Generational document: Black & Indian Connection Ft. Granny Gladys
This podcast is based on the historical interaction between Native American and African-American communities, exemplified by events like the "Desire" ship's arrival and the Pequot Massacre aftermath. Through analysis and personal narratives, such as those shared in this episode featuring Granny Gladys, we can bring attention to hidden histories, confront systemic injustices, and work towards solidarity. This episode explores how division within these communities, perpetuated by racial classification and lateral violence, has deepened psychological trauma and hindered communal unity. It also delves into the impact of cultural erasure, exemplified by paper genocide, and its role in shaping a new social construct to subjugate marginalized groups.
Division within Communities:
Carl Linnaeus's racial classification system, initiated in 1735, contributed to the internal division within both Native American and African-American communities. By categorizing individuals based on physical traits, this system entrenched stereotypes and fueled self-identity issues, perpetuating self-destructive behavior and inter-community conflicts. In African-American corporate culture, the Willie Lynch Theory exacerbates competition and lateral violence, perpetuating inequality and hindering collective progress.
Similarly, within Native American communities, stereotypes perpetuated by European colonization have led to internal divisions, with individuals aligning themselves with either the "good Indian" or "bad Indian" stereotypes. This tribalism fosters inequality, with those fitting the "good Indian" stereotype gaining access to resources and opportunities while those labeled as "bad Indians" face exclusion and marginalization.
Paper Genocide and Cultural Erasure:
Paper genocide, a tool of the racial power structure, aims to erase heritage and history to create a new social construct. This process, evident in historical assimilation efforts and the systematic removal of Indigenous and African identities, perpetuates confusion and indoctrination, further subjugating marginalized groups.
