We not Native to America, we Indigenous to America..We have no Culture, we the Culture & Inventor.

Overview

The video opens with a blunt, song-like monologue rejecting fake handshakes, forced smiles, and insincere “brotherhood.” Its refrain is that the speaker would rather be openly distant than act friendly while speaking behind someone’s back.

Rebel’s Address

The main segment is a long, heated address from Rebel, who says it has been about four years since her “Black Nobility” video. She argues that Black Americans are Indigenous to America rather than descended from Africans, and rejects claims that they have no distinct culture. Her repeated refrain is: “We are the culture.”

She cites soul food, braiding, Double Dutch, block parties, blues, jazz, rock and roll, and hip-hop as examples of that culture. She also lists inventions that she attributes to Black Americans.

Much of the speech challenges familiar accounts of slavery and American history. Rebel questions how the transatlantic slave trade could have occurred as commonly described, disputes the origins and identities of historical figures, and recites a long list of conflicts and massacres to argue that warfare against Indigenous people continued for centuries. She also rejects the idea that Haitian fighters in the American Revolution were fighting on behalf of Indigenous people and repeatedly urges viewers to investigate her claims themselves.

Other Topics and Tone

The presentation is confrontational and digressive, shifting among historical arguments, contemporary politics, religion, immigration, and personal identity. Rebel plays a clip of a woman discussing hostility between Africans and African Americans, presenting it as support for her argument. She also repeatedly directs viewers to a video called “Urban Hell.”

The speech ends with warnings about people Rebel views as outsiders, calls for Black Americans to “wake up,” and advice about personal safety.

These are Rebel’s claims and opinions. The video does not establish them as fact, and many of its historical assertions are disputed or inaccurate.
