But what kind of creepy, sick thought process is it that white people killed the Native Americans and then want to dress up in the clothing of the people they butchered like do you have any idea how unbelievably fucked up that is
Question- Do you personally believe that if a white person chooses to wear dreadlocks that it is cultural appropriation? Why or why not? (I'm asking a few people of different nationalities and skin colors to gather a (hopefully) representative answer to satisfy my genuine curiosity.)

google cultural appropriation. I am not doing your homework.
white person:
*says something racist*
white people:
*silence*
white person:
*wears a stereotyped costume depicting another race/culture*
white people:
*silence*
person of color (being mocked by said costume):
you know that costume is a racist stereotype, right?
white people:
I wish we could all stop this crazy fighting!

Because you may have Native blood, but do you have the heart to pump it?
If a person of colour tells you that what you’re wearing is offensive then don’t wear it.
Disclaimer: This comic only applies to those [“you” meaning those who wear headdresses where it does not apply to them or their culture, hense cultural appropriation] or have in some way done offense in the term of cultural appropriation and this post was created specifically for said people in order to perhaps gain a better understanding of why cultural appropriation is offensive to many Native Americans [and to whom it applies within any person of colour] and strictly for educational purposes. This post does not mean to offend those who have done some sort of act of unintentional offense to Native Americans in the past by means of cultural appropriation and presently understand the offense that was made and regret it.

Are white ppl ever going to understand that native people actually DON'T get scholarships or free secondary education ? It's a myth made up by the government -- just like most of the treaty 'privileges' we have. Most native people don't go to uni or college BECAUSE they can't afford it,not because they're 'lazy' and 'stupid'. Meanwhile,I know dozens of white ppl with low,barely-passing grades who apply for scholarships and get them with no problems.

I have ndn friends who were able to get scholarships for participating and preserving their cultures; but it is not the same as getting a scholarship just for being ndn. Also, those scholarships were not a fraction of the cost of one “education”. I agree with you. White people want to believe that people of color get their entire education paid for and on-top-of-that, that they got the scholarship and enrollment into whatever college without having earned it. They just want to feel victimize to counteract their white guilt.

WHY ARE PALE FACES SO OBSESSED WITH GETTING SUGAR SKULL TAATTOOS?!
WE LOOK.AT THAT PERMANENT FUCK UP AND THE WORD RACIST JUST POPS INTO OUR HEADS
LIKE WE ALREADY KNOW Y’ALL ARE AS PALE AS A FUCKING SKULL
BUT COME ON
MOST OF THE SUGAR SKULL TATTOOS…I personally didn’t do a thing. And hating an entire race based on the actions of some is exactly racism.
Exactly what you’re angry about.
Hypocrisy at it’s finest.‘I personally didn’t do anything’
But you sure are personally benefiting aren’t you?
When white people hate PoC: it leads to death, less opportunities, lynches, slavery, privately owned prisons, unfair labor wages, unfair college/university opportunities, suicides, etcWhen PoC are made at white people: tears and hurt feelings
We’re still suffering and all yall are just wanting us to forget what happened
But how can we when we STILL see the unfairness.
And we still see y’all benefiting
Y’all have even made millions by making us hate ourselves.
YALL USE OUR SELF HATRED TO GET RICH
how could we not hate you.That white privilege is blinding isn’t itUnfair college opportunities? I can’t get a scholarship UNLESS I’m a PoC or squeeze a kid out.
I’m not benefiting from anything. Everything I have I worked for. I have nothing against any race whatsoever. All we can do is apologize for our ancestors. I base my hate off of a single persons merit and actions, as anyone should.
No my feelings aren’t hurt and no I’m not crying or angry.
I just don’t think you should be screaming “racism” in the same sentence as a racial slur you’re using.Yes of course thats why the California senate just passed SCA-5
And believe me you’re benefiting
You’re living on land that isnt yours and speaking a language that isn’t native to this country
Try that for a startAgain, not my fault.
I just wanted to point out that you’re using all encompassing terms for an entire race and dictating what we should and shouldn’t be allowed to do.
That’s racism. Regardless of how well you think everyone has it.
I’m sorry you’re so angry. I’m sorry you think an entire nationality has something against you.
*pale face out*Is she serious?
She doesn’t want to get told that sugar skull tattoos are racist?
Cause they are
Theyre appropriating culture
Something sacred
And no im not being racist
And apparently since saying sorry I didn’t do that fixes institutionalized racism then
Sorry not my fault youre a pale face
And that youre benefiting from racism and doing nothing about it but complaining that people point out that your complexion is pale
Go say sorry at a reservation and see what it helpsI hate all of this shit. I’m so fucking tired of humans fighting. that’s it.
no you are tired of seeing poc defend themselves and their cultures.

Racism against Native Americans is still so accepted by our society. Please don’t ever forget this. Please don’t ever tell a Native American to “get over the past” when the past is still in the present.

White privilege is being the #1 consumers of welfare, food stamps, general government aid, and illegal drugs, but STILL blaming POC for all of those things as well as incarcerating them at an exponentially higher rate.
