stubborn Belief on Flag Day in the USA.



The American flag does not mean to Indians & other ethnic groups what it means to white Americans, who cannot see beyond being conquerors & the alpha predator. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.12.16


Patriotism to white Americans does not coincide with the sense of being a citizen a Native person feels, or those of the African bloodlines. Asian groups see American citizenship as an economic opportunity, a chance to return what they gleaned as citizens back to their home country, or worst of all a chance to be accepted by whites as equals.
The latter never happens. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.12.16



Nigger philosophy.


Disturbing visual, but a mainstay in Black thought, and Black life. Why it is thus is a trickster story. Children are always mirroring us. It is up to us to listen carefully and act accordingly. Most often we don't. The real question is why not?
 
This is what I painfully call 'nigger philosophy"! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (May 12, 2016)
