Native historian & educator NotoriousBGP ( BrownGirlPride ), just walked into that conversation and said — hold on. What follows is one of the most important, most uncomfortable, and most necessary exchanges Political Drain has ever hosted. Native governance. Restorative justice. Sovereignty. And why the FBA framework may be building on land — literally and historically — that tells a very different story. 🕳️🏹 WHAT NOTORIOUSBGP ACTUALLY SAID ABOUT FBA:✅ The FBA movement defines Foundational Black Americans as direct descendants of enslaved people who built the United States — and argues they hold a unique and exclusive claim to reparations and lineage-based political power in America✅ NotoriousBGP challenged the very foundation of that framework — pointing out that the land FBA claims as "foundational" was never ceded, never surrendered, and never legally transferred from sovereign Native nations✅ The argument: you cannot be the foundation of a country built on land that was stolen from people who are still here — and still fighting for their own sovereignty and restorative justice simultaneously✅ NotoriousBGP drew a sharp distinction between the legitimate grievances of descendants of enslaved people AND the erasure of Indigenous sovereignty that the "foundational" framing can inadvertently reinforce✅ This is not an attack on Black reparations — it is a challenge to the specific ideological framework that positions one group's claim to America as primary while Indigenous land rights remain unresolvedtribal sovereignty🏛️ NOTORIOUSBGP'S MASTERCLASS ON NATIVE GOVERNANCE:✅ Native governance systems predate the United States Constitution by thousands of years — and many foundational American democratic principles including consensus-based decision making, federalism and separation of powers were directly influenced by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and other Indigenous governing structures✅ Tribal sovereignty is not a privilege granted by the federal government — it is a pre-existing right that was never fully extinguished, recognized in hundreds of treaties the U.S. government has repeatedly violated✅ NotoriousBGP explained that Native nations operate as government-to-government entities with the United States — meaning they hold a fundamentally different legal and political status than any other group making claims on American identity or resources

Same format, the same humour, and poking more fun at the woke entertainment industry.The ongoing battle between "woke" players, big studios, shady producers, and major corporations trying to buy pop culture influence, has turned into a culture war. On one side, there are people like us who just care about good stories, without the influence of tick-box agendas being forced upon us through films, pop culture, comics, video games, and more. On the other side, bad actors are trying to influence everything we enjoy and consume, while we just want to be entertained. As entertainers, we should be able to escape the daily grind of politics, but unfortunately, we are constantly being pushed with political agendas from the minute we wake up to the minute we go to bed.
