cultural genocide in North America
This, this right here, this is why “white people” cannot wear our things, cannot appropriate our customs or languages. Because y’all did this. y’all continue to do this too.
Dont blame an individual for the decisions of a society We all come from different backgrounds and ethnicities Just because a few people are bigots and rude and disrespectful, doesnt mean that every single person in that society is.
Who has the right to tell you what to say or do or wear to celebrate and honor where you came from?
Another question is who are you to sit there and tell me that I cant do things to honor and celebrate my background or honor my friends’ backgrounds just because my skin is white. Beneath my white skin lays so many other layers of culture and history. Just like everyone else. Not just Native Americans.
Does that mean that I cant go to a powwow with my friend, who is native american, to celebrate her peoples’ traditions and honor and respect who they are because I’m white? Same goes for my adopted grandmother, who is Native American. If she gives me things, like jewelry or other items, does that mean I’m not allowed to wear because I cant respect it that same as an actual, birth and blood, Indian?
Does it mean that I cant wear my handmade purse from India that a family friend, who is born and raised from India, gave to me because I’m white? Or would my wanting to show off the amazing stitching and beautiful handiwork of the person who made it be considered to be unappreciative and disrespectful?
Who the are YOU to tell people that just because of what others say and do, those who are respectful and do care and honor these traditions and cultures cant participate in them out of respect?
You sit there and you’re probably thinking all these “white people” need to check themselves and be respectful and get off their high horse or whatever. But take into account the people who aren’t like that, because I promise you, there are a lot of them! Myself included and most of my peers included.
So why cant you practice the old age idea of love and acceptance that you seem to want for your people and stop being so judgmental of people you dont even know or who aren’t even involved in the same belief system that the assholes who state things like those in this picture.
Or else, what makes you so much better then them?
Shut up, nobody cares about your white guilt tears. You don’t get to touch our stuff. stop whining with your white entitlement complex. let me point you to the next post I made, it will address your bullshit. Now kindly fuck off and leave closed cultures alone.
Wow, evidently you didn’t read that very well did you? Because I never said anything about “white people” being entitled to anything. And I sure know I didn’t say anything that was disrespectful enough for you to cuss at me. And if I did say something, I’m truly sorry. But you cant just post something so biased like that, and not expect someone to say something.
Secondly, how do you even know I’m white? Because my skin is white? How do you know I dont have a mix of Native American in me along with some African American or maybe I have a little Oriental blood, and you come to say that I should shut people out of my culture so that they cant come to learn more about it and respect it like you obviously think all white people should. But in youre little side post youre basically like “Oh yeah, everyone else who’s not white go on with your bad selves and comment on how much you agree with me that white people suck!” and if thats not what you meant, it sure sounded like it.
I’m not whining that anyone is entitled to anything. White, black, Asian, Indian, Native American, I dont really care. In my eyes we’re all equal. You dont need to get angry at me because I have a different set of thoughts than you. And you cant get upset at me for defending the people who agree with me.
I never came at you to attack you or dis you or talk disrespectfully at you. If you think I did, once again, I’m sorry. But no matter what, you’re just making yourself come off mean and rude because I spoke against your oppinion because you seem to be making it out like all white people are horrible.
I’m not saying some aren’t always respectful. My own grandfather is very racist. But that’s how he grew up and I was raised in a very mixed community with friends and peers of every ethnicity you can think of.
And no matter how you look at it, you’re being very racist and you are being rude to whatever followers you have that aren’t apart of your ethnicity.
I honestly dont think anyone is trying to steal anyone’s culture. Some things, I can understand, like when people go, “OMFG THAT [incert person/being/animal] IS LIKE, MY SPIRIT ANIMAL!” things like that can be offensive, I know. But when it comes to other things that you feel other cultures “steal” from yours, in a way, is it not like a form of flattery when someone genuinely thinks thats something interesting or beautiful? Be it music, way of dress, or cultural beliefs.
Instead of being so rude about these things, cant you just correct them in a kind manner? I’m not sitting her, intentionally trying to piss you off, I’m just trying to show you a different way then how you seem to visualize every single “white” person as a racist and unintelligent bigot who likes getting a laugh at the expense of other people. 90% of the time, we’re more likely to make fun of ourselves then others.
Presenting without commentary for your entertainment, dear followers, because it’s hilarious how racists like to ramble like people care.[fixing the formatting, for some reason my phone ate the comment tree]
Its hilarious how much someone like you bitching about how racist people are to your people, is actually being super racist to anyone who has pale skin
there is no such thing as racism against white people.
calling out white people who are stealing our cultural and bastardizing it is not racism.
