Ehh I didn't know about the controversy much until this secret, but there's a world of difference between someone who acknowledges their ancestors did some very fucked up shit Vs. Her schtick of being proud of her family(her husband's) heritage and branding herself as a "simple country woman" despite being married in to one of the richest most powerful families in Oklahoma.

If there is anything to dislike personally about pioneer woman (even without any of her own very terrible comments) is that she portrays herself as a working class mother when she's very much so in an extremely wealthy place of privilege.

Her family (the Drummonds) still owns large swathes of Osage land, were "guardians" of reputedly 10 Osage adults and children and are still actively profiting from that land. They apparently even promoted the fact that pioneer woman businesses are near where the Scorsese film was shot when the movie came out. Ofc not mentioning the role that family had as one of the "Killers of the flower moon".

I don't really see racism in the deleted blogpost? I'm probably missing something though?

Ugh though her at her writing style. It is just that too cutesy snark that all those 'housewife'/mommyblogs had for awhile there. I never cared for it.

nayrt

Well, she calls the natives both "Indians" and "shrewd little boogers" but make of that what you will.

"Gross that thepioneerwoman calls Natives (or, her word for us, "Indians") "shrewd little boogers" for maintaining our mineral rights in a 2006 post now scrubbed from her blog. "
^ down below prior screenshots by the twitter user

"Now the Indian tribe in our area owned the entire county until 1906, when the tribe then alloted it to individual tribal members, who were then free to sell their parcels. The tribe, however, retained the mineral rights (oil ownership) to all the land. (Shrewd little boogers, weren't they?) It was a very good ranching country and since none of those Indian [members?] had no interest in working the land themselves, this was a prime opportunity for one to..."

^ this is written by the woman herself. Again, not acknowledging that that family more or less swindled it from the Osage people and again, all heresay online, still own the headrights sold from a white man who married an Osage woman explicitly for her land.

It's particularly despicable to call the Osage "shrewd" for managing to retain valuable rights TO THEIR OWN LAND while simultaneously being legally infantilised and barred from handling their own money, which in turn made them vulnerable to unscrupulous white men who were appointed guardians of that money, who then proceeded to marry Osage tribe members, gain control of those valuable rights, then murder their wives and get rich in the process.
