Have a fun themed playlist for the 4th! I originally made this when Trump was running the first time, but I like to bring it back out whenever things are a little too patriotic for my tastes.

Lakota rapper Frank Waln's song for Palestine. He's been one of the few people I follow on social media who consistently defends Palestine.

Here's some commentary from him regarding a trip he took to Palestine, comparing the conditions of refugee camps to reservations here in the US:

Hidden histories. Meet the Jews of Thessaloniki

"As you walk the streets of Thessaloniki today, it’s hard to imagine the time back in the 17th century when Greece’s second city was known as “The Mother of Israel” and Jews made up 68 per cent of the population. But there’s still plenty to tempt visitors, both those trying to retrace its Jewish heritage as well as those enticed by this attractive seafront spot.

Visiting on a cruise through the Aegean, aboard the Viking Sea, I’d introduced the mainly non-Jewish audience to Thessaloniki’s past as part of an onboard talk — resuming my career as a cruise ship lecturer, a return to the path I’d followed since my retirement as Director of the Anne Frank Trust, following a two-year pause during the pandemic.

And the chance to explore the city once known as Salonika was a highlight. Thessaloniki’s well-known 15th century landmark, the waterfront White Tower at the southern edge of the old city, once marked the historic boundary of the Jewish quarter and it’s an ideal starting point to explore."

Two Greek Jewish boxers from Thessaloniki, who survived Nazi concentration camps after being forced to beat other prisoners in the ring, are featured in the podcast “Holocaust Histories.”

The five episodes highlight different boxers from across Europe who were in the prime of their lives and careers in the 1930s and 1940s, but whose dreams were shattered by Hitler’s army.

Episode Four focuses on Salamo Arouch and Jacko Razon, who were born and raised in Thessaloniki, which had the largest Jewish community in Greece. The two men, both Jewish, trained together at a boxing gym; Arouch eventually became a successful fighter while Razon turned his attention to soccer.

Salamo Arouch was the Middleweight Champion of Greece, the All-Balkans Middleweight Champion and survivor of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

A Greek-Jewish boxer, Arouch came from a family of fishermen. Salamo, his brother Avram, and his father, also worked as stevedores.

By 1939, Salamo had a 24-0 (24 knockouts) record with a traditional style of boxing: jabbing and crossing. He became known in Greece as “The Ballet Dancer” due to his “fancy footwork.”

My favorite thing about these "Americans need to listen to more music that isn't just English!!" posts is the absolute ignorance displayed. Like

1) I know y'all keep forgetting this, but America isn't just English-only white people. A lot of us listen to music we have cultural ties to, which, yes, comes in all sorts of different languages.

2) none of you were alive during the Enrique Iglesias fever that swept through America and had everyone's moms in a tizzy, huh?

3) Feliz Navidad, which is in English and Spanish, is a favorite holiday song

4) were you not aware of everybody doing Gangnam Style dance videos to try to get on Ellen? It was HUGE over here

5) I cannot take five steps without bumping into someone who listens to BTS or Black pink.

6) The Macarena is played at weddings constantly, which is, you know. Certainly a choice. Given the nature of the song.

7) there will always be that person at the party that recommends Mongolian Heavy Metal. And they're right.

8) there's always going to be that one girl who dreams of moving to Paris but is pretentious for no reason who recommends Indila. Unfortunately, she is also right.

And then, yes, there's some of us who lost our languages or don't know all of our heritage languages, who sing in English or in a mix of English and indigenous tongues. These songs, too, are important. ((Go listen to Frank Waln RIGHT NOW.))

My point is, The United States is incredibly diverse. We are not just bigger, dumber Britain, thank you.

Indigenous Hip Hop

When you Google "Native American hip hop artists" in the section "People also ask" the first thing that comes up is "Are there any famous Native American rappers''. This shows how Native American hip hop was an underground sort of genre, only getting recognized by people in that region, but artists such as Drezus, Frank Waln, Lil' Cory, Supaman, DJ oTTo and Red Eagle (just to name a few) have put the genre of Native American Hip Hop on the map. But I just want to talk about Supaman.

Supaman, also known as Christian Parrish Takes the Gun has been rapping since he was 24. According to an interview between Supaman and NPR, "Supaman says he saw that crazy stuff as a kid. He says his parents were alcoholics and he spent lots of time in foster care before moving in with his grandfather. And for as long as he can remember hip-hop was playing in the background, like a soundtrack." Supaman's introduction to fame was not an easy road, he was signed to a record label from Seattle and began touring, while on tour he kissed a girl who went up to talk to him after a show, even though he had a wife and kid at home, at that point Supaman turned to religion, left his record label, and went back to the reservation "to weave a new message into his music." Supaman now raps about valuing who you are and feeling content with the life you've been handed.

The reason on explaining Supaman's whole life story is to show the impact he continues to have on youth, and specifically Native American youth. Supaman continues to tour today, but mostly at schools where he can speak and show the youth that "...people love you cuz you're Native American. So you should value that,' "
