Addressing the Situation with Visibility of Color

I have some things that I need to explain, but more importantly, some things that I need to apologize for. I've been thinking for the past several days about something that happened a year ago. I haven't been using tumblr for awhile but this needs to be said before I log off permanently. Firstly, I would like to say that I mishandled the situation. My words were rude and demeaning, and many of my comments were perceived as anti-Black. I would like to apologize for the damage that I caused with my words and actions. Secondly, I would like to explain this situation further, as I was defamed at the time and am being defamed again now.

Last year, I got into "discourse" with a friend, @/bootlegndn, as well as @/visibilityofcolor (VOC). I was sent a post made by VOC stating that Black people should be able to call themselves indigenous and that it should be a Black only discussion (read her post here) . I found this upsetting, as I felt this narrative was harmful to Native Americans, who are truly indigenous to to the Americas, as it changes the definition of indigenous which in turn dismisses the claim Native Americans have to our land and gives that to another people. 

So, I said something about it. I was overly aggressive about it. I shouldn't have been that way and should have thought more about what they meant instead of getting aggressive and calling them out. Many of my comments were perceived as anti-black. Regardless of what I meant, my words caused harm and I am sorry.   

In some posts, VOC stated that she meant that Black culture is indigenous to the Americas, which is true because that is its origin. It cannot be traced further back to another place. However, in other posts, she states that Black people ARE indigenous to America. She argues that Black Americans are not African because they have lost cultural ties to Africa. She does note that Black Americans “are not indigenous to America in the same way that Native Americans are” and that unless a Black person has Native American ancestry, they cannot call themself Native. 

While Black culture was created in the Americas, regardless of cultural ties or lack thereof, America is not where Black people originated. The only people who are indigenous to a place are those who were its first peoples. Ethnic groups and groupings of ethnicities are not considered to be indigenous to places they move to or are forcibly moved to if they are not the first people there because the origins of their group can be traced to another place. 

Now, I would like to address some claims that VOC has made about me, which began when this situation started and came back after @/bootlegndn’s apology. These claims are also VOC’s reasons for putting me on her DNI list. To date she has:

1. Claimed that I referred to Black people as “idiots”

2. Claimed that I told Black people to “go back to Africa”

3. Claimed that I compared Black people to White immigrants, settlers, and colonizers

To respond to the first point, I did not refer to Black people as idiots. I do admit to personally calling VOC an idiot and apologize for the insults and hate that I sent to her. The words I used were cruel and unnecessary.

The second point is completely untrue. I never told Black people to “go back to Africa”. VOC responded to one of my posts saying something along the lines of “I guess you just want all of us to go back to Africa to then”. This is where that rumor started. I never made that statement and it is not a view that I hold.

For the third point, I communicated one of my points poorly and can see where this misunderstanding came from. I used the example that Italians are not and never will be indigenous to the Americas because their ancestors are not from here. A mixed Italian American weighed in using their own ethnicity as an example, and I used it to further my point without realizing how it sounded in context.

I didn't mean to compare African Americans to colonizers with my analogy. I meant to say that living somewhere does not make you Native/indigenous to that place. The comparison I used was wrong because Black Americans as a whole aren't immigrants like Italians. They were forcefully brought here during slavery, via human trafficking. I apologize for my poor choices in words and comparisons.

Regardless, I still owe people apologies for the words I used and the way I handled the situation.I was wrong, I misunderstood the situation, behaved inappropriately, and spoke in an anti-black manner. This was my fault and I should have spent more time understanding VOC and other commenters rather than being aggressive and dismissive. I would also like to offer a better apology to the anon from earlier and everyone else who I have hurt by my actions. 

Earlier, an Anon stated that “all we're saying is our culture started in this land due to the complexities of slavery, which it did. Especially with ATRs.” (ATR=African Tribal Religion) I agree and I previously misunderstood what was being meant. Black culture was created in the Americas and ATRs were born through slavery and connection with indigenous people. ATRs are a big example of the positive connections our peoples have together. The way I reacted to what was said was not only anti-black but also disrespectful to our shared history as victims of settler colonialism from the very beginning of it. I understand that Black culture started in the Americas and will not argue against that. It is a true statement. As far as I can find now, VOC is the only one that argues Black people are indigenous to the Americas.

I sincerely apologize for the anti-blackness I have perpetuated. Regardless of intent, my words were wrong. I reacted poorly and without giving any thought to the impact of my words. It was not okay then and is not okay now. No matter what the subject matter and claims of the original post by VOC were, the way I handled the situation and the way that I spoke to @/visibilityofcolor and to others who joined the conversation was wrong and I am sorry. Again, I sincerely apologize for the pain my words and actions have caused as well as my handling of this entire situation up until this point.

 -Blake

(As I mentioned before I am planning to log off of Tumblr permanently. I am not sure if I will still have it up or if I will delete the entire blog as is. I will make this decision within the next week, but for now I am saying goodbye to all my followers.)

I was reading up on some of your arguments about African Americans and being indigenous to america. I'm not gonna lie, it was really hard to get through. You compared African Americans wanting to be indigenous to the lands to Italians and colonizers. All we're saying is our culture started in this land due to the complexities of slavery, which it did. Especially with ATRs. I was really shocked when i saw what you said. It was hurtful.

I'm sorry, I've read this many times recently and I finally understand what you mean, and it is not what I thought was meant. Yes, you are correct and what I said was hurtful and anti black, and coming from a place of ignorance and misunderstanding.

Yall know that “toxic masculinity” refers to expressions of masculinity that are toxic, right? it doesn’t imply that all masculinity is toxic- it’s used to talk about like, how people will repress their emotions aside from anger in order to seem “manly”, and how they might act in violent or self-destructive ways because that is what society expects of men.

masculinity is not inherently toxic. it hasn’t been poisoned or corrupted. it is a neutral concept, a kind of gender presentation, and it doesn’t make you a bad, unhealthy, or toxic person to be masculine.

masculinity does not need to be “soft” to be acceptable, it can just be neutral. because it is not toxic, just sometimes expressed in toxic ways or for toxic reasons.

[ninjakittenarmy]

Does this mean there is toxic femininity?

[nothorses]

imo? Yes.

Like when white women fake cry to win arguments, or to appear to be the victim (despite how much damage they may have caused), or when female abusers point to their femininity as a reason they couldn’t possibly be hurting anyone. Or when the girls in school weaponize their performances of femininity against more androgynous, less traditionally attractive, or more masculine girls.

Plenty of cis women have a similarly toxic relationship to femininity as cis men do to masculinity. A good example of a less material expression might be the tendency to self-martyr, using the “caregiver” role to guilt trip and gaslight, and abuse in a more manipulative, emotional/mental way than the physical aggression more typical with toxic masculinity.

The patriarchy rewards gender conformity, and requires cis people of both genders to uphold it. Cis women are at a structural disadvantage to cis men regardless, but can absolutely gain more social power by adhering more strictly to traditional femininity- and weaponize that power against others.

Land Back: A Guide to Returning Stolen Land To Your Indigenous Community By Corinne Rice and Andrew Perera

Today’s lesson is written in partnership with my younger brother Andrew. He holds a Masters of Jurisprudence in Indian Law from the University of Tulsa, College of Law. He and I worked very hard on this lesson for you guys and hope to give you all a better understanding of the process of returning land to Tribal Nations and some action items for you too!

Let’s start with the colonial understanding of land ownership and how that differs from the Indigenous idea of land stewardship. When we say “Land back!” We are forced to argue this within the colonial construct of ownership, so that we can have our lands to practice stewardship. Care of the land. Traditionally we as indigenous people (and I speak for my cultures not pan-indigenously) do not OWN land. We cannot own your mother.

But because we exist in a space that is controlled by a federal government that requires things like deeds of trust etc, we fight in that arena. With their tools. We were forced to sign Treaties. A colonial construct as well, but we understand that the Wasicu (white man) values his legal papers.

Now that we have that understanding… Can land belong to a Tribal Nation? Yes! But we need to talk about Johnson v. McIntosh first.

In 1823 the Supreme Court saw a case that started what many know to be the Holy Trinity of fucking over Tribal nations and sovereignty. Johnson v. McIntosh established the idea that Tribal Nations were incompetent and unable to care for their own lands, and deemed entire nations to be “wards of the federal gov.” Tribal lands were then decided to be held in trust and managed for tribal nations. Doing this started a chain of events that still effect nations today. Things like funding for Indian Health Services and other necessary funding can be withheld by the federal gov if they requirements.

So you want to give your land back..

Let’s say Joe Smith, a farmer from South Dakota decides he wants to give his 120 acres of land back to the Lakota Nation. Here’s how he could do it.

He would start by presenting to the Tribal Council at their next council meeting, showing his land, that he wants to return it to the Tribe, and would then sign over his land deed to the tribe.

He would still be able to live on his land, the tribe would not have access to it. He could still farm etc. The main difference would be that his land would now fall under tribal jurisdiction and not state. He would pay Tribal taxes on his property and not state tax. The details of this varies by nation so if this is appealing to you, ask!

The tribe would submit that transfer of land title to the federal gov., and then the government would add that land into their trust. This takes 1-5 years to finalize.

So when has this worked successfully ??

Many many times! Mostly farmers and land owners, there have even been successful transfers of land back to tribal nations from cities! / End id ]

Bastins (whites) will put anything into their bio except their race and expect me to listen to their racist rants.

[yourladyindank]

What the fuck does that first word even mean like

Like what are we doin here?

[chainsawmansheart]

“Bastins” is the Modoc (my tribe) word for “white people” which is why I put (whites) next to it. Are you guys really this dumb or is it just something you going through?

[yourladyindank]

Who the fuck is you guys? And why is not knowing a word in a language I don’t speak, failing to be able to look it up, and then askin about it being dumb or “going through” something?

Am I no longer allowed to ask what’s goin on? Like do you need a tea?

[chainsawmansheart]

The translation is literally right beside the word😂😂😂😂

[yourladyindank]

Okay?? But translation from what is the damn question. Is it slang? Another language? A cultural reference?? Really out here actin a fool because people wanna know more and be educated on the subject.

[chainsawmansheart]

And you looked up a turkey baster?

[yourladyindank]

I looked up anything that came up with bastin and explored all my options, especially because people have been known to make fun of white for their cookin skills, but keep makin yaself look like THAT

[twofacetoo]

Yeah I’m looking on several different sites offering translations of dialects from the Modoc and Klamath tribes and not a single one is giving me results for ‘Bastin’

The closest I got was the word ‘balbal’, which refers to the colour white, but that’s only as a colour and nothing else

You’re gonna have to start busting out some proper receipts for this at this point

[chainsawmansheart]

Are you guys really that pressed about me knowing my indigenous language and you not?😭😂

Indian: *word in their language* (English trans) etc etc

Second Nations/Bastins: *completely misses the translations and makes themselves look dumb so they proceed to try and school the INDIAN on THEIR language*

Bc again second nations/bastins are fucking clowns

ATTENTION

The US government just killed Lezmond Mitchell, a Native American man.

It is against the law for the US Government to order the death of a tribal citizen without the approval of the corresponding sovereign Nation's approval. The Navajo Nation (to whom Mitchell belongs) actively campaigned against his execution. This is the first execution of a Native American by the occupying US government in modern times.

This is a Big Fucking Deal.

[skye-in-the-death-star-deactiva]

We need to stop missing out information.

These people where advocating AGAINST the execution of a child killer.

The US government ignored the legal system with no repercussions but if they hadn't they would be paying to keep a child killer alive.

[carryonmyfallencas]

That's not the point of the post. The point here is that federal government had no right to decide the punishment against this man. If you allow the government to break its own laws, you're opening the door for that law to cease to exist.

In this case, the Navajo nation has sovereignity, which means that for that murderer to be killed, their approval was necessary.

Native Americans have nations of their own, and that's the real issue here. No one is defending a child murderer, they're defending a nation's right to self-determination and to pass out judgement to their own citizens.

[lifetime-of-scars]

it’s also important to point out the navajo nation weren’t advocating for his release or anything, they just wanted his sentence commuted to life without possibility of parole. America is one of the few western states that still upholds the death penalty, so it’s not all that shocking that people - even the natives the media tries to depict as savages - don’t support the punishment

[grungegoths]

Yall really be like  “Im a mean cishetphobe who oppresses cishet people for a living >:’) “  then spend all your online time harassing bi/pan,ace and other lgbtqa people just bc they existed in a way you dont like, and rarely call out actual cishet people lol
