The Indigenous American People (IAm) had their Lives taken away from them and the Indigenous African People (IAf) were taken away from their Lives.
Some IAf were taken overseas as slaves (Yaquis and Aztecs to the Philippines, for example) and whole regions of Africa were stolen from IAf.
Both had their traditional religions demonized and stamped out violently, forced into “schools” to “learn” how inferior to whites they “are”.
They both had their languages and their names erased (to varying degrees).
Ultimately, the only war is that between the colonized and the colonizers. All else is smokescreen.
As an aside, most don’t realize “Mexicans” are mixed European, Amerindian, and African. And I include Mexicans among those “most”. They often don’t even know they are not white.
The Spanish caste system kept IAm and IAf at odds through colorism, and over generations sell-outs decided they’d rather seek proximity to whiteness than to stand with their darker-skin-colored cousins from across the sea.
Additionally, the first Latinos in the Americas were not just white, but Black and Arabic. The first Black People in the Americas were Latinos, and that is why so many Latinos (personally I hate the term Latino, but that’s another story), such as Mexicans, are tri-racial (I’m mixed in an absurd amount of directions largely because my dad is “Hispanic”/“Latino”/“Mexican” — actually Mexican Romani).
Chicanos proudly acknowledge the Third Root of Mexico, Mother Africa.
It is why the Chicanos in the 60s and 70s worked closely with the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement.
Mexico had the first Black President and had the Southern Underground Railroad.
IAf brought as much of their cultures as they could to Latin America, and arguably Africa is more deeply rooted into Mexico, Central America, and South America than She is in the US and Canada. She has, after all, been present in the former for much longer than in the latter.
All that being said, colorism prevails in most of the world, and it is an abomination, and factually darker-skinned kin can’t climb very high on the colonialist caste ladder, and lighter-skinned kin need to stop reaching up and instead need to reach down and uplift those without light skin privilege (like myself).
Woodland Indians of the Northeast were taken to the Caribbean. Squatto was a real person, kidnapped and enslaved.He returned to Massachusetts decades later to find his people perished.
Nina, you rock, my sister. You’re always binging the &*$@$ pain with the truth and nothing but. We hold the mantle. We hold the line. We are a testimony just by our existence. We will not back down. We are relentless. We are beautiful. We will not stop. We will not quit. We are not afraid. We’re marching upward to Zion, that beautiful city of God.
Exactly. The Founding Finaglers were this nation's original oligarchs. Only white men with land/money were defined as We the People. No one else has been fully represented. Ever. But many of us (white women and poor whites, for example) have succumbed to material bribes and threats from the start. Whites have to work collectively for Black communities, under Black leadership for the good of us all.
As were Mexicans and Spanish and Chumash in California. And English was not the mother tongue here. This is all just the biggest disgrace. Trump should move to Norway. It’s not a shithole country. But the U.S. is the biggest shithole of a cesspool in the world right now. Violence, intolerance, hatred, indifference, capitulation, greed, avarice, abuse, racism, antisemitism, religious hatred…., the list is too long. But it’s all coming from this administration and their supporters. It’s becoming lawless. The wonderful Hannibal Lecter wasn’t as scary as Trump is.
We can no longer put up with white people who say they are Allies, but fail to take any action on our behalf. I saw a video on YouTube today where two white educators were demonstrating how difficult it was for Anyone to pass a typical literacy test needed for voting in the Jim Crow South. The commentators were expressing stunned surprise that Black Amricans had to go through this and are still going through attempts to keep them from voting. This is a part of the kind of action we need. It needs to be consciousness raising and action oriented.
Hello. This is the type of propaganda video Nina Turner and the Democrats are a part of. While she is talking to us about Black pride she is backing a party that pump out the following:
The video is called “The People Breaking Immigration Law are Not Who You Think”, but the title in the video is “They’re Trying to Bring Slavery Back”. It is produced by More Perfect Union, one of the Democratic Parties MANY shell/fake grassroots organizations. They race baiting and have been since LBJ.
Slavery in its original form, has morphed numerous times in this Republic called America. There are still laws on the books directly related back to 1865.
1865 Loitering: 3 or more young male ADOS gathered together on a street Corner is the Genesis for this law.
Fast Forward: In the public sector:
Don't let 2 or more ADOS gather at a water cooler, staff lounge or lunch table. They are going to walk over with a smile on their face and ask you what you're talking about!
Question for the day:
Why do movies that have no ADOS characters use ADOS music to set the tone of the narrative for them?
Even the delightful series 'Call The Midwives' set in England, uses ADOS music to serve as a mood enhancer.
Why not the 'White Cliffs of Dover?
Think about it?
The classic movie 'Love Jones' with music from The Osmonds to set the tone, LOL
God bless I love you so much Miss Nina! You're one of my favorite people in the whole world and in my favorite multiverse timeline, Bernie became President in 2016, you were VP, & in 2024 you were the first black woman to become President of the United States of America and we've had M4A & the minimum wage is around $25-$30 bucks an hour, and we've had paid family leave and best of all , we overturned Citizens United . I don't know if it's still possible in this hideous, racist timeline, but if it is, I will do everything in my power to help get you elected!! #NinaTurnerForPresident #Turner2028 🇺🇸
Well actually First Nations people were here before you and me and they were slaughtered as soon as Europeans could get ahold of their territories. Being first in this instance isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
The Slave Trade was started before Columbus reached The Americas. The Catholic Church passed anti-Black laws which was used as the basis for wiping out the Native Americans. Please educate yourself before speaking.
Slavery was all over the place way back in time. Tribes enslaved each other many places. Arabs enslaved. Koreans enslaved. Portugese enslaved. Ancient Egyptians enslaved. It’s something homo sapiens have done a lot. What’s amazing is that we evolved and can continue to evolve away from this horror. The UN charter, supported by Eleanor Roosevelt, is a miracle of world-wide progress. Wish we lived up to it -like now in America.
Slave back then was not chattel slavery. You could purchase your way out of slavery. Your ancestors treated chattel slaves as less than dogs and property. You reneged on Reparations which is why the nation will not progress and move as Germany did with the Holocaust.
Lets also not forget, that a Black man's life could be taken just off of a false accusation from a white woman. In fact, this was the leading cause of Black towns and lynchings post-Chattel Slavery.
White women were in no way experiencing anything close to Black women OR Black men.
Surely you don’t think I believe or experience the plight of black men and women in America as anything less than horrific. Native men, women and children also experienced genocide. I’m trying to understand why you need to claim the worst treatment in comparison to other people, times and places. Does that have importance for you?
Here are aspects that are UNIQUE to American Chattel Slavery:
• Hereditary: Children of enslaved women were automatically enslaved.
• Racialized: Only Black Africans and their descendants were enslaved.
• Permanence: Lifelong slavery, unlike some other forms that had exit paths.
• Legally protected: Entire legal codes (e.g., Virginia Slave Codes of 1705) were created to uphold slavery and suppress rebellion.
And no women have not always had it worse.
White women were slave owners and actually had un-consensual with both male/female slaves. They also participated in torturing and maintaining the system as most white women do today.
Stop lumping white women with black women. Your experiences are not the same.
I was referring to the sequence here in this land of N America, not the world. Native peoples were here first. That was your point-first here. Also, enslaving other humans is ancient and almost ubiquitous and not limited to black people. Native Americans are almost always marginalized. In every way. Certainly black people were brought to North America as slaves captured by Arab slave traders and tribal opponents. and then the white mostly Europeans to their great shame. And, don’t get me started on the Catholic Church part in slavery. Or fascism in WWII. Or abuse of women and children, etc. Hopefully they can stop it and make reparations. And, US and especially slave states will make governmental reparations for black families, too.
You cant separate N America from The World because the LEGAL AND MORAL DOCTRINES that caused the Native Americans to be wiped out were created outside of America (Dum Diversas, Doctrine of Discovery, etc)
i agree and will add— times is rough and moving quickly. these are not normal times. basically everyone has to have everyones back. because it’s all of ours(disadvantaged peoples) against the wall with guns pointed at us. the time for everyone to stand with us was yesterday and tomorrow. today is for everyone screaming ‘fuck you i won’t do what you told me’ full throatily.
and hopefully we won’t get screwed out of what is rightfully ours again. ha definitely not holding my breath on that one.
You’re right about one thing: we weren’t “next,” we were first.
But let’s be clear lineage-based harm requires lineage-based repair.
Don’t redirect our centuries of suffering into blanket struggles.
Solidarity is earned through mutual respect, not assumed.
Correct, and the piece lays that out.
Slavery, Share Cropping, Jim Crow, Redling, and the 1965 Immigration Act
She explained that in the article.
Yes
Indeed, right after Indigenous Americans.
The Indigenous American People (IAm) had their Lives taken away from them and the Indigenous African People (IAf) were taken away from their Lives.
Some IAf were taken overseas as slaves (Yaquis and Aztecs to the Philippines, for example) and whole regions of Africa were stolen from IAf.

Not if you were from the other tribe. Not from the Arab slave traders. Not if you were captured in war. etc. Women have always had it the worst.
