Maybe white people can start their own tribes too?

That’s weird, I’ve always been taught that it is unconstitutional to start another “internationally recognized nation” within the sovereign boundaries of the Unites states?

I was even taught that this country once fought a war over that issue.

And yet, here we are...

“Webe Gullah Geechee”?

Really?

Well, “Ibe American”...

With apologies to Longfellow:

By the shores of Gullah-Geechee
By the shining Atlan-tic-Sea,
Stood the wigwam of...

... Queen Quet?

Why does this sound so much like an episode in the TV series "Leverage"?

I have some computer skills. Maybe I should make like Hardisan and create a nation too!

The Gullah are low-country blacks. Once you get away from the cities, they’re pretty good folks.

This is a hoot, but VERY politically incorrect:

Wow who knew as a (white/Euro ancestry) person living in Wilmington, N.C. I now live in another nation (and why I have I never heard this before)?

She must be a relative of Michelle Obama’s. I remember reading that her ancestry goes back to the Gullah peoples who lived off shore along the East Coast of NC. SC. GA. I didn’t realize it goes all the way south to Jacksonville, fl.

I've always loved and been fascinated by Gullah, and I hate to see it politicized, but it was inevitable.

So let me get this straight . . . when the "indigenous peoples" say they want all non-indigenous people out, they mean only the white ones? Non-white people who don't belong here get to stay? The same way all non-whites, indigenous or not, get local control and a society based on their traditions while white people have to be mid-nineteenth century European materialist intellectuals?

I wonder what old Karl Marx would have made of this Marxism of "blood and soil?"

Anyone recall a PBS kids show from about 20+ years ago called Gullah-Gullah Island?

Acording to Frederik Pohl, the Heechee nation is extinct.

Oh, wait a minute.

Never mind.

“Hmmmm .... Can they do this ???”

It worked out so well for Jefferson Davis and his buddies.
