Also some interesting Black Indian statistics
sofriel:
As I peruse the 2010 census.
12% of people who checked American Indian also checked Black. 10% more checked both Black and White.

“What motivates people who look “black” to claim to be Indian? When answered in a manner divorced from lived experience, the question produces many misplaced expectations about black and Indian mixed-bloods and demonstrates the fixity with which American race making practices ascribe blackness.

WNYC | Jami Floyed | 04/22/11
The 2011 Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing, here in New York, celebrating it’s tenth year with a bevy of science fiction, drama and even horror films to capture the imagination. But the genre in which I am most interested, this time around, is a love story - disguised as a documentary.
It’s called “The Loving Story: A Long Walk Home,” and it tells the...
