Hoodoo is a CLOSED religion. It is for Black Americans only. The descendants of Black American slaves. It is our birthright. There are no buts, no what abouts, no first Gen, no "I was born here", no "I was raised around". It is for us, by us ONLY. Happy Soulaan 🖤🇺🇸🔱

Autochthonous fits Soulaan without requiring us to claim Native American identity. It describes an American-origin, place-rooted people whose communities and culture developed here and comparable in that respect to Louisiana Creole and Gullah Geechee. 🇺🇸🔱

Gary, Indiana is still without power and the people in power or so call activists haven’t spoken up or did anything about it. Soulaan we all we got

🔥🍗 SOULAAN CREATED NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN. Born from the Thornton Prince/Prince family tradition in Nashville, Tennessee. Before “Nashville Hot” became a national flavor, it was a Soulaan family tradition. Tennessee heat. Soulaan hands. American creation. 🇺🇸

🔥🇺🇸 SOULAAN CREATED & DEVELOPED AMERICAN BARBECUE. Generations of Soulaan pitmasters helped build the Southern tradition of smoke, fire, slow cooking, whole-hog preparation and communal feasting. American soil. Southern fire. Soulaan hands. Soulaan creation. 🔥🍖

Ethnicism over Racism. Racism describes the mechanism. Ethnicism identifies the people being targeted. When every Soulaan-specific injury is reduced to generic “anti-Black racism,” our lineage, institutions, culture & history disappear behind a racial classification. Name the people: Soulaan.

Black & Negro historically functioned as imposed racial/color classifications, later adopted as self-identifiers. Soulaan functions differently: a national-origin ethnonym and civilization identity naming an autochthonous American people. Soul is our culture. America is home.

🥁🔥🇺🇸 SOULAAN CREATED GO-GO. Born and developed in Washington, D.C., Go-Go was pioneered by Chuck Brown and carried forward by Trouble Funk, Experience Unlimited, Rare Essence, Junkyard Band, Backyard Band & generations of D.C. musicians. Soulaan rhythm. D.C. creation. American culture.

🌙🎙️🇺🇸 SOULAAN CREATED QUIET STORM. Washington, D.C. • 1976. Melvin Lindsey created the Quiet Storm radio format at WHUR, building a late-night sound around smooth Soul & R&B. Soulaan sound. D.C. innovation. American creation. Lasting legacy. 🌙🎶🇺🇸

🍚🔥🇺🇸 SOULAAN CREATED DIRTY RICE. Rooted in Louisiana kitchens, Dirty Rice reflects generations of Soulaan Southern foodways like rice, seasoned meats, aromatics and bold seasoning transformed into an American classic. Louisiana roots. Soulaan hands. American food. Soulaan legacy. 🇺🇸

The root of the Soulaan people is in U.S. soil. Soulaan emerged, developed, and continues as a people within the United States. Outside of that homeland, Soulaan people may travel, reside abroad, or expatriate, but the origin and center of continuity remain in America Soil

I'm not going to sit in my own misery and self-doubt. I'm a work in progress living life that is also a continuous work in progress controlled by people who don't care. Some things are my fault, and I take on those responsibilities, and for the things that aren't,

So I go into one of the discord servers I'm in that identity as soulaan, and I'm pushing two organizations that would be a benefit to the culture as a whole (Freedmen rep fund and soulaan polity)and before anything else is complaints.

soulaan culture, like many indigenous cultures, is a closed culture. so, when i talk about how i'm hesitant to show or talk about every cultural thing with non-black people in depth, it's due to the rampant appropriation and minstrelsy that we've faced for hundreds of years. +

Every ethnicity has boundaries. Every lineage has rules of membership. Every people defends their culture. Only Soulaan are told to remain borderless and undefined. That expectation is not solidarity as it’s exploitation.

As one of the creators of the term Soulaan, I’ll say this: preservation isn’t exclusion. Our culture has been extracted, renamed, and commodified for generations. As the imperial empire crumble, people are reclaiming lineage, memory, and identity. That’s stewardship

The accusations come from the same groups who’ve been: 1. Subverting our identity 2. Disrespecting our autonomy 3. Commodifying our culture 4. Degrading and dehumanizing us 5. Inserting themselves into our politics Boundary-setting after all that isn’t tribalistic it’s overdue.

We’re not reacting in a vacuum. Soulaan people lived through genocide, cultural suppression, mass exploitation, and political sabotage. Asking us to respond gently while others ignore the violence we’ve endured is just another attempt to control the oppressed.

000

Calling Soulaan boundary-setting “tribalism” is a distraction. It’s not about our tone or approach as it’s about outsiders losing access to an identity they freely exploited. When a people reclaim themselves, the ones who benefited from their erasure always panic.

D’Soulaan @souland.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Lineage and ethnicity aren’t tone-based. They’re not opinions or ideologies. They’re empirical facts rooted in ancestry, continuity, and culture. The only time this becomes “debatable” is when Soulaans assert it. That double standard is the problem.
