UNCP students face racist Lumbee natives at BLM march in Pembroke, NC

[invalid]

Don't the other recognized tribes not fukk with the Lumbees?

The real Natives from out West be calling Lumbees (and most eastern tribes) fake Indians. Lumbees had no native culture and started adopting traditions from Plains Indians for show and the Western Indians don't like it

The Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokees spoke out in opposition at one of their federal recognition hearings. Basically said they were dolezaling a native identity.

“We are Cherokee not because we woke up one day and decided to be,” Sneed said. “We are Cherokee because we always have been, from time immemorial. As the elected leader of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, I represent a nation of citizens who are the direct descendents of those who survived one of the most calculated genocides in the history of mankind, the Trail of Tears. When a group of people falsely claim our identity, whether it’s to gain fame, financial gain or federal recognition, it is our duty and responsibility to defend the identity our grandmothers and grandfathers.”

this right here is that self-ether

2:26 ---- "we eat collard greens with fatback....those are things you don't see in other Indian communities"

3:30 --- "alot of times, I don't fit the stereotype for what people would consider an Indian. When other Indians ask me what do we (his tribe) eat, I tell them, 'My mom's fried chicken....to me, that's Lumbee food'"



8:05 -- "Once I would get around Indians from other places who had the long straight hair, pointy noses, high cheekbones...I felt like they would outcast me because I didn't look like them"

here I time stamped the part about their plains indian celebrations

I was just about to ask how the Eastern Band of Cherokee’s felt about them lol

The funny thing is that a lot of those try racial isolates in Virginia and North Carolina fit right in with Black people when they moved to New York and Philadelphia.

they fit in because that's what they are

 

[Jblaze204]

Like when white racist say they have a black friend,
If a lumbee gets called out on being racist, do they say they're black or do they not identify with their African roots at all?

 

[Counter Racist Male]

Truth. I know a few families that have this lineage.

 

[bl2k8]

I did a Facebook search of all those last names listed in those threads. Majority look way too blackish to even attempt to be racist but there is also others that look more Mexican/native to where I can see it happening. Crazy shyt I ever even knew about this area

 

[HTXBreh]

Yo shoutout to the brehs dropping knowledge.Umm these some ugly sons of bytches .Got the nerve to claim 2% Indian like so IG thot doing a interview.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Which Native Nations do they descend from?
I know that the Seminoles are a collective of AAs and Native people. Which Nation(s) does the Indian component of Lumbee come from?

Or are they false flagging?

They have no idea what tribe they descend from mainly because it doesn't exist. So they just started claiming random tribes that historically were in the area

 

[Samori Toure]

So.... who are the Lumbee exactly?

 

[EBK String]

Multi-generationally mixed-race people of black and white descent with black last names masquerading as a native american tribe that historically was a way for them to escape discrimination because of their black blood.

so they are the boule who took it a step further.

 

[EBK String]

There could have been some Native American blood back in the 1600s through marriages to the local Indians in or around the Tidewater area and NC Coast. They claim that they are an offshoot of the Croatans. But that blood would've been phased out a long time ago. The damning evidence is that they all have the same surnames of colonial free black families. Families that were started by free black men and white women which explains why they all carry black surnames. Lumbees are just offshoots of those same families that went into hiding.



Yep. I have Oxendine and Chavis in my family tree. My uncle is a Chavis from Philadelphia and he told me straight up that his old Chavises were free blacks that owned slaves down in Virginia.

Chavis comes from the Portuguese surname Chavez. And since the first Africans to arrive in the Americas were from the Kingdom of Mbundu and Ndongo of the Kongo, which had been colonized by Portugal at the time, the first black American families had Portuguese names that they anglicanized. Chavez became Chavis. Rodrigo became Driggers. Francisco became Francis. Bolin became Bowling. Domingo became Mingo.

There were still Africans that came over with their native names from the Ndongo. Kambol - which was a royal family of Ndongo became Cumbo. And those whom originated in or near Lucala and the Lucala River became Locklear.

No.

They don't have the money, education, or the sophistication.

They went into hiding in the backwoods.

More like country cousins.

And actually, in all the cases that I've seen where a family has relatives that passed for something, white or otherwise, because they think life would be easier to navigate, the side that stays black typically ends up far better in life than the white/indian passing side.

Nothing like what you call the boule. Boule are actually accomplished; people like Lumbee are from poor/inbred types.
