“Just a reminder last year on Thanksgiving that Natives were being tortured with dogs, illegal scare tactics, being run over by angry white ppl all to protect our water and this year on Thanksgiving they are now cleaning up 200,000 gallon oil spill on a South Dakota reservation”
A white man was throwing racial slurs at a Black FedEx Driver. He started Punching the driver, the FedEx driver punched him back one time, killing the man with One Punch.
He wont be indicted for the racist scumbags death either! Win!
Magnuson’s death from the fall was precipitated by “extremely poor health,” a medical examiner concluded, and the punch itself was not fatal, Senior Deputy District Attorney Adam Gibbs wrote.
Warren was within his legal right to challenge Magnuson’s “racist vitriol,” Gibbs noted, and said that Warren’s decision to confront Magnuson — rather than ignore him — was not legally significant.
Please keep up this energy of racists dropping dead on my dash.
If Congress does not pass legislation protecting the tribe and the legal challenge fails, the Mashpee would be stripped of their right to exercise sovereign jurisdiction over their land.
Jessie Little Doe Baird, the tribe’s vice-chairwoman, told Al Jazeera that loss of jurisdiction would prevent the tribe from running indigenous language schools, tribal courts, and housing projects, as well as its own police.
“We have our own police force, which is important because they’re tribal citizens and since we’ve had our own police force, none of our men have been beaten or shot, which we’ve had before with non-tribal police,” she said.
Missionary or not, if you go somewhere where it is widely known they don’t want visitors and it is literally illegal to contact them or go on their land, and you get clapped, that is your own fault.
Stop trying to colonize everyone and mind your business.
Spent the night emailing Elementary schools because I’m tired of this.
I’ll never forget the conversation I had with my niece when her kindergarten class said they were having a “powwow” to learn about Native Americans. She was so excited, thinking it was the same powwow she knew, so she put on her mocs and waited in excited anticipation for her favorite jingle dress dancers. When I spoke to her after, the sadness and disappointment in her voice as she described shitty craft stations and making paper feather headbands broke my heart into a thousand tiny pieces.
This was in 2017.
I really had high hopes that people would get their shit together and stop doing this in time to not traumatize the generation after me, but uh, turns out, nah.
I am a Mexican Native living in the area the the Lumbee and Coharie live. When I was a school teacher back in 04-07 the curriculum I had to teach at the private “chr*stian” school I was teaching at. Had teachers teaching that Natives no longer exsisted and we moved from our own land willingly. I ofc refused since out of a class of 20 16 of my kids were Native. So I junked that crap and used that day to invite parents and the kids if they cwlt comfortable. To share their culture,traditional wear and even regalia. I was written up all 3 times and was fired for my “inability to stick to school a sanctioned circulum and makeing a spectical of myself in Indian clothes.” I wore a simple Huipil and Tehuana with Chinantec to wear while it was my turn. Nothing grandiose or over the top. But yeah American schools are shit.
Hot fucking take, but you know what? Designating aromanticism and asexuality as a “white people thing” is, in fact, racist.
To give in a example: I am hispanic. We’re stereotyped as being overly romantic and sexy, good “lovers”, seductive, always get married and have big families, etc. By saying that aromanticism and asexuality are only for White People™, you’re denying me agency over my own sexuality and romanticism. You’re saying that because I’m hispanic, that I have to be romantic, and I have to be sexual.
Labeling aromanticism and asexuality as a “white people thing” erases aspecs of other races and ethnicities- many of whom need extra support due to perceptions of romance and sexuality within their own cultures- and forcibly subjects them to harmful stereotypes. That’s racism.
if you’re not committed to antiracism, you’re not a good doctor.
I remember when I had pneumonia I was so sick and exhausted and in pain that I couldn’t get out of bed for *days* — I eventually pushed myself to walk across campus to the doctor’s office (it took me literally 45 minutes to walk there bc I had to walk so slow) and when I got there…the doctor made it seem I was only trying to get out of writing an exam lol. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I was going to be withdrawing from the class anyway bc I hadn’t had the energy to get to lectures at all that semester. She lectured me about how she sees students do this all the time and she can’t take a risk in trusting me when the only thing that was wrong with me was exhaustion. “We all have off days” is what she said lolol.
I was so humiliated at her insinuation that I eventually just nodded when she said it “didn’t seem like I had any issues” and went back home. It wasn’t until I fainted walking down the hallway like 4 feet outside my apartment that I started panicking and called someone to take me to the hospital. When I got there even the receptionists looked genuinely pale to see how hard it was for me to walk and how much it hurt to breathe or talk.
It would take *6* different antibiotics for the really advanced pneumonia to finally die out, the last of which was delivered intravenously in my arm for 10 continuous days — I still have the scar where the initial IV was and I have another mark on my wrist. I *literally* couldn’t walk or lay on my back for 8-9 weeks. I would sleep sitting up with pillows on a chair and when my breath would involuntarily deepen as I started to fall asleep I would jerk awake bc of the sharp pain my lung where the pneumonia was.
That same doctor who thought I was lying about being sick would then call me like 34 times in a row when my blood test results came to her office and the hospital sent her my chest x rays lolol, obviously worried about looking bad and having called me a liar and sending me home when I had such a serious bout of pneumonia.
In the 3rd year of my premed degree I would learn that doctors in North America — and specifically white women in nursing lol — often see south Asian women as malingerers who exaggerate their pain. In a UK study there were neonatal nurses who went so far as to say that south Asian women also lack maternal instincts, care more about their pain meds than their child and “can’t handle” child birth.
Yosif al Hasnawi — an Iraqi Canadian teen — died at the hands of two paramedics who did not believe he had been shot and claimed he was “acting” when he was actually internally bleeding. They made him walk to the ambulance with a bullet in his stomach, from which he would later die after not being transported to the hospital for 38 minutes.
Just yesterday My cousin, totally healthy, just died of a brain hemorrhage and often complained about ongoing migraines that could’ve been telltale signs of hypertension that were totally ignored by her doctor for years.
and just a day before that Kim porter who was otherwise healthy just died of pneumonia while having expressed her symptoms and pain to doctors for days — I would say that I’m shocked by this but the implications faced by brown people and racism in the healthcare system is 10x worse for black women who are often seen as liars and in it for the meds as a result of historical anti blackness and systemic rejection of black patients’ pain.
doctors are literally trained to perceive racialized people as malingerers who are trying to scam for meds or medical attention instead of people in pain. It’s 100% systemic and actually integrated into medical education.
