So, Native Americans Are Claiming To Have Created R&B, Blues And Other Genres We've Created

[96Blue]

PS: The woman who runs the channel is a Black Native American, apparently. She also has a video saying that Soul Food is not slave food and that her family ate Soul Food, but they were never enslaved.

 

[AlainLocke]

Yeah okay.

She can go with all the folks that think Africans were here in mass in the New World before the discovery of Americas.

We ain’t create shyt. I was born in the 80s, I ain’t created shyt. Stop trying to feel better for not doing anything with your life by riding the collective black consciousness dik. Set goals for yourself

You talking to me? I don't agree with any of this shyt.

These people are trying to claim some shyt they ain't have part of. I don't know about the soul food indigenous food comparison thing, though.

 

[Gzifa]

They are always trying to erase us. We can't have nothing.

She’s one of those indigenous aboriginal Cherokeeolmecaztec nikkas who try to deny any links to Africa.


The music argument is a total joke, not even worth considering, and the Native American influence in Soul Food is ridiculously overstated at times.

What is the influence exactly? To me influence comes from shared or learned culinary techniques and methods, not from simply inhabiting the same lands. What did Native Americans teach our ancestors that they didn't already know from Africa? They were indigenous to their lands there and already had knowledge of crops and harvesting and cooking methods.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

She a whole damn fool

How can you say shes trying to claim some shyt she aint have a part of then say shes black?

All shes saying is that the music was influenced by "black" indigenous men and women. Here are murals in Mexico

These people that clearly have dreadlocks, would now be called c00ns and sellouts for not believing they were Africans brought here on slave ships....

Cornbread and grits...maybe lol, cause even with that there’s evidence our ancestors had advance knowledge of various uses of corn before they made it to America just because the slave trade facilitated the exchange of crops both ways from the very beginning.

That’s one thing that always annoyed me about a lot of explanations about Soul Food. Too often our ancestors are made out to be mindless drones who sat up under the wing of Europeans and Native Americans to learn how to cook, which is a bunch bullshyt. It’s the other side of the “scraps of the pig” explanation that most people run with. Thankfully that tide is turning and real scholarship that gives our ancestors their proper due has been leading the forefront as of late.

It’s still an uphill battle though, because no part of AA culture has been maligned and misunderstood more than Soul Food.

I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about the first video.

 

[SirReginald]

Ridiculous and she's a whole lie.

 

[Samori Toure]

That shyt they singing is not even Blues. I don't know what it is, but it is probably closer to gospel or call and response; but it is not even that.

 

[saturn7]

Her and Dane Calloway with this "we wuz indigenous" crap.

Just because the natives here were colored or deeply tanned that those not make them relatives to us or the same as black Africans.

 

[Supper]

It's not even real natives probably.

Sadly, It's just confused Afr'Ams suckered into this black-indigenous conspiracy crap trying to accredit Afr'Am music to indigenous people to help build their weak case that our ancestors were of pre columbian american, not African, stock.

Just another case of throwing shyt at the wall and hoping it sticks, just like they do by throwing up a bunch of random supposed depictions of indigenous americans in your face and aggressively insisting that they 'look black/negroid' and therefore the real indigenous were black/negroid(one of them has already stormed into this thread).

Then those broads will take DNA tests that will show them as .02% Native American and 75% African, but still claim to be Native American.
