If you can give me 3 reasons about how you are oppressed SPECIFICALLY by WHITE people alone, i will shut up.

You don’t care about me or what I go through; I am not playing your game. You will justify your bigotry regardless of anything I say. And your sense of entitlement is too deep to shut you up when given proof.
You need to stop posting about how awful "white people" are, especially considering that you are one. White people can't help from being white much like black people cant help from being black. You're racist for preaching hate against a race. The fact that you call other people racist makes me fucking cringe.

I am Native American.
White people can help stop their oppressive behaviors and holding an unfair position of power.
Defining white privilege and why it is bad is not the same as “hate preaching”; however, oppressed groups are not obligated to love their oppressors. Why should people from oppressed groups talk nicely about their oppressors? To spare your feelings? No thanks. I am not here for you and your feelings.
Post deleted. I would appreciate if you deleted our conversation from your page now.
Still making it all about you and not Native women. I won’t delete it. I have done that for others who always abused that generosity by posting more racist imagery and bragging about their “triumph”, I won’t delete it. But I will hope that you start caring about Native women. Do some research and be an ally rather than an abuser.

Just a small list of Native actresses who could play Tiger Lily in Warner’s adaption of Peter Pan: Julia Jones, Amber Midthunder, Teneil Whiskeyjack, Roseanne Supernault, Q’orianka Kilcher, Shauna Baker, Shannon Baker.

This is what American Indians really look like
”Where’s your horse? Would you bless me? I’ve always wanted to be blessed by an Indian.”
These are the types of questions photographer Matika Wilbur, a member of the Swinomish and Tulalip tribes, has encountered when meeting non-Native people. Such experiences have largely prompted her latest endeavor, Project 562. Wilbur, whose name means “messenger,” wants to use her photography to deliver a powerful message about what it means to be Indian.
Having a full blackfoot great grandmother is having spec of untraceable blood huh?
I don’t know what your blood quantum is; and I do not care. This is not about you and how Native you are or aren’t. This is about your promoting racism against Native women. You are trying to focus on yourself, your reputation, your blood, but this is not about you and your wants. This is about Native women who are perceived as nothing but primitive sex objects. Why would you want to contribute to hurting us?
Im finished arguing about you on this subject, have a nice day, also, I may have white skin but I have some native blood in me, so that post about “white me” which is obviously aimed towards me is inaccurate and somewhat racist.
White people do not experience racism. That post is about you and around 3million other white males and/or white males with some unknown spec of Native blood.
Ignoring me and your racist actions is not going to help you, or more importantly, the Native women you have promoted racism against. You need to reevaluate your actions. Do not add to our harm.
I realize you dont like it, but I feel as you’re attacking me personally for posting this, there was no need for that. Im just trying to be civil about this. All I ask is you delete what you re-blogged from me.
A personal attack would be to insult your appearance or personality. All I have done is give you information as to why that image is so damaging. You react defensively because you care more about your image than you do actual Native women. That photo is harmful. You need to delete it.
white males are more concerned with looking bad when they get called out on promoting the dangerous fetishization of Native women rather than caring about actual Native women..
The fact that you reblogged that from me with that written under the photo is pretty offensive to me, I actually happen to be part native, my great grandmother was full blackfoot, may she rest in peace, and I ask that you remove that from your blog for I feel it makes me look bad for finding that woman beautiful, It is not a “fetish” to me, I find women of all races beautiful. So please remove that from your blog, thank you.
My writing about the exploitation of Native women is offensive to you, but posting a racist, sexualizing image is not? It doesn’t matter if you are Native or not; that image still promotes the dangerous fetishization of Native women.
#costume #design #nativeamerican #tribe #mardigras #gay
the costume you are wearing ( or reblogging an image of ) is a racist stereotype. This image promotes racist stereotypes against Native Americans and is dehumanizing. By reducing an entire race into a costume or a character you are promoting the dehumanization of that race. When a race is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression against that race is inevitable, or in this case, continuous. Please delete this image, and do not wear racist costumes again.

Beautiful.
You know what’s not beautiful? The fact that Native women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault. That 1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their lifetime and around 85% of those rapes will be committed by non-Native individuals. Native women are either absent in media or fetishized. We are characterized in the media as primitive sex objects. This image is a racist stereotype and it also promotes the dangerous fetishization of Native women. Please, delete it.
Uhm I don’t know why everyone is freaking out about Harry right now….???? I mean I am Native American so you can’t say anything against me with this thing..! Someone explain to me the problem because something’s are in fact racist and some thing just aren’t and you guys need to distinguish which especially withy this
Thank you! I’m so glad you said this. I think some fans are just using this catch phrase “cultural appropriation” to bully and condescend. I don’t get it. It was a fantastic headdress, a work of art. It was obviously for sale so the person who made it knew a stranger would buy it. Since when do we segregate art? So only black people can listen to “black” music? Only Asians can buy Asian prints? The artist usually likes it when their work reaches across cultures and is appreciated!
