I've done enough digging to find out that we have to be suspicious about what we were taught. American history as taught in public schools is desperately lacking. When you get into the history of race in America or in the world, we've flat out been lied to. On purpose. Get Curious.

Support Kellie Snider ❤️ I'm on a path of discovery of self and community that involves looking at discrimination, its sources and how to change it. I began by looking for the beginning of racism in this country. There was no Before Racism in this country. That's why, for white people, it seems so There was no Before R

I grew up in a mostly white Oklahoma town where people told me not to “talk about race.” The TV news showed me everything they didn't say. Fire hoses. Police dogs. Acid in a swimming pool. See my work by scrolling down my home page:

Rich people have always set White people against Black people so nobody looks up and notices who is actually taking the wealth. That divide-and-conquer story still works because it feels familiar, not because it is true. See the full breakdown at instagram.com/kelliesnider...

I DO NOT HATE MYSELF! I DO NOT HATE MY RACE! The haters have come out on Facebook! Talking about what White people did in our history isn’t "hating myself". It’s honesty, accountability, and a path forward.

The Pilgrims weren’t freedom-seekers in cute hats. They were ridiculously strict Separatists under group indenture to England who later seized Indigenous land--and people. The myth hides the power they gained from Whiteness. Watch here:

It’s tempting to tune it all out—especially when things feel heavy.
But if we stop paying attention just to feel better… what kind of future are we building?

Stay curious. Even when it’s hard.

@jengaita.bsky.social I am interested in the proposal you contacted me about for a podcast interview. Im not on Bluesky too often, but on TikTok and Insta Im @kelliesnider.art.

The spay job helped significantly. I'm not one of those cases that didn't really need it. I really did.

Girl, this was me back in the day. I ended up having a complete hysterectomy at 44 due to adenomyosis. It was pain, bleeding, and depression 3 weeks out of the month!

We must use our art for activism! ❤️ 💙 💜
