we don’t, then some American rhetoric philosophy will be dominant, not an indigenous philosophy. And if that’s that route we want to go then least we can do is be truthful about it
By no means is this thread trying to pretend racism isn’t a factor in life… racism is real and needs to be dealt with… race is a social construct that many people do not want deconstructed, even anti-racists
I do believe this discussion needs to be from people who are connected and, very importantly, white peoples ought not insert themselves in this discussion. Yes, I am aware of this contradiction (calling race unreal while calling white people a thing). But that’s where we are
So, if you’re white and not if you’re not a part of an Indigneous community then please do not retweet this or comment anything at all. It’s uncomfortable
