@adivunsolicited: What does it mean to be American? 🇺🇸 To the outside world, an American accent makes you American. Inside the country, it's never been that simple. America is a settler colony. Native people were here first, then Black Americans, whose ancestors were brought here by force and have been building this country for centuries. Millions of white Americans descend from Ellis Island arrivals (1892-1954), long after that. Yet "real American" keeps getting handed out like a birthright. You can see it in who gets told to leave: 🔸 JD Vance said Florida Senate nominee Angie Nixon should leave America over her politics [add date + source]. Disagreeing with the party in power isn't grounds for deportation in the "land of the free." 🔸 Judge Judy told critics of America, "don't come into my home and say, 'I want to change it.'" But Eastern European Jews weren't always seen as white when they arrived. Whiteness was extended to them over time, and now it's used to tell others what they can and can't say. The whole point of America is that it changes. Without that, we'd still be living under Jim Crow Read the history 📚 ▪️ An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz ▪️ The History of White People, Nell Irvin Painter ▪️ Whiteness of a Different Color, Matthew Frye Jacobson ▪️ How Jews Became White Folks, Karen Brodkin ▪️ Many Thousands Gone, Ira Berlin ▪️ American Slavery, American Freedom, Edmund Morgan #american #BlackHistory #jdvance #judgejudy #uspolitics

Thank you so many people do not realize black Americans Sister been here since the 1600s 1619 to be exact. Thank you so much for saying it out loud and I knew this when I was eight.

Shakira Zackery :

Similar to how we don't recognize Afro Hispanics as Hispanic. We recognize their Afro descent first because we are looking at their phenotype first
