asked:

i only asked if u were related to her becuz i lived by her and ever since she died had such a great respect for indians. do u blog about cultural appropriation becuz of what happened to her?

so because I am Native American you assumed I was related to another Native person that you lived by..?

so now that she is dead you feel a “great respect” for Native Americans? You did not respect the entire race before hand? Why does her death bring feelings of respect out of you?

Do I blog about cultural appropriation because my grandma was murdered? NO. I blog about cultural appropriation because the racism I experience has ties to cultural appropriation.
