I'm deeply disgusted by the hit piece on Rebecca Roanhorse going around today (no, not linking, cuz you don't need to read it) and I'm of the firm belief that a lot of this toxicity is born out of anti-Blackness. Still, we need to be centering Native voices speaking against it.
To that end I'll link to this post that dismantles that hit piece quite thoroughly. It's by @KaylaWayla20 (you should follow them!). https://twitter.com/KaylaWayla20/status/1276030959918305280
Here are other tweets/threads by Native folks. https://twitter.com/ItancanWin/status/1276174476225413121
Happy to add more tweets/links to this thread later if folks want to send my way.
Also, I'll re-up something I said a few days ago: white folks need to keep quiet on this one (except for words of support) cuz this is a convo for Black and Native folks to have. If you must, please restrict yourself to boosting our voices. https://twitter.com/tinytempest/status/1274838261102284800
Bottom Line: I stand with Rebecca. I stand against anti-Blackness no matter where it comes from.
