TheRealBlaze :

Only thing that makes sense

ShaoliNour :

All of this is “coming to a head” as my Georgia grandmother would say; meaning a reckoning-that all branches of government will have to recognize on paper, America’s greatest sins can no longer be suppressed.

Goddess Sevin/ Ix-K'ak-Way🪶🐢 :

All these men posing as Chiefs

MrDew🪶 :

He just clearly explained to this man how they reclassified the Indians, and then he turns around an ask him can he prove it?

Copper Chippewa :

This is not 100% true because I have census records in the 1800 and the 1900s where my ancestors were still listed as Indian. However, they are now writing B’s on top of the I’s.

Qute :

Many of my Ancestors were labeled as "Mulatto" on the census. This makes me feel better about it, rather than believing the alternative. However, I believe my maternal grandmother actually did have some in her ancestry.

U.S. Department of the Interior "It is important to note that in earliest censuses Indians were classified as Black." 1786, 1790, 1800

Detroit Jenni :

I was just trying to figure out why my great great grandparents were classified as mulatto

Simonestravelassociation🦅🇺🇸 :

This is why I tell them please argue with someone else .

Sleeplessinbama :

Looking at the 1790 census available today, I do not see “mulatto” as an option—only “slaves.” This suggests that enslaved people captured and trafficked into the United States were more than likely Native Americans and were classified as enslaved. The 1800 census does reference “all other free persons” and “slaves,” which could encompass Native and the alleged African people as well.

F.U.B.U. From da M.C. :

Demarkes Grant :

My great grandma always said we were native. On the documents I have of her parents, her mother was classified as mulatto, she’s a freeman from north Louisiana.
