Title: Black Dissent And a Broader Indigeneity Date: JUNE 21, 2020 Language: en Topics: Black Anarchism, indigenous anarchism, Indigenous Anarchist Federation Source: Retrieved on 2020-12-28 from https://iaf-fai.org/2020/06/21/black-dissent-and-a-broader-indigenity-a-tail-of-being-gaslight/
Being gaslit by non Black Indigenous people is exhausting.
The tweets I’ve gotten for daring to ask white proximity indigenous to
not talk over black and brown indigenous are, dare to say downright
harm. More black cause Brown indigenous have piled on too. Anti
blackness. These fuckers really think they’re exempt from being called
out for anti-Blackness and got mad when I said they have a close
proximity to whiteness. This kind of shit is what Black Indigenous deal
with constantly. One even dare to say that Black Indigenous is a US only
concept.
Okay insert appropriate gif here.
This brings me to my next point:
Not only is this a dismissive deflection. It superimposes a violent
settler state name on to me a stolen person from Africa. I have every
right to talk about anti-Blackness no matter where it is. The madness
comes from Brazilians who’s country is highly anti-Black. Telling me I
know nothing. I know anti-Black violence.
Did they forget they were colonized by the Spanish and the Portugese who
brought African slaves. They have a centuries head start on colonial
America. And while there are some differences. It’s relatively the same
given the larger concept of European colonialism.
Really all this shit just amounts to the silencing of Black dissent,
because blackness is seen as a stain on Indigeneity in their eyes.
I only ask non-Black indigenous to consider there position as it relates
to Black indigenous. To which they response with attempts to silence,
erasure of Black Indigeneity, calling me an American, i.e. imposing a
settler label on a stolen African, downright denial of colorism among
indigenous people, the ignorant belief that these points I raise are
strictly US concepts. Conclusion it doesn’t matter the culture or
whatever Anti-blackness is a common thread shared among all non-Black
people.
