you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

Alright my theory about Remmick from Sinners & the Native Americans.

First we're gonna start off with a little history lesson then we'll get to what I think happened between them before the events of the movie.

15000 members of the Choctaw tribe were forcibly removed from the land in 1831 through the Indian Remival Act (1830) and they endured what is known as the trail of tears from 1831 to 1833. They were forced to relocated from Mississippi to Oklahoma. Although not all of the tribe left that was just the first round.

"Approximately 15,000 Choctaws made the trip between 1831 and 1833. One-quarter to one-third perished from disease, starvation, exposure and murder. They called it a “Trail of Tears and Death,” a name that would later be used for the Removal of other southeastern tribes."

I'm not gonna go into the horrors of the Trail of Tears because I dont want this post to be too long. Feel free to research on your own and come back here.

Now over 10 years later The Great Famine of Ireland or the Irish Potato Famine hit between 1845 to 1852.

Despite just dealing with the pain of the Trail of Tears in 1847 the Choctaw collected a donation of 170 dollars equivalent to 5000 today and sent it to Midleton in County Cork, south of Dubli in aid of families experiencing hunger during the Famine.

In 2015 a sculpture honoring the Choctaw's generosity was placed in Midleton's Bailick Park called Kindred Spirits.

Now we get to 2020. You remember it I'm not going to get into the gory details. Ireland raises nearly 8 millions dollars through go fund me to send to the Navajo and Hopi nations which were hit the hardest during covid. They also sent medical supplies, water, and food. They site the Choctaw's original generosity for their donations saying they were "paying it forward".

Those are the main highlights but there are other events that show the continued relationship between Ireland and the Choctaw but I'm not gonna put everything because this is still about Sinners remember.

So let's get back to the movie. Please bear with me I only say it twice & I'm going based off memory. Ryan Coogler is very deliberate with his choices. We know that this film was multilayer and full of double meanings. We also know he does his research. I think the relationship between the Choctaw and Irish is the reason he had the Choctaw tribe chase Remmick to Bert & Joan's house. He could've kept it vague and called them "Indians" never specifically named the tribe but he puts in the dialog that they are Choctaw.

Something I caught right away is when Remmick gets there he asks for help and says "they killed my wife... I thought they were going to help me" and when they ask who is chasing him he says the "Choctaw" to which Joan replies there are no "injuns for miles". That's when Remmick notices the white hood & bribes them with gold. The thing that immediately struck me is he calls them by their actual tribal name "Choctaw" where as most white people (even today) around that time period would have just called them Indians which is shown in Joan's response. Being Native myself I immediately clocked the specification. It's not something that happens regularly even today. I remember the first time a white man looked at me & said "you're *my tribes name* aren't you?" I was shocked and could just nod. That's something that happens when someone is very educated and actually cares about the tribe enough to call them by their true name. Remmick showed a level of respect in that one word than people realize when watching the film.

Remmick knows the Choctaw because he's Irish.

So my theory is that what if Remmick isn't lying and he had a wife... maybe he had a whole family of vampires. Remmick's whole thing was "fellowship" and building a "clan with love", he wanted Sammie because of his ability to conjure his ancestors. He said he had some people he wanted to see again.

I think Remmick came to America looking for more family to turn, and being Irish knowing the Choctaw helped his people in the past, thought they would be his friends, that they would "help" him. When he got there however the Choctaw knew immediately he was a bad spirit and started to hunt him instead.

I think they killed his wife and any other vampires he had with him. I think he was the only one that managed to escape. I think they hunted him and his family one by one all day and the only thing that saved him was finding Joan and Bert's house and appealing to their racism. That and the sun setting were the reason the Choctaw washed their hands of the situation because the racists clearly didn't want their help.

What do y'all think?

Even though he has the IC Championship I'm still a dumb bitch

No bc I was heartbroken at first about tjd & summerslam but after the 5 stages of grief I've really thought about it & I'm happy for the next stages in Dom's career.

Like he went from Rey's shadow straight to Rhea's & lets be honest even as the World Heavyweight champion Liv doesn't cast a big enough shadow for Dom & I think we'll finally get to see him as his own man.

[pocfansmatter]

imagine if they let dom have rivalries and matches and promos and vignettes or you know.. just normal wrestling champ stuff

[pocfansmatter]

No but can we talk about the fact that the livdom first kiss was Liv forcing herself on Dom after he said no ahhh that was an immediate and everlasting ick for me

right 😭 i will never be able to forget it all

Honestly the only good part of Another Simple Favor was Matteo and Dante

I'm really upset they didn't get their happy ending they deserved it after everything they went through to be together

I wish we would have gotten more of them

They should've just made a movie on their backstory

[pocfansmatter]

Can't we get a whole movie just about them?
