My Story - Alexis Raeana Jones

[@Charlene-gs8gk]

She's very beautiful with a very beautiful voice 😊

[@kenlowery9051]

I say to you young lady let this be a lesson well learned...with that said do know people make mistakes. Let's not tear this young lady apart let's lift her up and show we are a caring and loving culture..do not judge this young women over one bad decision..let's teach our youth that you can move forward and overcome any obstacles..and to forgive is the greatest gift we have

[@msNativegal]

You have such a beautiful voice ❤ You and Jana Mashonee represent the Lumbee people well with your voices. Don't worry about what the critics say, everyone makes mistakes. It's how you respond to them that truly represents your character, just ask Radmilla Cody -- Miss Navajo Nation. You're doing a fine job 👍

[@ItsShawnieboyy]

Agreed with you. We all make mistakes and hope you learn from this one. Watch your friends and who suppose to be real friends. Hope all decisions are made to the fullest of righteousness. ❤️

[@lumgal]

Glad to see the apology. I said this when I shared the first video...always loved you and always will. Was just poor decision making, something we all have done. And you are right you have a big responsibility....

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

You been knowing Feli fame for a long time so you knew his life style and the nature of his music

[@AlexisRaeanaJones]

Hey! If you know feli fame Aka cliff you would know that he raps from an alter ego perspective . So it was possible to know him and not know what he was rapping about when you show up to a music video when it's basically over

[@KES_Portfolio]

Hope You win American Idol

[@zacharyjacobs6580]

You have my respect and we all make mistakes and mess up but it takes a real women to take full responsibility for her actions and apologize to her piers and people that look up to them keep your head high and God will be with you

[@stormy-le6pb]

What is that mistake? hanging out with black men? LOL

[@3RDEYEDNTLIE]

Alexis Do you Miss Lumbee! 💞💞💞

[@KES_Portfolio]

She s so pretty

[@vickieramirez990]

You served us so well

[@hollyhoward2438]

WOW! What courageous move Ms. Lumbee..Those individuals that believe people with "titles" are perfect and mistake free should really seek help with the man above. We are HUMANS, even Clinton made poor decisions. Our Lumbee people should focus on our culture and stop with negativity. Ms Lumbee, thank you for your vision for our culture. I hope that this minor hiccup will turn into a major road open for you and our culture. Love Holly Lumbee Pride

[@AlexisRaeanaJones]

You just made my day! Thank you friend!

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

thank you forgive her

[@stormy-le6pb]

You mean focus on "copying other cultures"

[@lifewithtrevvv]

Proud to see such a eloquent message. Keep your head held high Alexis!

[@airbornmobo747ma]

Rise above..

Don’t you never give up

I COULD HEAR YOU TALK FOREVER BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

[@soldierlife8775]

Me too

[@andrewhughes7092]

Sang with pure soul.

[@mrspjacobs]

I don't know you personally, but we all make mistakes and it takes a woman of courage to do what you have done. To me, this proves what a great choice you are for your people.

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

I respect you for keeping it real with the black guy alexis

[@brianpitman3811]

I do not know Alexis. However, it seems that she has made a mistake and has owned up and apologized for that mistake. And, we should not define people by their mistakes, because we all make them. If you did not make any mistake at 20 years old you would be lying. She was supporting a friend and his dreams, which we should all be doing, especially in Robeson County. The Federal, state, and local government do very little for the Lumbee community and Robeson County, the last thing the local and/or Lumbee community should do is turn on each other. Alexis, I hope you are able to move on and continue to pursue your dreams at UNCW and elsewhere. I hope that you will one day come back and make your community and the Robeson County community a better place. I will be proud to call you a fellow UNCW alumnus. I stand with and support Alexis through this difficult time. We all make mistakes and go through adversity. It is not the mistake/adversity that should define you, especially someone 20 years old. Lots of life lies ahead for Alexis and it seems she has every intention of using it to better the community.

[@stormy-le6pb]

She made a mistake for hanging around with black men LOL

[@Ziastarrecords]

Beautiful sister thank you for your kind words and inspiration..

[@MegaAli213]

Beautiful 💖

[@greggoins1518]

This is Greg's daughter, Guenevere. Very heartfelt, respectful, and professionally presented. Best of luck to you!

[@erickafaircloth329]

It takes a brave person to post a video apologizing. Many people are supporting you, I hope nothing but the best for you. Good luck.

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

she meant well

[@bluebird9749]

They didn't like it because it exposed the lumbee as black people. You can't hide it, once you have that much black in you, you are going to like black music.

[@sylviajones3292]

Well spoken my native sister

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

she is a light skin black woman

[@dr.philgoodtv146]

Sylvia Jones she is so beautiful my native sister

[@dakotahope599]

respect and bless you!

[@CroatanIndians]

Stay strong my sister and refuse to be used by the system,learn from this and teach our little ones to beware.

[@melissamcclain34]

I wish you the best and hope everything works out in your favor. There is so much corruption taking place within the Tribe that needs to be addressed and fixed yet they've chosen to dwell on your appearance in this video goes to show how screwed up their priorities are! ❤❤

[@jessicabrayboy5799]

Her make up is on point.

[@Lovejoy1173]

It's way too Harsh. Makes her look manly!.

[@ReintroducingMyself]

Represent!!!💓

[@raynefish7807]

Thank You Alexis.

[@samanthamcgee5186]

Instead of worrying about the video we need to worry about how the lumber tribe is blowing millions of dollars each year building all those "community buildings" when everyday as i pass by them there unused that should be the issue everyone should be outraged about not a video. When there's people struggling everyday to get by and yet have to turn to DSS for help that's what's shameful.

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

they got mad because he was a black man and she was in a black man video when they are mix breeds themselves

[@kristafrog10]

//On the Edge of Infinity\\ FACTS!!!

[@summerlocklear6241]

Lmao what?? I’m Native American and I haven’t heard that my whole life lol where tf did y’all hear that

[@summerlocklear6241]

John Paul lol wtf I’m Native American and have never heard that and why y’all all saying we black but want Amit it??? I think we haven’t said it yet cause we ain’t lol some Native people are light skinned or white as the color white and I actually no that girl cause my grandma and her mom worked together at school and I’m met her before at my cousins wedding and she ain’t black!! I know I’m late but I just saw that and it’s irritated me the fact y’all think that like it ain’t nothing wrong being black but how y’all going to tell someone their own race and it ain’t right and we even have Native American month at our school and never had we heard that

[@summerrain2470]

Rusell Shaw how u going to tell someone what they is and ain’t when I’m pretty sure they know what they are

[@summerrain2470]

Rusell Shaw since u thing u know everything pull up native Americans on the google and see if we are really black lolll

[@roose26]

Even though I know what you have to do so people don't look at you a certain way I respect your way of handling it

[@JohnPaul-hs5os]

That's a black woman a high yellow black woman the lumbee are mix breeds stop the lies

[@summerrain2470]

John Paul lol what she’s Native American cause I know her from doing my cousins makeup for her wedding

[@stormy-le6pb]

@@summerrain2470 And I suppose that just because you here makeup, that it makes her an Indian. LOL

[@aaronwoods5650]

This is your friend from the spring moon powwow. Aaron woods is my name. People are people and will be people. Focus on your life and let others do the same.aho

[@1111go]

Alexis obviously made a mistake and was not seeking to be in this degrading video. I judged her guilty when I first watched the video and not knowing the facts. Her apology was incredible and very sincere. Her real beauty inside changed my opinion fast.It's hard in an upside down world not to get dirt on you but thank God we can wash it off as she has done in this video.For my quick judgement, I'm sorry Alexis.You are a great person. A "Real Queen !! Lumbee Nation and Pembroke can be proud having her as their representative.

[@kristafrog10]

Late, but GIRL BYE! You knew good and well you wanted to be in that video and you knew there was a video going on. Based on your eyes and body language, you did not believe that fabricated excuse that you or somebody else wrote for you on that teleprompter (or whatever you read off of). I don't know you but I just want to say that you were your natural, beautiful self in that video and I want to encourage you to live your REAL TRUTH and it's ok to be ratchet and educated at the same time. Don't mask yourself up with the 'bougieness' that you're constantly surrounded by. Stay encouraged, love.....

[@proudnative2001]

Well said. Keep striving. -Rocky

[@AlexisRaeanaJones]

Thank you friend!

[@bluebird9749]

I wonder when the lumbee will be forced to stop masquerading as Indians when they aren't. Only God knows for sure.

[@jboogie741]

You know what you was doing don't play baby everybody in Pembroke know you a neck I'm going to continue to bump this shit lol

[@shunt710]

Rebekah Revels was innocent you know better than she is she was unaware of what happen but yet to Lumbee tribe you better smh

Why is this video been edited

[@AlexisRaeanaJones]

Because like all people I stumbled over my words while reading my speech.

Its called singing from your Soul, everybody has one even us Lumbees! #Keekee Go Gurl!

[@3RDEYEDNTLIE]

You would have to know us instead of making assumptions!

[@msNativegal]

Also what kind of song were you singing at the beginning of the video?

[@ebonylilyofzion177]

That was Pure fe singing gramma easters lullaby💕💕💕 that is all I know of that tune and I sing it to my son sometimes.

[@stormy-le6pb]

I must admit, she sure is a beautiful woman, but all blacks that are mixed with European blood are downright beautiful. Where I'm from, there are many mullatto's that aren't Indian, and they all look just as beautiful as she does and they are just Black and White. The video she was in, showed a lot of so-called lumbees and as a Native American I could tell they aren't Indian, but instead are just like the Mullattoes that live around where I lived. The so called lumbee are just what your DNA says you are, just African and European, not Native American, zip, zero, zilch, and that is why the so called Lumbee were furious with her, because she exposed them, & one even said, "We will never get federally recognized now". The reason they act black is because they are black, its the black soul that can't be hidden, it must come out, and be revealed. You people are black not Native American. That's why they made her give up her crown. Indians don't sing chants that way. LOL You so called lumbee are frauds not Native American.

[@stormy-le6pb]

@Rusell Shaw Sorry, but its already proven through their own DNA project that not one of them had any Native American DNA. It showed that they were just African and European, just like all 38 million of African Americans in the United States. Blacks should be calling themselves African European Americans, or Black White Americans.

[@stormy-le6pb]

@Rusell Shaw African Americans have no respect for anyone thats why they can lie and not be ashamed of it. The Smithsonian Institution should be ashamed of themselves as well, as they let these Frauds play Indian at the Smithsonian Institute building, copying clothing and dances of the Creek, choctaw and Chickasaw people there, and then back in N.Carolina they copy the Regalia and dances of the Plains Tribes Native Americans there. they have no shame.

[@summerlocklear6241]

2016stormy lol what u mean we are black and I’m not saying that being black is bad but I’m Native American and I have never heard that ever and some Native people are light skinned or white as the color white and my grandmother used to tell me stories about Indians and I’m pretty sure is being Indian she would have brought up us being “black” but she didn’t cause we aint!!! And if u what u can come to North Carolina or other places with native Americans and see we ain’t black and yea we dark but that doesn’t mean we black

[@summerlocklear6241]

2016stormy and I also know this girl cause she did my cousins makeup for her wedding and she ain’t black!! Lol y’all ppl kill me talking about we black and it’s fake like wtf we ain’t acting its real

[@stormy-le6pb]

@@summerlocklear6241 Because lumbee dna project proves that they don't have Native American DNA and your history also proves it, and plus the fact that you people copy the tradition and culture off of other tribes tells off on you people. DNA is the biggest proof. I don't need to go there to see, I can see you people here and you clearly are mixed blood Negro and European, which is why you have copper color skin, and plus the fact that people that come from there all say that you people are not Native. Even congress knows you people aren't Native. North Carolina ought to right the wrong and make you people be what you truly are and that is Negro and European. You're actually African European American or Black White american.

Reeeeeeeee... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't believe you didn't know what was being said in that video but damn you fine

[@leonardgreen3643]

I wish my black brothers would stop dating interracially but they won't because of self hate and brainwashing. I feel that black people need other black people to thrive and maintain the black family. We are losing so many blackmen and women to this interracial dating thing. And I just don't see how it benefits our community. For most pairings interracially it's just sexual curiosity and nothing more. Why wouldn't you want to stay in the community from whom you identify with. I have a better chance winning the lottery than black people staying in there communities. It's truly sad!

[@inyafaithradioandoutreach4643]

This video makes no sense it has no real story line its saying the same thing over and over !!! Very very rude and disrespectful how she represented the lumbee trible !!! She makes our women look distasteful she knew he was promoting drugs and gang activity !!! They should have took her crown !!!
