i saw videos by Jaleesa and Kacey on TikTok which had maaadly twisted colonizer takes like as if all taino must know each other preemptively or all taino gotta be official academic researchers or all taino gotta be “connected” to claim their heritage, and if you deign to move before they approve—UH-OH!😂😂 girl if you don’t!!!!!!!😂
buenoooo needless to say if you come across their content be warned! its almost ragebait the false correlations they boldly state as fact😭😂 ughhh but as i‘ve noticed beforehand, its some problematic ideations coming from specifically NorthEast Taino.RELINQUISH the internalized colonizer!!!!
ohhh my god the worst one was like if you not ever having been to a powwow which already is not a taino thing IN THE ISLANDS, that is what they considered the litmus test for accepting you as taino with them😂 just say u only like other Hiwayawa taino and go! Ugh at this point i dont even like you! Those opinions were sooo mean and bully-like pretending to be accountability?? i hate that fake shit!! BE REAL BE CANDID BE LOVING.its like they want to seek to hate on other taino!! i dont like that
it makes me sad. they could have used their positions of influence to voice healing and instead voiced harm. i wonder how many taino have been harmed by their callous condescension.i had to block them bc i dont need that energy, but i wish the best for them.i wish the best for them and for all our people🌞
