With all the funfare that some are watching about the 250th Anniversary - the Declaration of Independence - while some may think they are free - the indigenous tribes are still found on reservations - a paradox when this is land - Turtle Island - belongs to them lock, stock, and barrel.
We are all human beings, and as human beings, we must respect and honor our ancestors. Our tribal ancestors from Turtle Island are proud that they kept their culture intact - today, the dances, the rituals, the sacred chants, and the wisdom are intact.
The indigenous tribes lived here on Turtle Island for thousands of years - 20,000 for those that are ignorant and caught up in all the sordid materialism and less in the care of one's spirit.
It is a shame that today, after stealing the land, we have an egotistical maniac who is holding a series of mundane events that all point to him and his narcissistic self.
Most Americans do not have a clue how the United States was created.
Ever since slavery was accepted, to this day, the mentality towards Negroes has not changed.
Thomas Jefferson always thought the Negroes were inferior - even though his mistress, a slave named Sally Hemings, bore him six children, and secretly he saw that Sally Hammings was free to do what she wanted - Thomas Jefferson to his death - maintained that Negroes were inferior.
However, while other slaves of his choosing, including those that Sally Hammings bore, were freed, Sally Hammings was not, and that says a lot.
Today, we have an egotistical maniac in the White House; he has no clue about history.
He is a narcissist and, as such, self-centered and selfish to the core.
If only the Whites knew a little about Frederick Douglass or Harriet Tubman - Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
The Founding Fathers are turning in their graves.
Instead of moving forward - working on the experiment that is our Constitution - we are moving backward - imagine a President who is a felon, who lies, cheats, raped and has made a fool of himself.
Can you imagine a dysfunctional Congress - can you imagine the Executive Branch practicing license?
Come on, Sisters and Brothers - learn more and stand tall and represent - do not let the bullies take advantage of any human being - they are just cowards and will fall flat on their faces - soon.
Few understand the sordid action of Andrew Jackson, a racist much like Donald Trump - such narassists - have left a deep scar and racist actions that must not be tolerated.
Thousands of indigenous people were removed from their homes by Andrew Jackson - many were raped and killed - their homes were burned, and those taken hostage were moved thousands of miles and told to live on barren land.
Why do we not honor and respect the indigenous people?
Whose land is this? Who lived here for 20,000 years?
Let me tell you - in less than 200 years - the Whites have polluted and contaminated Mother Earth?
In like manner, the buffalo that roamed the plains in the millions were killed for their fur, and the meat left to rot.
Piled sky high - the rotten flesh was left to rot - and the indigenous people insulted - the buffalo has always been a sacred animal to the indigenous, and any human being that cares for animals that matters.
Thomas Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark with Sacagawea, a Shoshone who helped the expedition - as a translator, as she understood many of the indigenous dialects and languages - no photograph of Sacagawea exists - she is honored now - she deserves more.
The Louisiana Purchase allowed Thomas Jefferson to allow slave masters to acquire land and have hundreds of slaves grow cotton and enrich themselves, having free labor.
Thomas Jefferson himself had 600 slaves and always spoke of the slaves as inferior.
Much as Donald Trump and his minions - who suffer from an inferiority complex.
Daily, Donald Trump and his family cheat and amass large sums of money - and they think they will get away with murder in broad daylight.
What are we celebrating today, events that have nothing to do with honor or respect?
Imagine Donald Trump trying to get rid of "Birthright" only for the Supreme Court to right the wrong - and stand up for Birthright that is law and must stay intact.
Wong Kim Ark from San Francisco dared to challenge the Supreme Court in 1898 - today Birth Right is alive and kicking, and the racists more privileged jackasses - can go fuck themselves.
Do we have a Congress worthy of the Constitution and functioning as the Founding Fathers envisioned?
Can you imagine having a President who is a felon and has been indicted 34 times?
When his term ends, he will come before the courts to be adjudicated not only on the 34 counts but also on other crimes linked to cheating, lying, and amassing billions of dollars.
