@estelusti @choctawnationOK @ChickasawNation @IndianCommittee @CCFAnow @AYWalton ....instead of division, we are better working together to preserve the shared history. There are many stories that need to be told (not only a selected few).

@estelusti @choctawnationOK @ChickasawNation @IndianCommittee @CCFAnow @AYWalton Right now in Corporate America, there is an #ESG movement against business that engage with companies that have profited from slave labor. This is relevant today, because 4/5 tribes continue to discriminate against the Black Native Freedmen population.

@YabaBlay Many Native American groups use “sovereignty” to disassociate Black Natives from the tribes. Same concept though.

@estelusti There is no such thing as "pure blood". Those communities were tri-racial and each demographic of citizens should've been granted equal status.

Angela Walton-Raji (lower right), a genealogical researcher working with #NativeAmerican records in #Oklahoma, gave an @OklaMediaCenter presentation “about the #Freedmen — a bilingual, bicultural and in many cases biracial people forgotten in their own state.” Thanks, @AYWalton!

@GrandersonGroup @thelauracoates ..as a minor, in possession of an assault weapon. IJS.

@thelauracoates What about the fact that he left his home jurisdiction went to another where there was civil unrest to defend property where he had no proprietary interest in the property. This sounds like Zimmerman.

It's always risky to put a defendant on the stand. Crying may look contrived/strategic, & tears alone don't prove you were entitled to act in self-defense let alone use lethal force. This will come down to whether Rittenhouse was justified in his belief it was kill or be killed.

@Peeps1908 @karenhunter @michaelharriot .. “and after we rewrite history, use the church to rock you to sleep, you become the immigrants in the new stories”. Sounds about right 🤔

@michaelharriot What would that sound like? We came to your land, killed your people, took your land, and let’s celebrate with a turkey?

Ever year, around this time, I am overwhelmed by the same depressing thought: Why TF don’t we have any Thanksgiving carols?

@thelauracoates D- all of the above, unfortunately

Which word do you think is the most problematic? A) Critical B) Race C) Theory

@YNB … like Black Native American members of tribal communities 🤔

@Bakari_Sellers The devil is bold. Don’t be surprised, be bolder. Smh

Watch this video. There is so much happening in this clip, it’s hilariously ignorant.

@thelauracoates … #leaders shouldn’t be able to vote against the benefits they utilize for themselves. Definitely not leadership, it’s something else 🤔

The irony of removing paid leave to placate a man is not lost on any of us whose family planning had to include banking sick leave and never taking a day off for over a year just so you could pay your bills while caring for a newborn.

Be the reason someone believes in good people. #mondaythoughts #MondayMotivation #MondayMorning

@AliVelshi This is important and our groups documents how the slave-holding Native American tribes participated and benefited from it economically. CCFAnow.org

@Dr_WillWhite @karenhunter Thank you!

@AthenaCCFAnow I heard you on the @karenhunter great job!
