I wish Native Americans are ruling this country to be honest

i think that can brink on the side of racial fetishism. Not that you're ever going to sexualize them, but seeing one race as "royalty" might turn some heads.

Its great that you respect them, as we all should, but might want to rephrase your statement.

I don't take the royalty statement too seriously if that makes sense.

Yeah I feel you and I figured. I just think that's more of a "keep in my head" thing, and instead just showing a great appreciation might come across a little smoother.

Sorry if this is coming across rude, i just don't want to see you end up being flamed for describing your thoughts elsewhere.

You're right, and I appreciate sharing your thoughts. I should be more careful with cultural context. Thank you.

Navajo politics in the past… 😬 I’ve never been bothered to look into it but I know it’s been rife with some corruption most notably embezzlement. Now I feel a lot of this new blood has been decent but I just couldn’t say because obviously I know nothing. With what opinions you hold, they’ve been pretty strict with COVID restrictions but that may be due to a pretty morbid start for the Navajo nation in the beginning stage. Also, it’s a dry Nation and I’ve never been fond of that kind of governance. :( …I don’t know about other tribes either but I’m just speaking from experience. Sorry I’m high but what I’m saying is as a Navajo person myself I don’t want them ruling the country no thank you 🤣 let’s please just leave it to educated people which would totally include Native Americans by golly I’ve met some incredible NA college graduates.
