The ‘Savage Indian.”
Threaten Our Existence
Expect Our Resistance
– MMIW USA
Human Rights establishment that has a reputation for it’s corruption that adjacently either tends to drop the ball entirely or drag it’s feet when it comes to urgent atrocities such as genocide and utter discrimination to death of a people..
Rules: “No inflammatory language now.”
“No problematic sentiments now.”

Because as aforesaid there is no sugar coating reality for us. For those who didn’t hear the overlay song by Lakota artist, Frank Waln,
“My Brothers and Sisters suffer while people silence our voices. You hold our mouths shut then tell us that we are ‘voiceless.’ F__k that you don’t listen privilege is your tradition. Our people in your prisons our sisters end up missing. I petition my position to live in conditions that kill my people now feel my vision. Sound of a nation rising, a generation with a vision. Tired of our people dying, 7th Generation.” 7 By Frank Waln
Well what can be said? ::Shrugs:: It’s just truth they don’t like it tough. We don’t have the numbers to sugarcoat it or tip toe around about it. Besides look at all the extreme violence enacted towards us systematically with no justice since colonization began anywhere, now THAT’S problematic. We’re the “Savage Indian” the declaration of “Independence” warned euro-centrism about basically …and the wording has never been corrected despite it’s sheer offensiveness and dehumanization of us therefore our very existence is viewed as “problematic” inherently either way so yeah people like myself will be as hard hitting and “In your face” as possible about the systematic violence against us in entire exemption from justice. We live in a world where our Girls are raped and left decapitated in ravines or ditches with a slap on a wrist for the perpetrator. OR the fact predators frequent our lands to buy children for the purpose of rape, OR how about the fact we are sex trafficked at such an astounding rate demographers have seemed to have lost track, not to mention the epidemic of domestic violence, and the subject of hate crimes targeted at our Women as well as Girls - all in complete impunity. Therefore yes I’m going to be “problematic” about it because the media sure hasn’t picked up on it like they should nor Human Rights sectors.
We are not truly dead until the hearts of our women are on the ground.
