Day 10: Indigenous People’s Past, Present, & Future

“We would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people who are the traditional custodians of this land on which we are meeting and pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal Nation both past and present. I extend this respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in attendance today. This welcome shows respect for the traditional custodians of the Canberra region where we spent the morning at the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.” Michelle Deshong, CEO of the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute, welcomed our class in the traditional way this morning prior to the start of our session.

Ms. Deshong gave us an overview of the diversity of the First Nations of Australia. Before colonization, there were 250 tribal nations. Unfortunately, due to past policies separating Aboriginal children from their families, known as the stolen generation, we are unsure of how many nations remain.

The parallels between our two countries regarding the interactions between westerners and indigenous people are uncannily interchangeable. One notable difference between Native Australians and Native Americans is that the former never utilized treaties to enable their peoples. This lack of empowerment is a primary factor driving their efforts towards nation building: two equal entities having conversations about their best outcomes.

Aboriginals practice a clan-based linear family and governance structure, which is very different than western hierarchical society. While this is foreign to our way of thought, Ms. Deshong encouraged us to “de-colonize” our minds to understand their cultural values and beliefs. From the outside this system may look disorganized, but when you take a step back, you begin to understand the origin of the phrase “it takes a village.”

Ms. Deshong went on to explain how current generations are affected by the decisions of the five generations before us. Therefore, it is important for our generation to consider the next five generations. When you lose these cross generational connections you lose knowledge.

We then took a tour of the Institute where they are archiving thousands of hours of film, audio recordings and pages of documents and books to preserve aboriginal culture. They are also working on developing aboriginal genealogies to help the stolen generation discover their history.

We ended with Ms. Deshong discussing the path towards sovereignty for the first nations of Australia. This means Aboriginals acting as nations by making a decision today, that will impact the next five generations.

After this session, the fellows went out to explore Canberra. Some went to the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of Australia, Parliament, bike riding, and hiking Mount Ainslie.

Susan B. Anthony didn’t believe all women had the right to vote

"While the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, mandated that the “right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude,” the voting rights of black Americans were often blocked.

"Poll taxes, literacy tests and other legalized strategies to suppress black voters from casting ballots including threats of violence and job losses were a reality. Black women including Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Amelia Boynton and Diane Nash were committed activists who worked to get black Americans in the South voting rights. Their work and others’ culminated in the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act which finally offered voting rights protections.

"Black women played a significant role in this nation’s voting rights struggle. As voters they continue to make a contribution, Kelley said.

..."We saw the power of black women voters in last year’s Alabama Senate election, when 98 percent of black women voted for Doug Jones, and helped secure his victory over Roy Moore, a Republican judge accused of molesting young women. Black women are also making progress as candidates. Kelley pointed to Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, who would become the first black woman governor in the United States if she wins the general election in November.

..."Latinas also faced racial hurdles that are less widely known. Tactics used to prevent them from voting included poll and literacy taxes, said Lisa Navarrete, a spokesperson for UnidosUS, a national civil rights organization that advocates for Latinos.

..."The 1965 Voting Rights Act helped enfranchise more Latinas just as it did other Americans. But the 1975 extensions of it, which included mandating bilingual ballots and voting materials in certain areas, also went a long way in enabling Latinas to vote. Bilingual ballots were an institutional remedy for legalized racial barriers to education that also affected Latinas’ ability to vote.

..."We’re not talking about immigrants in a lot of cases. These women grew up in Texas where there were segregated schools and they were not able to go to school, were never given the proper education in English,” [Navarrette] said. “They were born in Texas, raised in Texas. Because they were deprived of an education were not able to have the competency in which to fully understand what can be a complicated ballot.”

"When there aren’t barriers for Latinas to vote, they can make real change, Navarrete said. She pointed to the June New York Congressional primary race in which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat out incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley, a top-ranking Democrat. Her victory was made possible for the people of color, including women, who supported her campaign.

..."Asian American women also faced voting challenges. For decades, national immigration laws prevented Asians from attaining citizenship, consequently blocking them from voting.

..."Suffrage was a great first step, but the reality is when it was first passed there was still the Chinese Exclusion Act,” Chen said. “In terms of our rights to become citizens, it was actually really hard for this population to even take the first step to even be citizens, let alone to actually register and go vote.”

...There are still barriers that prevent women of color from voting.

“More and more, we’re seeing voter disenfranchisement by policies and laws being passed where they’re removing early voting, same-day voting, absentee voting and voters are being purged...There are policies in place that are really an impediment."

Published: April 25, 2021

KISSIMMEE, Fla.— WBO featherweight world champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete knows how to add an exclamation point. The Mexican star knocked down Puerto Rican contender Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz four times, closing the show in the 12th round of an action-packed battle Saturday evening at Silver Spurs Arena. It was the first successful featherweight title defense for Navarrete (34-1, 29 KOs), who also reigned as WBO junior featherweight world champion. After the knockdown in the 12th, Diaz's trainer, Nelson Rodriguez, threw in the towel.

Navarrete said, "I think we did put on a worthy performance (of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico) because ‘Pitufo,’ I knew he was tough, I knew he was strong. And I knew he could hit hard, but he surpassed all my expectations. He brought out all the best in me and so I’ve got a lot of respect for Christopher ‘Pitufo’ Diaz.

"I was really impressed by ‘Pitufo’ because every time I hurt him, every time I dropped him, he came back stronger. He was a beast in there because he kept coming at me. He kept getting better even though I kept hurting him, and as the fight progressed, you’d expect him to get weaker but he kept getting stronger. I just couldn’t understand it. So I have the utmost respect for Christopher ‘Pitufo’ Diaz and what he did tonight."

Diaz (26-3, 16 KOs) entered the fight having won two straight since a decision loss to Shakur Stevenson in a non-title bout. He landed 183 punches on Navarrete, but he was unable to seriously hurt the seasoned champion. Diaz said, " I’m very disappointed. I wanted to win. It’s a title shot. But next time. He’s a great fu----- fighter. He hit hard. We went to war. I made my best fight. I was in shape. Everything was good. "I’m not a weak fighter. I always bring my heart with me. I came here to fight. I said I want to box but that guy, he’s a problem. We come here to fight, too. He caught me. My coach loves me like a son, and he stopped the fight." In other action: Super Middleweight: Edgar Berlanga (17-0, 16 KOs) UD 8 Demond Nicholson (23-4-1, 20 KOs). Scores: 79-68 and 79-69 2x. There is a first time for everything. “The streak” is no more, but Berlanga is still undefeated. Berlanga, who had 16 consecutive first-round knockouts entering the night, was extended the eight-round distance by Nicholson. He dropped Nicholson four times en route to the near-shutout, and the reading of the scorecards was academic. Berlanga knocked down Nicholson with a left hook in the second round, a right hand in the third round, a left hook in the fifth round, and a right hand just before the bell sounded to end the eighth. Berlanga said, “I feel amazing. It’s kind of fu---- up I had to go to the judges with all the people here. I know they wanted a first-round knockout, but I enjoyed getting the experience. "It was an awesome experience for me. I caught him with an amazing shot at 10 seconds of the last round. I wanted to get him out! But I didn’t, but I got the experience, especially in front of my Puerto Rican people. It was good.” Junior Welterweight: Josue Vargas (19-1, 9 KOs) UD 10 Willie Shaw (13-3, 9 KOs). Scores: 98-92 and 99-91 2x. Vargas, the Puerto Rican-born contender who now fights out of the Bronx, New York, survived a rough patch when he was buzzed in the opening round. He then proceeded to outbox Shaw, a native of Oakland, California. Vargas has won 13 consecutive bouts since a controversial disqualification loss early in his career. Lightweight: Joseph Adorno (14-0-2, 12 KOs) MAJORITY DRAW 8 Jamaine Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 KOs). Scores: 76-74 Ortiz and 75-75 2x. War. Eight rounds of fistic war. Adorno and Ortiz fought to a dead heat but combined to give boxing fans what will ultimately stand as one of 2021's best fights. Adorno knocked down Ortiz with left hooks in the second and seventh rounds, but when Ortiz wasn’t on the canvas, he was muscling Adorno on the inside and ripping him with combinations. After nearly being knocked out in the seventh, Ortiz dominated the eighth round, sweeping the stanza on all three judges’ cards to salvage the draw. Featherweight: Orlando Gonzalez (17-0, 10 KOs) UD 8 Juan Antonio Lopez (15-9, 6 KOs). Scores: 78-74 and 79-73 2x. Puerto Rico’s Gonzalez didn’t have it easy against Lopez, but a determined effort and a boost from the partisan crowd was more than enough. Welterweight: Xander Zayas (8-0, 6 KOs) TKO 1 Demarcus Layton (8-2-1, 5 KOs), :56. Zayas tied his personal record for the shortest evening of his career, dispatching Arkansas native Layton in under a minute. A left hook started the onslaught, then another sweeping left planted Layton to the canvas. Referee Emil Lombardi saw enough and waved off the bout. Zayas said, “This was amazing, something I was looking forward to for a long time. The last time I fought in front of a crowd, it was in Puerto Rico. Doing it here in Kissimmee, in front of my Puerto Rican fans, was memorable. First-round knockout, what else can I ask for?” Junior Featherweight: Jeremy Adorno (5-0, 1 KO) MD 4 Ramiro Martinez (2-1-2, 1 KO). Scores: 38-38, 39-37 and 40-36. Adorno had the most difficult evening of his young career, returning from a 15-month layoff to edge Texas resident Martinez. Adorno was stunned in the second and fourth rounds, but his volume and clean punching told the story of the fight. Junior Lightweight: Jaycob Gomez (2-0, 2 KOs) KO 1 Mobley Villegas (3-2, 2 KOs), 2:38. Puerto Rican phenom Gomez prevailed in less than a round, ending matters with a three-punch combination that put Villegas down for the 10-count.

An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked.  Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna.  The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?” The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos.  I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.” The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?” To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.” “But what then?” Asked the Mexican. The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part.  When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!” “Millions – then what?” The American said, “Then you would retire.  Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

Black&Blue

To support the Blue Lives Matter movement is to express to the world around you that you have no idea what Black Lives Matter even means, and to suggest that authority is more important than personal freedoms or happiness.

Let’s say someone in support of Blue Lives Matter is a centrist and not fully aware of what the two sides truly stand for.  Here’s your cheat sheet.

2017 July 7: Brian Easley, an unarmed 33-year-old black man and a former lance corporal in the Marine Corps is shot in Marietta, Ga.  Easley was living in a $25-a-night hotel, scraping by on a small monthly disability check from the Department of Veterans Affairs.  After returning from his 2005 tours of Kuwait and Iraq he found himself honorably discharged and returning home suffering from both physically ailments and mental illness.  In the summer of 2017 his usual disability check from the VA had mysteriously failed to materialize, and rent was due. If he couldn’t cover it, he’d be on the street, and the thought terrified him. On July 7 at around 9:30 a.m, the Marine veteran entered the Wells Fargo branch and claimed that the backpack slung over his shoulder contained C-4 explosive. He allowed several employees and customers to exit and then began making calls, dialing 911 to let the authorities know what was happening, and a local news station, WSB-TV, to explain his predicament. “They took everything,” he told the assignment editor who picked up the phone. “With my last little bit of money I got I’ve been able to hold up at a hotel, but I’m going to be out on the street and I’m going to have nothing. I’m not going to have any money for food or anything. I’m just going to be homeless, and I’m going to starve.” He continued to speak to the editor on the phone, “I already told them if I detonate this bomb, I’ll let them go first,” he promised. “These ladies are very nice, and they’ve been very helpful and supportive.”  He allowed the editor to speak with the hostages. One described her captor as “very respectful.”  Around 12:15 p.m. a single shot rang out, adding Easley’s name to the list of 236 mentally ill people killed by police in 2017.  As the hostages were whisked to safety, a robot entered the bank and retrieved Easley’s backpack, placing it in a “total containment vessel.” It was eventually deemed harmless, and inside investigators found a Bible, some papers, and other incidentals.  On his body they found a wallet and a broken cross pendant.

2017 July 19: Farhad Jabbari, an unarmed 38-year-old man, is shot in Saginaw, Mich. after he is pulled over for drunk driving.  Dash cam footage shows a clear picture of the encounter. “You just blew a 0.61, legal limit is .08, you are double the legal limit,” the officer tells Jabbari.  Jabbari is placed in handcuffs and placed in the back of the police cruiser.  “So I'm going to jail now?” Jabbari asks. “Yep, we will do the test right there,” the officer replies.  “I'm not going to jail,” Jabbari says.  Seconds later, Jabbari is able to slip out of one handcuff.  “What are you doing, uh uh, keep them on,” the officer says.  “I'm committing suicide,” Jabbari responds.  The officer opens the back seat of the car and is pulled in by Jabbari.  The officer fires five gunshots, killing Jabbari.

2017 September 27: At the College of William & Mary, students associated with Black Lives Matter protested an ACLU event because the ACLU had fought for the right of Unite the Right rally to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia.  William & Mary's president Taylor Reveley responded with a statement defending the college's commitment to open debate.

2017 October 19: Dewboy Lister, an unarmed 55-year-old black man, is shot in Corpus Christi, Tex. Lister spent the last years of his life mentoring the youth in his community.  He helped young men in Corpus Christi get jobs, he instilled in them respect for others and encouraged them to help after Hurricane Harvey struck the area.  He was shot in the torso during a traffic stop.  About him, Listers friends said, "He was a great man. He’s always a phone call away when families are in need.  He helped a lot of men around my age [21] land jobs at the local docks and ports.  He would constantly tell us to obey but know our rights. He was all about family and helping.”

2017 November 13: Calvin Toney, an unarmed 24-year-old black man, is shot in an apartment building in Baton Rouge, La. during a routine DCF meeting with an officer escort.  The footage was never released and Toney’s family was never given closure.  Toney was pronounced dead after a bullet wound to the chest, but paramedics found Toney’s body in handcuffs.  The official statement is that Toney was handcuffed after being shot, but without the body cam footage there is no corroborating evidence to this statement.  The family has been left without answers as to why their son was murdered.

2017 November 18: Lawrence Hawkins, an unarmed 56-year-old black man, is shot in Prichard, Ala.  Lakeisha Williams witnessed the event and stated a Prichard officer followed Hawkins closely all the way to his driveway without the patrol lights turned on.  Williams said, "It was ridiculous how he did that. He didn't turn on no lights until after that man was shot over there (the driveway)." Williams said Hawkins ran a stop light but didn't deserve to get shot.  She said, "He just got out of his truck and reaching out to get his cell phone." Williams continued, "The police was saying something and then all I heard was pow, pow, pow."

2017 December 1: Keita O'Neil, an unarmed 42-year-old black man, is shot on a street in San Francisco, Calif. by an officer on his fourth day on the job.  Body camera footage shows the officer drawing his pistol from the passenger seat while the cruiser is still moving. The video then shows him opening the side door and firing a single shot through the window as O’Neil, who was unarmed, runs by in the opposite direction.  O’Neil was later pronounced dead at San Francisco General Hospital.

2017 December 6: Jean Pedro Pierre, an unarmed 42-year-old black man, with a history of medical problems, including mental illness, is shot in Lauderdale Lakes, Fla.  Pierre’s family states the cops’ video footage misrepresents the man, who was a father of five, an entrepreneur and former political candidate in Haiti.  “They didn’t have to kill him at all,” said Ralph Fenelon, Pierre’s son.  “They had tasers, they had other weapons. They didn’t have to shoot him.”

2018: Police kill 1,165 people

History of Blue Lives Matter:

2014: The FBI reports 51 law enforcement officers were 'feloniously' killed in the line of duty.

2014 December: The homicides of NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in Brooklyn, New York kickstart a counter movement to Black Lives Matter, which the authorities believe to be “anti-police”.

2015: National statistics Report 42 police officers were shot and killed.

2016: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reports 64 officers were killed in firearm-related incidents.

2016 July 7: A BLM protest was held in Dallas, Texas that was organized to protest the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. At the end of the peaceful protest, Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire in an ambush, killing five police officers and wounding seven others and two civilians. The gunman was then killed by a robot-delivered bomb. Before he died, according to police, Johnson said that "he was upset about Black Lives Matter", and that "he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."

2017: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reports 44 officers killed in fire-arm related incidents.

2018: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund reports 52 officers killed in fire-arm related incidents.

Homicide Comparisons:

According to the FBI, which publishes the data in the Uniform Crime Reports, from 1980–2014, an average of 64 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed per year.

Updated estimates from the Bureau of Justice Statistics released in 2015 estimate the number of killings by police officers to be around 930 per year, or 1,240 if assuming that non-reporting local agencies kill people at the same rate as reporting agencies.

The numbers show why support for Blue Lives Matter is a disingenuous cause. Especially as most of those in favor of Blue Lives Matter are police officers themselves showing support for their “boys in blue.”  A police officer who is in support of Blue Lives Matter, and flaunts the Blues Lives Matter flag and merchandise, overall dismisses the deaths of the very citizens they’ve vowed to protect.

The initial response of centrists to the statement “Black Lives Matter” was “All Lives Matter”.  However, this is how disenfranchisement works.  Similar tactics are used against feminism, stating that feminists are anti-men.  As bell hooks stated in her collection of essays Feminism is for Everyone, “Conservative mass media constantly represented feminist women as man-haters. And when there was an anti-male faction or sentiment in the movement, they highlighted it as a way of discrediting feminism. Embedded in the portrayal of feminists as man-hating was the assumption that all feminists were lesbians. Appealing to homophobia, mass media intensified anti-feminist sentiment among men.”  We see this tactic being used today by groups like Blue Lives Matter to hijack a movement and portray it as chaotic and violent.

Black Lives Matter was never about the prospect that one life is more important than another.  Rather, it aims to highlight the most affected and yet least represented group of people.  The movement portrays the sentiment that no one is free while others are oppressed.  Or as Audre Lorde said, “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.”
