The Wrong Side of the Tracks



A journal has retracted a paper on the origins of a group of Indigenous Americans after readers said the basis of the paper was long discredited.

The paper, “Early pioneers of the americas: the role of the Olmecs in urban education and social studies curriculum,” was written by scholars at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, including corresponding author Greg Wiggan, and researchers at Towson State University, and published on June 25, 2020, in the Urban Review.

In a July 23 post on Medium, Kurly Tlapoyawa and Ruben A. Arellano “ask that the The Urban Review journal retract the article by Wiggan et al and discontinue its promotion of ‘Black Olmecs:’”

In their article, Wiggan et al peddle the long discredited notion that the Olmec were not indigenous Americans, but rather that they were black Africans who traversed the Atlantic Ocean millennia before Christopher Columbus. There are variations on the hypothesis, but the general idea is that Africans established (or helped establish) one of the oldest major civilizations in the Americas, the Olmec, which scholars credit as being a major inspiration for the Mesoamerican Indigenous cultures that followed. What we find surprising is that a publication that purports to be educational would publish an article that advocates the introduction of “Black Olmec” curriculum in schools.

Theres no motive to lie to us about us being native here. Makes them no difference, they TOOK BY FORCE this land.

As someone said earlier, it would be more embarrassing if this were our native land.


The motive is the same reason corporations lie and withhold info. To downplay liability,and eliminate some individuals from the class action lawsuit:mjlol:


Your trying to say they could just tell us go fukk ourselves. When obviously thats not what you would outright say if you want to uphold a certain image. Or if you enjoy keeping black people from gaining any indeginious rights . Plus why open up a can of worms for Native Americans of today? Or rewrite history books without a smoking gun. I doubt theres enough evidence that exist today to fully change the narrative that we could access. But i think theres enough evidence to question the idea the current narrative is the whole story:respect:

No offense, but this we are really natives. Is so insulting to your ancestors.

You're basically saying your ancestors where fukking retards
dig that I meant we can always question the narrative I’m in no way speaking as an expert and I do respect the middle passage. Anything’s in question when it comes to how we got here whether it’s from Africa or the grounds of MississippI. I don’t trust no cacs version of my own story. My great grandmothers nem told us we’re Choctaw and nothing else

This "we gotta question everything" is silly, pseudo talk. Stop it breh. And you trust them cacs everyday when you get that food out your kitchen, drive your vehicle, take that medicine, type on that phone or laptop, and everything else. You trust cacs just fine.
