The video sharply deconstructs the bureaucratic mechanisms of historical erasure, exposing how legal reclassification was weaponized to facilitate land theft. It serves as a vital corrective to the myth of indigenous disappearance by highlighting the ongoing resilience of sovereign tribes.

THE NATIVES AMERICANS ARE STILL HERE! ( They Lied To You!)Added:
The whole nobody is illegal on stolen land argument is [ __ ] [music] First of all, not one single place, not one single city, country, anything on this earth is owned by its original owners.
Second of all, [music] the part of Mexico that is now the US was bought.
Third of all, the Native American land that was stolen was conquered, which is kind of just how the world worked at the [music] time.
>> Lock in [ __ ] [ __ ] We about to fact check this [ __ ] First, if you [ __ ] with me, check out that podcast. Let's get it. What the hell are you talking about?
Originally, I wasn't going to reply to this argument, but it got a million views. So, I got to reply to this argument because it doesn't make sense because when we talk about America and indigenous land, the land was stolen. A lot of people make the argument that the indigenous land was conquered by the American people, so they deserve the land, which is not true. I want to make this clear. Indigenous people did face massacres and they were displaced. But that is just one part of how America took indigenous land. But when you actually do the research into this history, you realize a lot of these conquered land was stolen because of the treaties that they were broken or the bad deals that were made. And this is why we can say that indigenous land was stolen because when we see the constitution and what they define treaties, these are legal statutes.
That's why we see the treaty of hope, the treaty of Greenville. We see the United States broke their treaties in numerous ways. They also made treaties with tribe members that didn't have the position to make treaties with them. And we have the Indian removal act. Then we had the appropriation acts which didn't see the indigenous people as a sovereign nation. Then we had the Dolls Act which forced indigenous land to be owned by private owners. So no, they didn't conquer indigenous land. They stole indigenous land with illegal business practice.
>> All those liberals saying that this land belongs to the indigenous people. I have one question for you. Do you know a purebred 100% indigenous person living in the US today? And I mean mixed with nothing because you're saying it belongs to the indigenous people. So it needs to be 100% indigenous person. You know them. No, you don't know them because this land was conquered, settled, and colonized.
So no, that doesn't mean that modernday, and I'm talking modernday Mexican citizens can break modernday immigration and border laws. It doesn't mean that. It doesn't. Cuz there's no such thing as a 100% indigenous person anymore. There's not. There's There's not There's not. [gasps] [sighs] [clears throat] He really does love the uneducated.
[laughter] Honey, have you heard of tribal land where millions of Native Americans live today? your entire argument falls apart the moment you remember that reservations exist. And shifting the argument from indigenous sovereignty to modern immigration as if bringing up Mexicans somehow disproves Native Americans existence or land rights. It doesn't. Those two things are completely different issues. Be sure to hit that follow button so you never miss any of my political sass. And while you're at it, click the link in my bio and help support the Unfuck America tour cuz we're clearly [ __ ] right now.
>> Europeans come to this continent, literally ethnically cleanse the indigenous population out of existence, kill them on a scale that has hardly been equal, and refer to them as savages. That's an achievement. Who's the savage? The first time I encountered this was in a little town in Massachusetts called Deerfield. It's a reconstruction of what that little town looked like in colonial America. And in front of each house is a plaque that explains something about this house. And then description. On the 18th of October of 1702, the savages attacked. The first time I saw this, the savages. You come in here, destroy everything these people have, and they are the savages. That's That's an interesting move.
>> It is. You know, >> I hadn't thought of that before. Think about it.
>> Hey, who told you Native Americans have gone extinct? That right there is a very big lie.
A lot of people still think these people were wiped out. like they disappeared, right? But that's not true. [snorts] That's not true. Yes, Native Americans went through colonization, you know, forced removal, violence, cultural removals, you know, you know, events like the trail of tears devastated entire community.
But devastated does not even mean extinct.
A lot of people feel, oh, why are we giving them their land? They're saying we should give them their land. They're extinct. Who told you that? Who told you that? Today, there are millions of Native Americans still alive in the United States. Over 500 plus federally recognized tribes still exist. Are you shocked?
Now nations like you know they have the Naja nations, the Cherokee nations, then they have the Seak nations.
These are not history. These are living people, living cultures.
So anybody who tells you that these people have gone extinct and [clears throat] that oh their stolen lands cannot be given to them anymore, oh stop claiming stolen lands, you're lying. Anyways, I have these videos for you to actually watch, right? Please watch these videos till the end and then we'll come back with the commentaries.
Okay, do not forget, credit goes to the creators. Yeah, we'll be back with the commentaries. Let's take it away.
>> I used to think Native Americans were extinct. In my early 20s, I got thrown in a county jail in Montana. I called home to New York and told my mom what was up. I also told her that they had the strangest Mexicans in Montana.
[laughter] >> And my mom said, and I quote, "Wild Mexicans don't live that far north."
After a few weeks, I called home again and said, "Ma, these aren't Mexicans.
They're Indians." And she told me, "Don't be stupid. Indians are extinct."
>> What in the world? I said, "Yo, that's what I thought, but they're right here, like 20 of them in real life." Turns out they never were extinct.
>> Oh my god.
>> I just lived in urban areas and they looked and acted completely differently than the ones that live on the reservation.
>> That is wild. Oh, if you live in New York City and you're like, "No, there's these things called reservations." A bunch of them and they're like, "Okay, so is it like a country?" Like, "No, no, no. It's in this country." And like, so it's like a place they live within the place they live, but it they lived here first. It is a strange concept if you've never lived in a place that was like near a reservation.
>> I know Native Americans is tired of hearing white people talk about illegal immigration.
How how you going to talk about illegal immigration when you the OG illegal immigrant?
We're living in an upside down world because Native Americans got to be sick and tired of hearing everybody talk about illegal immigration and not be native.
I I I know they got I know they got to be tired sick.
>> I don't care what preacher I don't care what medicine man, shaman. [music] We're we're humans and the best teacher to [music] wake you up is mother earth.
The best teacher is the water, the trees, the wind. [music] It's as simple as going to a river, an ocean, [music] and putting your hands in there.
It's as simple [music] as that. And then those who are in a forest like this [music] is actually touching a mother tree.
[music] And what happens inside you?
It triggers. [music] It triggers the spiritual awakening [music] that has been covered has been [music] fought to be taken out of you.
Because once [music] you turn up the volume and from what colonization has done, [music] then you hear and you hear the spirits. Don't [music] forget that because it was everywhere, not just here among native people.
>> All right, racist.
>> They're warriors. From the very beginning, black Americans have been a vital part of the American story, helping to make this the greatest nation in the history of the world. Let's continue to correct the propaganda and the attempt at erasing the truth. Black Americans are not the descendants of the Indians in the history books. They are the Indians. The proof has been buried, but it's not gone. When Christopher Columbus washed up on these shores, lost and delirious. Who did he write that he found? He called them Indos. He mapped a land he labeled India superior territory that included Florida. He wasn't hallucinating an empty land. He was documenting people who were already there. These images can be found in Grand Canaria, Spain at the Columbus Museum, Casa De Colon. And who were those people? They weren't the pale skinned Siberians who crossed a land bridge. That's for sure. The historical records, the artwork from the era, the very descriptions, they detail people with dark skin, with hair textures that Europeans had never seen. They describe the original people as dark-kinned and wooy-haired, the true owners of the soil. The people that Columbus met were black Americans, the West Indians of the Caribbean, the Indians of the North and South American coasts. All of these territories were black civilizations.
Native Americans are the eraser. They are the last part of the destiny swap, a foreign invasive group from Siberia and was grafted onto the identity of the people who were already here. While the original people were systematically reclassified, enslaved, and renamed to sever their claim to the land. The Indian Removal Act was a removal of black indigenous nations. The face on the old nickel, the Buffalo nickel, that proud profile was a black indigenous man, an American Indian. Every time someone speaks about Native American history while pointing to a group that arrived later, they are perpetuating the final stage of the conquest, the theft of the victim's identity. They replace the people and the story. Black Americans are not a people without a land. They are the land. They are India superior. There are the Indians that Columbus couldn't miss and that every power since has tried to make you unsee.
The map doesn't lie. The history books do.
The Native Americans could have won the war against the colonizers, but they lost because they're too good of people.
If you've ever studied Native American history or read books like an indigenous people's history, United States or Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, you find out very quickly that the Native American people were absolutely amazing people.
You see how incredible and capable and fierce these people were. And at some point you begin to ask yourself, how did they lose? Especially when they won so many battles against the US government.
And every time the government would lose, they would ask for peace. They would sign a treaty and then immediately break that treaty. But when you see how many battles the Native Americans won against US soldiers, you just have to ask yourself, how did they lose? And the reason is because they were too good of people. Because even though their warriors were better than the US soldiers, even though they were better strategists than the US soldiers, the reason they lost is because they don't have evil in their heart. They didn't have hatred in their heart. They wouldn't resort to dirty tactics like starving people. They wouldn't resort to dirty tactics like hurting innocent women and children. Whereas the US Army would go into villages where they knew the men weren't there and they would burn the teepeees and they would attack the women, attack the children. They would burn their winter supplies and starve them out. And the Native Americans didn't do this. Not only was it frowned upon in the Native American community to attack innocents, any of their tribe that did do it, they immediately turned on them. They turned on their own people, chastised their own people for committing those type of crimes. And this is ultimately what led to their defeat. Because when you're fighting an enemy that has no morals, how can you win if you actually have a heart? Native Americans had a good heart. They had a moral compass that kept them from resorting to dirty tactics like the US Army would. And they were always willing to accept peace.
They tried over and over and over again.
Over 300 treaties were signed by the Native Americans in the name of peace and the US government broke every single one of them. And despite all the good in their hearts and all the time and time again that they showed how good of people they were, they still history remembers them as savages. Even though the real savages, the ones really doing the scalping was the American army. They had such good hearts that they would go out of their way and at great cost to their own well-being and safety to protect innocents. And because they were such good people and they were willing to put themselves in harm's way to protect innocents, the US Army used that against them. And every time the Native Americans would come to the table for peace and sign a treaty in the name of peace, the soldiers would wait until the defenses of the Native Americans were down and then they'd attack them anyway.
Because who's going to hold them accountable? No one. It's just heartbreaking to realize that the reason why the Native Americans were almost completely wiped out, the reason they lost all of their lands, all of their rights, all of their true freedom, because they had true freedom, the reason they lost all of that is because they were such good people because their hearts were actually good and pure and it cost them everything. Why is it that 9% of South Dotans are Native American yet they make up 40% of the South Dakota prison population and 70% of the foster children in South Dakota are Native American? If we're not watching the continued genocide of Native American peoples in real time, the school to prison pipeline, the eraser of their community and existence, if that's not what this is, someone please explain it to me otherwise. I just got these facts from a creator. I will tag them below. But this has been going on for hundreds of years, generation to generation, not only in South Dakota, but New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam. I just feel like this like deep hollowess that the people who are native to this land are being torn away from it. Their families being torn apart, their traditions being lost, their languages being eradicated.
And if someone's like, "Oh, it's virtuous talk to talk about it." It's just like how can you not talk about it?
Like how can this not be something that you just like think about every day? And I just hope that like if you hear it then you can't unhear it and the more that you hear it like these phones keep us anesthetized like numb but they also give us like a conduit to connect to each other and like the this is the first time that I'm learning about so many things. And I guess like at least waking up is the first step to action. I don't know just like please please hear this like genocide isn't just happening you know in Palestine, Congo, Tigra, Sudan. It's also happening here with native peoples.
>> I would like to apologize to every single indigenous American out there.
Yesterday I saw something that really broke my heart and quite honestly made me feel sick to my stomach.
I didn't realize how bad racism was towards the indigenous people of America until I got on Facebook yesterday and I saw um lots of businesses and Facebook pages posting happy indigenous people's day and under the comments um I went through them and I saw some really horrendous things.
Of course, there was lots of laugh reactions and a lot of [clears throat] Trump go Trump MAGA it's Columbus Day.
you you misspelled Columbus Day things and some really disgusting things, calling you guys savages and saying that Christopher Columbus should have done more and he should have finished you guys off. And um I did not know I didn't know that people were still racist towards Native Americans because I've never seen it.
I'm not Native and I don't know anyone who is so I don't see it. And um I just assumed that everyone was just cool with Native Americans because you know even when you meet like the most racist of white people for some reason they always claim that they're the descendant of a Cherokee princess. They're always the descendant of a Cherokee princess or even Pocahontas and they'll say it with their full chest or even claim to be, you know, have been accepted into some tribe. They're an honorary member or something like that. And so I thought everybody was just chill with Native Americans. I mean, you guys were here first and literally, how can you have a problem with Native Americans? But I guess it's just my innocent non-racist mind. I can't think. I don't know how to think in any other way than with love and respect for indigenous people and all cultures for that matter. I don't I don't hate like that. I don't think like that.
And so I just I guess I wanted to apologize and not probably not just on behalf of myself but for many other people who didn't know um the racism you guys face um because we don't see it. But I'm embarrassed.
I'm very embarrassed as an American with how you guys are still being treated.
It's Yeah, the comments that I read, I have some regrets for reading them, but I'm glad I did because it because it really opened my eyes to to what you guys are still going through. And for that, I am truly sorry, and I truly hope that things will change for you guys immediately.
So, I went to DC over the weekend, and while I was there, I visited the Native American Museum. And when I tell you the tears, I cried. Let's let's get into it.
First of all, I have this really deep connection and protective feeling over Native Americans. And a lot of people will say like, "Oh, there's Native America. There's some Native Americans that don't like black people." I don't care. Maybe I'm stupid. Maybe I'm dumb.
I don't care. But the I I don't it I don't know if it's like once I really learned the history um cuz you know the propaganda they teach us in school. I learned about the history of Native Americans on my own when I was very young. And since then, I've had this [clears throat] like I've written papers about it. I've talked to indigenous people about it. I've I feel strongly about these feelings and I don't care what your personal like beliefs are.
This is how I feel. I say all that to say, my spiritual journey is incredibly And you know what? Now that I think about it, I definitely have an ancestor that's native because I have a great-grandfather who refuses to talk about his native side um because one of his parents was native and that was because way back when black people and Native Americans were not supposed to intermingle at all. [snorts] And so he refuses to talk about that side which is quite sad. But I know that there's an ancestor like and I could feel listen this is where it gets woo woo click off at this time. But I could feel that ancestor being like, "You need to learn about this. You need to cry. You need to feel these feelings because this is this is how I felt. This is how I feel." And I mean, I could go into like the actual facts of Native American history and why it's so important to not erase what they went through and along with what black people went through because I feel like they definitely go hand in hand. a lot more there. There's a lot more parallels than people realize.
>> What tribe do you come from?
>> Navajo Nation.
>> Navajo. See, and I I I'm Cherokee. And I never knew I was special for being Cherokee until I came to DC. Cuz where I'm from, everybody's Indian or wants to be. Uh and and when I came up here, Tom Cole was the first one that came up to me. He said, "Congratulations. We just doubled the size of our Native American caucus, Native American caucus as back in 2013." And I was like, "What do you mean?" He's like, "Well, I'm Chickasaw and you're Cherokee." And I said, "Yeah, we taught you how to read and write."
No, I'm kidding. Um, and and we joked about it because sometimes there's a misunderstanding, but what they don't understand about Indian country, and tell me if I'm wrong, is we don't look at the world through an RD lens. We look at it from our heritage perspective. Would you agree with that?
>> Yes, sir. and and and sometimes people that aren't from Indian country and they're not native, they just they don't understand it. They don't get it because politics is the world and they want to make a big difference about it. They want to make a big thing about it. But at the end of the day, tribal issues, it's a federal responsibility we have.
And so you can separate the politics out of it because we have an obligation.
And in your role, I have to ask, are you going to fulfill that obligation?
>> Yes, sir. There there's no RD um by any tribe's name.
>> We need to stop calling ourselves immigrants. I'm not an immigrant. My my parents aren't immigrants. My grandparents aren't immigrants. Where maybe my grandparents were migrants. Our people existed from in Alaska to Chile from the beginning of time. My people are the sleeping giant. As soon as we realize what we have within us, as soon as we realize who our ancestors are, as soon as we realize where our lands are, it's over.
>> I just said we are native. We're Native American. We are US citizens. [music] And it just didn't matter. [crying] >> You help us. We're citizens. Beth, get your ID. Okay.
>> Okay. Beth.
Can you explain what happened last week?
>> Yeah, this was literally just the day day before one of the Rene good got shot. I was like I was just freaked out like they want to they [music] don't want to stop nowhere where they where nobody will see you know. It felt like I was getting kidnapped like they rushed me literally rushed me out my aunt's car and handcuffed me, threw me in their car and try to keep me down, put my hoodie up and they don't even care if you got your identification. They'll take you.
Like they're just evil [music] people. I didn't think I had nothing to worry about cuz I was a US citizen, you I'm half Mexican, half native. You know, that ain't matter though to him.
>> How does it feel to be stopped by federal immigration agents as a Native American?
>> We thought we were safe. You are from here. We are native. We are the original. It's don't be scared. They can't do anything. Can't touch us. We are untouchable. Seeing what had happened to us and to my nephew, it's we are a nobody to these agents. About a month prior, I was driving over here and um I was coming up to a stop and I didn't know it was ICE agents and they were and they started yelling and I rolled my window a little and I said, "What?" And he said, "Coming for you."
And I said, "I'm Native American." And he says, "Yeah, you're next." [music] Any immigrant, I can imagine the fear that they are living currently. Just want people to admit, the people who are in power to admit what they did to my people years ago.
It doesn't take much to apologize, to say we're sorry for what happened, for the treatment that was given to your people at one time.
That's all we want. We want want them to admit they did the things that were done to my people.
That's what we want. We want them to acknowledge that their ancestors anyway.
That's the thing that really bothers me because like I said, they don't know us.
They don't understand our ways. It wasn't until 1978, 1978, were we allowed to openly worship our creator the way that we've always worshiped him, the way we talked about him, the things that we thought about him. It's never mentioned about my people and their religion.
That's why the pilgrims when you as the were asked why did you come to this country? We came here because of the freedom of religion.
Okay. They had their freedom but they took ours away from us. We couldn't we couldn't worship the way that we always worshiped. And we believe in God.
One God. We believe in the same God that everyone does.
But they didn't I don't know. They didn't pay no attention to us. They done things for the native people. True. But they didn't get >> Hey, it's time to talk about the open unforgivable racism towards Montana's Native Americans from people like Ryan Zinci and Tim Shehy. Just this week, the Trump administration, they forced the National Park Service to take down signs like this one that explained the Baker Massacre where over 200 black feet were killed by the cavalry in 1870. Most of them women and children. Apparently, we're not supposed to know about that.
What's Ryan Zinci do? Sets her like a bump on a log. Doesn't care. And then they force the Northern Cheyenne to take down signs about the Battle of the Little Bigghorn. Really, it's the Battle of the Greasy Grass. Or, you might know it as where Kuster got his ass kicked.
Apparently, we're not supposed to know about that. The Northern Cheyenne are upset, and they should be. What Zincy do? Sits there, does nothing, doesn't care. And then you have Tim Shehy attacking birthright citizenship. The same tactic that's been used to go after Native American citizenship in this country for decades. What's Ryan Zinci do? Nothing. Sets her like a bump on a log. Doesn't care. Look, it's open racism. It's wrong. It's immoral. It needs to stop. I'm Ryan Busy. I'm running for Congress to change this [ __ ] >> A huge reason why I think people need to be educated on like American history is because there's an active movement right now within the black community that is directly erasing indigenous people. like indigenous people. And I think that it's really sick because I did an entire essay about this in my um in one of my English classes this semester where I literally spoke about the white supremacist ideology that infiltrates the black mind is creating destruction amongst the diaspora. And it is a very bad thing and we actively have to decolonize our minds. But that can't happen because of the white supremacist belief that African Africans are inherently inferior. And I need people to clock into that because people don't want to be just black and that's okay. But it's really not because claiming that you are indigenous or something and you really don't know where you're and then calling yourselves the first American, you're actively erasing people who have been here and a whole other layer of history.
And instead of looking at the intersectionality, we are now taking credit for being indigenous and that has nothing to do with us. Like before Haitians were even on the island, a whole other demographic of people lived there and now we just call it Haiti and Dominican Republic. How is that fair?
Like that's not fair at all. Like the way that uh California was incredibly racist and discrimin uh discriminatory towards Mexican-Americans and indigenous people is crazy because this is their land, specifically California. A braid is so significant to us as Lakota people because in in our culture, women are the next best thing to God. And the reason why we understand that and believe in that way is because I've never seen a male of any species give birth. Only the females. They have a great gift and that is to give life. And so we wear our hair in two separate braids as men to honor the women because if it weren't for the women, we couldn't be here as men. And so it takes three strands to make a braid. One strand represents the higher power. Second strand represents the earth, which is also our body. And the third strand represents our soul, our spirit. And all three are brought together as one. And so it's a reminder of how we must conduct our lives. to this walk of life.
>> How did the American Indian become negro? And we're going to take it way back to Walter Plucker, even though it's a part one.
All right, buckle in because I'm about to discuss something that needs to be discussed. And as you know, I only speak about facts and truth and share my own experience and my own truth. So, here it goes. How did the American Indian become Negro? And we're going to take it way back to Walter Plucker. Even though, as you guys know, I do not like even saying his name. I don't like giving his name energy or power or any of that. But in order to explain this, I have to talk about Walter Pluger. And for those of you that don't know who he is, an advocate for racial purity. He is the one that changed documents that forced people to change their race from American Indian to Negro and also threatened and forced people to change their race. He was also in charge of the vital statistics and records in Virginia, but he heavily influenced all the neighboring states around him. He was for racial purity and segregation in Virginia. He also believed in the one drop rule which classified anybody who had any like percentage or any bit or even looked apart of being darker complexion or having a darker complexion as negro. And like I said, he threatened he forcefully made people change their race on documentation. This was basically an effort to erase Native American history, Native American culture, and just the people in general.
Not only was his policy horrendous by all means, but it is the root of people not knowing who they are, confusion, identity issues, lost history, lost culture, and personally I have been affected by this man's atrocities. But don't get me wrong, this is not me saying that all people who are brown or indigenous or native or American Indian, and I don't even like using the term Indian, but we have all of this divide currently within so many different communities because people are trying to erase native and indigenous culture and stating that anybody who is brown is native or indigenous when in fact that's not the truth. And I've made numerous videos speaking about this. What I am currently speaking about is the fact that so many native people were forced to change the race and it was made that way on records and documents. So every generation after that basically was deemed as negro and not actually American Indian or Native American or Native or indigenous, whichever verbiage you'd like to use.
And I was able to find the records of my family where the race was changed.
By forcing Native Americans to change their racial designation to Negro, Walter Plucker and others sought to erase Native American culture, Native American identity, while also enforcing segregation. This was part of a broader historical pattern of discrimination and marginalization of native indigenous and all people of color of the United States. So you ask why was this so enforced? Why was this so successful?
Racial purity ideology. Walter Plucker and so many others thought that the continuation of Native American culture, history, the people, or any people of color really, were going to dilute the purity of the white race. They saw all mixed races, including black, native, anybody who was of brown complexion that wasn't white, basically, as a threat to harming the white population. The one drop rule.
I'm sure you've heard this before, but basically it means if you had a single drop of African ancestry in you that you were deemed to be black. This became a super strict radical way of segregating and creating a hierarchy system and classification system of the population.
Social control. Enforcing the designation of Negro on Native Americans meant social control. They were able to control more people. This again limited their rights and what they could do as people. Subjecting them to discrimination, segregation, and continuing to push that narrative for white purity. Assimulation policies. The government actually believed that assimilating Native Americans would basically and ultimately get rid of their culture. The goal was to get them to assimilate into the white mainstream culture, ultimately changing their race to something that it wasn't, and then making them or forcing them to assimilate to white culture. The aim was to maintain social and racial hierarchy, but also again control over marginalized communities. And just to add a little note in here that so many families have been affected by Walter Plucker.
Initially, I believe that Walter Plucker influenced Virginia and Virginia only.
But the more I've learned, the more I've researched my own family history, I have learned that he had his hand in numerous states, surrounding states of Virginia, which ultimately changed the narrative and changed the culture, the history of so many people. so many people who believe that they are black or as we call them here in the United States African-American which I don't even like that term because you don't call people European American you don't call them Asian-American but the population African-Americans are the only ones with that title and so many of them are actually not in fact that but they are native and indigenous to the Americas and again don't get this twisted and say that I'm saying that black people are the original people of America because that is not what I'm saying. Native people are the original inhabitants of North America. And again, so many people don't realize how deep their family history goes. And the fact that I was able to finally find the documentation that states that my family's race was changed is just mind-blowing to say the least. Make sure you follow for part two because I'm going to dive into this a lot deeper. I hope it helped. See, black folks know why they're here. Native peoples know why they're here and how they got here.
A lot of Asian folk know, particularly if they're Chinese American, they know they got here because their ancestors were brought over to work on the railroads by the railroad barons who didn't care if thousands of them died, laying track 19, 20 hours a day. But for those of us who are from Europe, we have this fiction that we've told and we believe it even though there's no truth to it. You know what the fiction is?
It's two parts. Number one, we say things like with regard to Mexicans coming over the border, with regard to immigrants coming over, but only that border. That's the only one we care about, right? The southern border. I find that interesting. We're not flipping out about Canada, right? We don't have any of the Minute Man or the anti-immigrant groups sitting off the coast of Nova Scotia with a gun and a scope trying to like pick off the sneaky Canadians that are trying to sneak in here for our superior healthcare system, which after all would be a pretty stupid thing to do. But in any event, we only care about that one border, forgetting for a minute that that border was created at the end of a war that was started on false pretense by this country, after which we jacked half of their country. And you weren't taught that in school either because our history books aren't interested in telling the truth until this very patriotic history that has no relationship to the fact. So that border is artificial. Mexican folk who are coming here, documented or not, let's be clear, are coming home. Their families were here before our families were here in almost every instance. But we forget that. And then we say things like, "Well, I don't mind them coming. I just want them to come legally like my people did."
The hell does that even mean? Come legally? There was no law to break when our people came. the fact that we didn't break a law that didn't even exist. You don't get cookies for that. You don't get like a pat on the back and a gold star because your great great great whatever was law-abiding when there was no law that he could have violated even if he wanted to. But we've told this lie that we came for these upstanding principles. So we'll say things like, well, you know, our people came for liberty and freedom, democracy. These people are just coming for stuff.
They're just coming for jobs. They're just coming for healthcare. They're just coming for stuff. We came for high-minded principle, right? Because we believe that. What kind of third grade version of American history is that?
Right? Like when Donald Trump says, "Well, Mexico is not sending their best." What the hell? You think Europe sent their best? Europe? No. Our people were the losers of Europe. I'm not trying to be an [ __ ] I'm just telling you the truth. Like, our people were the losers of Europe. The winners didn't get on the boat. You understand what I'm saying? The winners didn't leave. Why the hell would you leave if you were winning? Only the losers left because they had no choice. They were dying. They were starving. They couldn't support their families. A lot of them were convicts who were sold into indentured servitude to rich to work for rich European people. They were barely above the level of a slave themselves.
The idea that we had these high we didn't believe in liberty and freedom.
And we know that because once we got to the colonies, we set up the opposite of liberty. I call them Indians [music] because that's what they are. They're the Indians. There's nothing wrong with the word. First of all, it's important to know that Indian that word probably does not derive from Columbus believing he had reached India [music] in 1492.
India was called Hindustan. More likely, the word derives from Columbus's description of the people he found here.
In his written accounts, he called the Indians unente people in God. In [music] God, Indians Indians. It's a perfectly noble thing.
And I simply can't justify this awkward phrase, Native Americans. First of all, they're not natives. They came [music] here from Asia over the Bearing Land Bridge. In fact, there are no natives anywhere in the world. Everyone is [music] from somewhere else. All people are refugees, immigrants, or aliens. If there are natives anywhere, it would have to be people [music] still living in the Great Rift Valley in Africa. So, everyone is just visiting. So much for native. As far as calling them Americans is concerned, well, how can [music] I say this? We steal their hemisphere, destroy 500 cultures, kill 20 million, stick the rest of them on the worst land we can find, and then as a special bonus, [music] we name them after ourselves.
>> Now, here are the reasons why people thought that they've gone extinct. right now. People people really thought that they are gone. A lot of Native Americans were forced to assimilate. They were stripped of language and identity. They were pushed into cities. So now many don't look how people expect. Yes. And that's why I see people say, you know, you look too black. You're not. That is it. They were forced to assimilate. A lot of things were were creeped out of them. Do you understand that? And because of that, people assume they are gone right now. This isn't extinction.
This is erasia. That is just the truth.
When people ignore existence, rewrite your story, you know, identity, you know, being questioned, you know, your history being rewritten, culture begin, you know, to become somehow in people's faces, right? culture being taken and even repackaged, it becomes very very hard for people to even believe that you even exist. Now, Native Americans are not extinct. They are still here, still fighting, still preserving their culture.
So, the real question is why were we with us otherwise?
Why do we still see black people as not part of the Native Americans?
Why A whole lot of them are and see these people have gone through I I feel America still owe them sorry I I'm telling you you owe them at least the bare minimum the sorry this people need their lands back they need everything back Imagine how a lot of them have been touched even by eyes it's really crazy this is really and we should stop supporting it a lot of people are supporting You know, there's nothing like that. Stop it. It's not fair. How would you feel if your own ancestral lineage is being trying to be silenced?
It's so painful. Sometimes I feel so bad for these people. They're now forced to just be somewhere quiet. A lot of them can't even speak. That is where they find themselves right now as we speak.
