A lot of y’all’s “Indigenous Faves” are anti-Black on the low 👀 and a lot of them are anti-Black in your face and are openly taking anti-Black actions and you watch in silence, knowing that Black Natives will likely be hurt by them moving up the political ladder.
I guess Indigenous representation doesn’t have to include protections for Black Indigenous folks. If @Deb4CongressNM gets appointed to Secretary of the Interior and makes Freedmen’s lives in Indian Territory worse or neglects us while in office, please remember you ignored our
warnings beforehand. We have been tweeting about this for awhile and many non-Black Natives with large platforms are actively ignoring her anti-Freedmen past. We need to call her out before she enters office.
Don’t start apologizing when #BlackLivesMatter starts trending again. Take active steps to avoid anti-Blackness now. I wholeheartedly believe that she can be held accountable before entering office but no non-Black Natives are doing so right now.
