I'm gonna be honest with you here. I'm pretty fucking done. I've let a lot slide before, but not anymore. Working with the West Virginia Democratic Party and leading the Indigenous Caucus showed me exactly how white people like to control narratives about identity. It's the same game every time: dismiss my work and my experiences, then tell me I'm not "Native enough" because I don't fit the version of Indigenous identity you think you're entitled to define.You say you don't care about race, but your emails prove the opposite. You don't "not see race". You certainly see it just enough to try and weaponize it against me. That's the same tired tactic white supremacy has used for centuries. Control who's racialized, who gets to belong, and who doesn't. You're mocking me while propping up the system that's been erasing people like me since the doctrine of discovery.
I am a member of my tribe. That's not a choice I made. It's who I am. My family lived through policies meant to destroy our culture, and we're still here. That identity isn't something you can erase just because you don't like it or don't understand it.
You call me a jackass, but look at yourself. You're the one throwing around ignorant takes and pretending they're facts. You don't respect me, so fuck off
