"Dr. Bryan Brayboy at ASU often uses the term “Genesis Amnesia” (from Pierre Bourdieu) to discuss how, especially in regards to Indigenous and colonized peoples, we often forget the beginning. Everything becomes normalized–the power structures, the historical narrative taught in schools, policies towards Indigenous Peoples–and society accepts this as “the way it’s always been” and stops wondering why. Hegemonic power structures rely on us forgetting the beginning." Delete the scoop?

Community Village's insight:
Sometimes we see and hear things so horrific we have a difficult time believing the event to be real. Here are some real events of murder / oppression by our U.S. Mexico border patrol.
Remember it was the U.S. military who killed innocent children, women and men at Wounded Knee.
And it was the U.S. military who killed innocent civilians on many occassions after Wounded Knee.
The U.S. culture of violence and oppression must end.

At one point the family states that the actor actually, “pushed away.” Yet, the White Rabbit had no problem hugging and snuggling up with Caucasian children for photo opts.

"6. Prejudice is not logical. That makes [racism] hard to disprove, logically. It can be confirmed by facts (one loud-mouthed black woman) but never disproved (a hundred quiet black women). It works in a part of the brain that deals with feeling, not thought."

Interview with Philip Emeagwali @ IOD London
Community Village's insight:
Philip Emeqgwali is a pioneering researcher in computer technology with an IQ of 190, higher than Einstein.
His U.S. degrees are from George Washington University and the University of Maryland, as well as a doctoral fellowship from the University of Michigan."
As he explains the history of African science, the thought came to me that Africans created all people. Respecting our forefathers includes respecting Africans.
""The Internet as we know it today did not cross my mind," Emeagwali told TIME. "I was hypothesizing a planetary-sized supercomputer and, broadly speaking, my focus was on how the present creates the future and how our image of the future inspires the present." Delete the scoop?
