The Flag Smashers thing made me think of the Buffalo Soldiers and every other instance I know of of two groups of marginalized people being pitted against each other for the sakes of well to do people. On the one hand the show is doing so well with the nuances of antiBlack racism, on the other it uses indigenous movements and indigenous symbols as the base material for the bad guys. I am simultaneously in love nd exasperated.

Also, I know I'm biased, but I curled my lip at John Walker's deliberate having of POC friends. I've been someone's Special Black Friend and that's what that looked like to me.
