HOODOO: “If freedom don’t ring, these “roots” gonna sing!!!!”

I got dressed in my traditional Indian regalia, but there was a man, he was the producer of the whole show. He took that speech away from me and he warned me very sternly. “I’ll give you 60 seconds or less. And if you go over that 60 seconds, I’ll have you arrested. I’ll have you put in handcuffs.”

- Sacheen Littlefeather in Reel Injun (2009), dir. Neil Diamond.

They were MAD, CONFUSED AND PRESSED that Marlon Brando would betray White Supremacy in this way. To this very day, they are TWISTED over this. And when Littlefeather got up there and READ THEM FOR FILTH, they GAGGED. For eons.

So I imagine there are people like me out there who’ve never even heard of Marlon Brando and are extremely confused over why this is important.

Marlon Brando was the Don in The Godfather, and in 1973, he was nominated for and won an Academy Award for it. However, he was also a huge Natives rights activist, and boycotted the ceremony because he felt that Hollywood’s depictions of Native Americans in the media led to the Wounded Knee Incident (which I was always taught as “the second massacre at Wounded Knee” but apparently that’s not the real name). He sent Sacheen Littlefeather, an Apache Native rights activist, in his stead. Wikipedia’s article on her explains the rest:

Brando had written a 15-page speech for Littlefeather to give at the ceremony, but when the producer met her backstage he threatened to physically remove her or have her arrested if she spoke on stage for more than 60 seconds.[5] Her on-stage comments were therefore improvised. She then went backstage and read the entire speech to the press. In his autobiography My Word is My Bond, Roger Moore (who presented the award) claims he took the Oscar home with him and kept it in his possession until it was collected by an armed guard sent by the Academy.

That is what this gifset is about.

You have GOT to read up on this. The Wounded Knee Incident, Marlon Brando and Sacheen Littlefeather, Anna Mae Aquash. ALL OF IT.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but she was also threatened with physical harm by actors that were there. I believe John Wayne aka the duke aka Marion Mitchell Morrison, was one of them. Reports said he had to be held back by others backstage.

On a segment called Face Off on a local Fox channel, Quanell X goes in on a white radio host about the painful truth of America’s racist history and HE DID NOT HOLD BACK. Shut it down. 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

Great. Now you wanna bring my people into your fight. The bullshit white version of the Lone Ranger was actually based on a black man who was a real life cowboy and had his own band of riders that killed hundreds of my people . You fucking black and white people don’t have the first fucking clue about us. Whites are too busy counting money and blacks to focused on Gucci and fake ass wealth. We have learned to elevate our minds and FORGIVE. We wouldn’t send any of your dumb asses back because we know together we are stronger . Separate we will die. All you people want to do is fight instead of forgiving and moving on. You ALL STOLE FROM US. ALL OF YOU. We forgive that. We forgive you. But you are testing our forgiveness when ANY OF YOU ACT INNOCENT. I have tribal elders scrolls that tell of ALL OF YOU KILLING OUR WOMEN MEN AND CHILDREN. But we forgive and move forward because moving backward is to die. I’m tired of this BE WOKE bullshit. Fucking grow up and work it the fuck out.

EXPLAIN TO ME HOW BLACK PEOPLE STOLE YOUR LAND WHEN THEY WERE STOLEN FROM THEIR LAND, BROUGHT HERE AGAINST THEIR WILL AND KEPT FROM GOING BACK TO THEIR HOME (WHICH BY THE WAY WAS DESTROYED BY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT US HERE). EXPLAIN FUCKING THAT?!

white people literally massacred millions of natives. they did such a thorough job of shitting all over your people that there are languages that are dead and gone because none of those people are around anymore. and are you going to forget y’all owned slaved too? fuckouttahere with the bullshit. you didn’t need to forgive us. we didn’t execute the trail of tears, the tiguex massacre, the massapequa massacre, the apalachee massacre and more. direct your anger properly. don’t fucking come here with the bullshit.

and for your information, bass reeves lived with native americans after escaping slavery (or as you would call it stealing the land from you) and during his time as a marshall killed less than 20 people. so stop with the fuckery of he killed “hundred of my people.” i swear this motherfuckers man.

As always, it’s black people vs the world.
