On a very recent episode of the PBS Series titled "African American Lives 2" a program that traces the roots of prominent Black celebrities, Actor Don Cheadle
found out that his ancestors were enslaved by "The Chicksaw Nation" a sovereign group of native Americans.
This information brings up a very interesting and significant question. How many of our Ancestors had "native American" slave masters?
I don't know. Looking at the evidence if there were some non-white people who were called "native americans", whatever that means, who helped the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) enslave large numbers of other non-white people...so what? They ain't enslaving any non-white people now because the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) were just using them to get done what the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) wanted to get done at the time.
The white people who practice racism (white supremacy) used non-white people against each other...black people...on the plantation. THEY used black people to watch and control other black people. Just used and misused and abused non-white people to no end. And still doing it because...
...what's being done in this conversation? Non-white people still talking about each other. And who benefits? The white people who practice racism (white supremacy).
If we are going to point out something that the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) do against us don't start by just talking about the effect of what THEY do has on us. The so-called "native americans" were being subjected to the power of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) too. We act like we don't understand "what's happening"...which is probably why we keep asking each other that question.
The strategy of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) is, and has always been, to keep non-white people focused on and in conflict with each other.
The effect of that is you can have some non-white people who are called "native americans" who can have other non-white people who are called "africans" as slaves when they are all subject to the power of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy). The effect of that is you can have some non-white people who are called "bloods" who can be in total conflict with other non-white people who are called "crips" when they are all subject to the power of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy). The effect of that is you can have some non-white people who are called "hutus" who can be in total conflict with other non-white people who are called "tutsis" when they are all subject to the power of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy).
You can even have some non-white people who are called "black people" or "african people" or "african american people" who can be in total conflict with other non-white people who are called "native americans" when they are all subject to the power of the white people who practice racism (white supremacy).
Now, how do you get out of that situation? Easy. And you may need an
Easy Button for this one.
Minimize conflict by minimizing contact. This simply means don't go around other non-white people unless you have something constructive to say and/or do. It also means don't even talk about other non-white people or don't even talk to other non-white people unless you are helping someone to solve a problem or they are helping you to solve a problem. And it is
extremely important to solve problems without producing more problems.
Now if we can't follow that simple logic to find our way out of this mess we all might as well pick up a whip and some chains and attempt to enslave each other because it will be the white people who practice racism (white supremacy) who will benefit from our behavior anyway because we will not be doing anything against THEM.
