I think a new rule of mine going forward is to just not share my opinion on things. Oh, 'you think the Native baby girl speaking her language in a Walmart is 'historical'!? You must think that because you think Indigenous people are in fact 'historical' and not still around!' That's not why that was tagged that way and no I don't think that, and yes languages of all manner are in fact historical since they all carry history and the experiences of their people's but what do I know. 'You wouldn't say that about Spanish or French!' I would, but also those languages weren't purposely suppressed via colonialism and beat out of the people that spoke them. Its not Gealic or Welsh, they're two of the most popular languages spoken due to colonialism too but at the same time I would still tag them 'historical' if what was being shown was in fact educational.
But what do I know. I'm not Cherokee, I don't know my Indigenous background so all I am is Black American. And it seems like its fine to just put people on blast for a misreading of whatever reading you had over my own simple tagging system. Especially over something I spent half my adult life studyingā I took classes in college to learn about these topics surrounding Indigenous culture, languages and artā but what the fuck do I know! Im just a dumb black bitch who should keep her mouth shut. Because obviously I think Indigenous Americans are not 'around' anymore, when thats the furthest thing from the truth. But no, that was my mistake for not wanting to tag a post about an important language with the subject of the video being babies 'prettythings' because I thought that would be weird, calling Indigenous kids 'things', so 'historical things' is how I tagged that post because ultimately it was about the language(s), and how its being kept alive. Which is good. But again, what the fuck do I know, I'm still just a black bitch who deserves to be put on blast for tagging a post I reblogged something as simple as 'historical' so that I could find it again to share it with others. But I'm done doing that shit, Im not going to share cultural posts anymore. Its better to just sit my black ass down, shut up and die.
And what sucks is I would never do this to someone else. But who cares....
Context to all of this: am i being a sensitive bitch or something. I don't think I am.
