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 hat während eines Konzerts ein T-Shirt zu Ehren einer Einheit von Schwarzen in der US-Armee getragen. Das Problem: Auf dem Kleidungsstück werden unter anderem Indigene als »Krieg führende Indianer« bezeichnet.

"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."

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.” Several Native influencers, performers, and academics took to social media this week to criticize Beyoncé or decry the shirt's language as anti-Indigenous.
“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.

@sourceofthespring Buffalo Soldiers were used to hunt bison ( the proper name ) to near extinction in an effort to starve native Americans out of existence. Children, women, and men. Indigenous Americans still exist, including the Piscataway Nation that inhabited much of this area.
This event should honor a different African American heritage other than this one where African Americans were used as tools in attempted genocide.
