Resistance Radio with John and Regan

Why sustain clearly racist legal doctrines today? And let's talk about language and how it affects behaviour.

Well Earth Day happened. Let me talk about how we're doing. Oh! and the 4th of July is just around the corner.

We continue to wreak havoc on the planet as we pretend 250 years of this behavior is something to celebrate.

The DNA lie! And country music is full of songs about white folks clinging to land. We tried that too.

DNA cannot determine ethnicity, origin stories or nationality. and why is it romantic for country singers to sing about refusing to sell land to developers. THAT was one of the reasons the US claimed for taking our lands.

Nothing in the 14th Amendment mentions "domiciliation" or allegiance but it still entered the SCOTUS debate!

Allegiance is literally in the definition of "citizen." But left out of the processes in the 14th Amendment, the takeover of Hawaii and the Indian Citizenship Act!

I try once again to explain why more should be outraged over Native people being cast as a subclass of human existence in the US. That is exactly what "ward" status is! 

So let's talk about birthright citizenship! It's not complicated but it may not be what you think.

Native People were NOT made citizens under the Constitution!

Are you free? What is freedom? David Harmony is my guest.

Being a "citizen" is about having an allegiance to a government in exchange for protections. Freedom is not in the definition of citizenship. 

In spite the claims by the Trump administration, the US Commission on Civil Rights has condemned the use of Native mascots!

the USCCR has pushed to ban Native mascots for going on three decades!

The Black, Native and Hawaiian experiences with the U.S. has been similar but still very distinct.

All three of us have had U.S. citizenship imposed upon us!

The Devil is in the details! Got to read the fine print!
