The Revolution of TRUTH and Rebirth of OUR Nation
Indian? Mulatto? Colored? Negro? African American? Black?
Our true story was hidden, distorted or erased. KNOWLEDGE is POWER! UNITY is our WEAPON!
What is Indigenous
"Indigenous" refers to people, animals, or plants that are native to a particular place or environment and have lived there for a long time—often since before colonization or outside influence.
When talking about people, Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of a region before settlers or colonizers arrived. They usually have distinct cultures, languages, traditions, and connections to the land
Why Black Americans WERE NOT labeled Indigenous
Examples of HIS stories Indigenous are :
- Native Americans in the United States (remember the Colonizers decided who was Native and created the term Indian)
- First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in Canada
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia
- Sámi in Northern Europe
So why not so called Black Americans? The term Indigenous is often used with respect to rights, history, and social justice, recognizing the impact of colonization and the importance of protecting Indigenous cultures and lands. In a nutshell, the Colonizers distorted, erased and misrepresented the true identity of our culture for power, control, and their own ideology. They stole everything that was needed to build this nation from your ancestors. Sounds eerily similar to what's going on today.
Indian
The term "Indian" is a result of a so called historical misunderstanding that Colonizers used and made into their truth to hide the true identity of the Indigenous Niiji (Black Americans). The people we call Indians today, should question HIS story and reject being called Indians if they truly know their history.
Mulatto
"Mulatto" is a historical term used for a person of mixed Black and White ancestry SUPPOSEDLEY, but this was a term used to label many Indigenous Niiji people. Many Indigenous Niijis resisted and did not flee their territories. During the so called Indian Removal Act in 1830 the Colonizers failed to remove Indigenous Niijis in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi and Florida. These states just so happen to hold some of the highest black populations still today. They want you to believe it is because of the Slave Trade. This is another untruth. These areas were already inhabited by Indigenous Niiji. The label Mulatto changed to Black in the mid to late 1800's.
Colored * Negro * Black
The Colonizers then labeled the Indigenous Niiji "Colored and Negro” in the late 1800's to mid 1900's. The terms “Colored” and “Negro” were used by Colonizers and American society historically as part of the broader system of racial classification and control. These labels weren't neutral—they reflected and reinforced white supremacy, social hierarchies, and the dehumanization of the Indigenous Niiji. The shift from the term “Negro” to “Black” happened primarily during the 1960s and 1970s, as part of the broader Civil Rights and Black Power movements. Some of you may be old enough to remember when it was offensive to call us Black or African???
African American
The term "African American" began gaining popularity in the late 1980s when "Reverend Jesse Jackson" and other Black leaders publicly promoted this term. Per HIS story, the term "African American" reflects HIS story of Black people who were brought to the United States as enslaved individuals during the transatlantic slave trade. Well why in the world did it take so long to come up with this label??? This was simply another way for the Colonizer to create their narrative and continue the deceit for their own agenda. SLAVERY WAS REAL, BUT HIS STORY WAS NOT! From the beginning of the arrival of the Colonizers they used our own people to push their narrative (sound familiar). HIS story says roughly 388,000 slaves were brought from Africa to North America during the slave trade and from that we populated to over 48 million today. No matter how AI tries to spend this answer, the math is not mathin We Were Here!
