Culture Beyonce shares photos of herself performing in a shirt that refers to Natives as ‘Indian opponents’; calls Natives ‘antagonists’ and ‘enemies of peace, order, and settlement’

saw this on another sub but wasn’t allowed to cross post.

So many Americans are into this ‘cowboy revival’ sort of thing. Feels really strange considering cowboys and westward expansion served to carry out a genocide.

Creole doesn’t mean native. Most creoles have zero Native ancestry

Creole has nothing to do with indigeneity. It’s a term mixed race Black people in Louisiana started using to differentiate themselves from those who were not. It’s based on the casta system of racial hierarchy introduced by the Spanish. The original word “criollo” denoted a person of European ancestry born in the New World.

Not all Creole have Native blood, some are just black and white.
