Listing race in email signature?

[Anonymous]

Out of a deep respect for the land-back movement, I identify the stolen land I’m occupying when signing emails.

This is the most performative one of all. Because people actually ARE in a position to do something about this. Like, just give your house to the tribe instead of cluttering up your email signature. One of those is effective and the other is a mean joke.

I find these signatures helpful. It helps me spot people with potential mental problems and I know to give them a wide berth.

It is not performative nor is it a joke in any way.

Fundamentally, Land Back is about knowing whose lands you’re on, educating others, and taking action to promote Indigenous self-determination.

In other contexts, Land Back means finding creative ways to give back to Indigenous people. In urban settings, where physical land cannot feasibly be returned, Land Back could look like developing a cultural space where Indigenous peoples can hold community. For the average person, Land Back may be paying a voluntary “land tax” to support a local Indigenous tribe or even something as simple as adding a land-back statement to your email signature to acknowledge the stolen land you occupy.

If you find yourself in possession of stolen property, you are morally obligated to return it to its rightful owner. Otherwise you are forcing the rightful owner to bear the loss. You must return the stolen land you own to its rightful owner.

Great. Now some activist will reply with a Molotov cocktail emoji.

I know you are being sarcastic and disingenuous but you are wrong. Since PP was not the one who stole anything and she paid for her land (in this hypothetical) there’s the concept of a bona fide purchaser that protects innocent buyers. Sometimes I think that some white people are so reluctant to acknowledge the past and how they have benefitted from it because they think someone will come and demand all their sh*t and it’s not true.

Do you honestly believe that the land wasn’t stolen?

+1.

The white supremacy, systemic racism, and unearned white privilege in America has never been more obvious than the past month.

Just open your eyes, people!

It's not occupying if you won the war.
