Fun fact

Native Americans weren’t allowed US citizenship until 1924.

Let that sink in. We lived here first…for thousands of years. And less than a hundred years ago we were finally given citizenship.

We also fought in WWI despite not being US citizens.

In Arizona, natives weren’t granted the right to vote until 1948. Think how that type of neglect ties into resource colonization as infrastructure was developed within years prior.

In addition: the indigenous peoples of Canada were not recognized as Human Beings until the year 1960. Now let that shit sink in.

In the US it wasn’t until 1968 that the Indian Civil Rights Act was passed and allowed for the right to freedom of speech / assembly / press, a jury trial, the right to an attorney etc. It’s so fucking frustrating.

and it wasn’t until 1978 that we were legally allowed to practice our own religions. in a nation founded on religious freedoms, it was illegal to practice our own religions. in our own country. how fucked up is that?

Aaaand Native Americans weren’t entitled to their own languages (had no legal rights to teach them in their schools, use them in business) until the Native American Language Act of 1990.

I teach this to my students, because NONE of it is in a single textbook. This is and act of indoctrination

[smallrevolutionary]

Boosting because I didn’t know any of this.

Richard Sherman Wants To Talk About Police Shootings, Not The Game

Richard Sherman took the stage to let the reporters and the world know his thoughts on peaceful protests by people who are kneeling during the National Anthem. He refused to answer any questions and  used the forum to address recent fatal police shootings of black men in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and in Charlotte, North Carolina, and to talk about the importance of the national anthem protests against police violence led by the 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick and other NFL athletes. 

This is what everyone needs to understand. It is an act to bring awareness to the social issues and to start doing something about it. People are dying in the streets from the hands of the police officers and there is nothing done about it. This problem is not even acknowledged by the society. This has to stop.

I just hope that one day—preferably when we’re both blind drunk—we can talk about it.
