Lawmaker condemns ‘white Christians’ who adopt needy Native American children

By Bob Unruh

Those “white Christians” who adopt needy Native American children are guilty of “genocide,” according to one state lawmaker in Minnesota whose rant was made available on social media.

“I’m sick of white Christians adopting our babies and rejoicing. It’s a really sad day when that happens. It means the genocide continues,” charged Heather Keeler, a state representative from Moorhead.

The Tennessee Star report she continued, “If you care about our babies, advocate against the genocide! Help the actual issues impacting Indigenous parents, stop stealing our babies and changing their names under the impression that you are helping.

“White saviors are the worst!” she said.

She is pursuing her special interest as a lawmaker, supporting a plan to incorporate parts of the federal Indian Child Welfare Act into state law.

That federal law is currently under challenge and a ruling from the Supreme Court is expected this spring.

It classifies children by race and gives tribal authorities absolute control over the adoption of Indian children. It has been used to devastatingly negative results in several cases where children unwanted by their birth parents have been given care by potential adoptive parents.

Tribal authorities, however, then have stepped in and have sometimes dispatched the children to unrelated strangers who just happen to be on tribal rolls.

Rep. Alicia Kozlowski, a Democrat from Duluth, said, “Throughout history, the United States and Minnesota have carried out intentional and horrific methods of removal and disconnection of our native children from their families, their culture.”

The bill would require, in state law, “The state of Minnesota recognizes all federally recognized Indian tribes as having the inherent authority to determine their own jurisdiction for any and all Indian child custody or child placement proceedings regardless of whether the tribe’s members are on or off the reservation and regardless of the procedural posture of the proceeding.”

Keeler claimed, “Raising our next generation and keeping them in our indigenous families is essential to preserving our culture, language, traditions, and way of life.”

Alpha News reported Keeler said, “We need to protect our indigenous families and the integrity of our relatives. Our next seven generations are sacred to our community, and taking them away and stripping them of their identity is a form of genocide. ”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.

This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.

This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.

Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.

That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
