Beyoncé löst mit T-Shirt der #BuffaloSoldiers Kritik aus - DER SPIEGEL
Sehr lustig, zwar distanziert sich die USA ja gerne von ihrer Vergangenheit, aber wenn Beyonce Country singt oder ein T-Shirt trägt, dann kommt gleich "die Afroamerikaner waren es"
Mir fiel dazu ja v.a. das Lied #BuffaloSoldier von Bob Marley ein

#Beyoncé #BuffaloSoldiers #NativeAmericans #history
"A T-shirt worn by Beyoncé during a Juneteenth performance on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour has sparked a discussion over how Americans frame their history and caused a wave of criticism for the Houston-born superstar.
The T-shirt worn during a concert in Paris featured images of the Buffalo Soldiers, who belonged to Black U.S. Army units active during the late 1800s and early 1900s. On the back was a lengthy description of the soldiers that included 'their antagonists were the enemies of peace, order and settlement: warring Indians, bandits, cattle thieves, murderous gunmen, bootleggers, trespassers, and Mexican revolutionaries.'
Images of the shirt and videos of the performance are also featured on Beyoncé’s website.
As she prepares to return to the U.S. for performances in her hometown this weekend, fans and Indigenous influencers took to social media to criticize Beyoncé for wearing a shirt that frames Native Americans and Mexican revolutionaries as anything but the victims of American imperialism and for promoting anti-Indigenous language."

“More disturbingly, the admin & its ideological allies are erasing the accomplishments of #Black #ServiceMembers from the nation’s #military narrative. Units such as the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the #HarlemHellfighters; the #TuskegeeAirmen; the #MontfordPointMarines; & the #BuffaloSoldiers are no longer central to the story the military tells about itself.

In the #Philippines, my Filipino grandfather and his brother joined the US 9th Cavalry (also known as the Buffalo Soldier regiment) just after the Philippine-American war (which the Philippines lost when the US colonized the the country). But they were both good clarinetists, and ended up in the (very large) Philippine Constabulary band, led by Lieutenant Col. Walter Loving. They performed at International Expositions around the world. http://www.jenniferhallock.com/2020/09/13/walter-loving/

Stumbled upon this Kareem Abdul-Jabbar narrated video tour of Ft. Davis in West Texas. Presumably for interest in the Buffalo Soldiers that were stationed there. This is a real curiosity. Kareem the Dream in a Cowboy Hat: I thought I saw it all.
