posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism.
These kind of photos reduces an entire race into a culture; thus dehumanizing that race. Native American is not a costume; it is an ethnicity made up of hundreds of nations, very few of which practiced the use of warbonnets. The nations that used warbonnets have advocated that they do not want non-natives who haven’t earned the warbonnet to wear them. You are perpetuating racist stereotypes and offending the nations by mocking their sacred items.
This isn’t racist at all, I didn’t do anything that could be considered racist and I’m not stereo typing or mocking Native American’s by tagging it as a Native American headdress that’s what it is, in no way did I make fun of them or their heritage. Also before you go and rant at someone you don’t know anything about you should really think about what you say. I actually am Native American obviously I’m not full native. So next time you decide to verbally attack someone by calling them racist when they did nothing racist you should consider the possibility they actually know what they;re doing/talking about.
It does not matter if you have Native blood; which I seriously doubt because that is literally what every hipster who gets called out says. Having a drop of Native blood (or even a large amount of Native blood) would not exempt you from your racist behavior.
This photo promotes racism and dehumanizes Native Americans.
What nation are you from? Do you know which nations you are disrespecting and mocking? Why do you think it is okay to mock a sacred item?
Look i’m getting real sick of your shit. In no way does drawing a headdress on my picture “dehumanizes” Native Americans. Also I’m not a hipster you need to get over yourself because you’re just acting like an idiot I didn’t do anything racist and i’m not mocking them by drawing one. I respect Native Americans and I have no reason not to beside you.
You didn’t answer any of my questions which proves how ignorant you are. I am getting tired of your racist shit. Delete the photo. It is not okay for you to promote racism and be disrespectful of the Native nations that used the warbonnets.
Lol you’re so full of shit how many times do I have to tell you I’M NOT FUCKING RACIST! You’re just an ignorant fuck who thinks they’re better and smarter than everyone else you don’t know shit. You’re pathetic trying to “call me out” on being racist when I’ve said I respect the people and their heritage. The only way this picture could be racist is if I was intentionally making fun of the heritage which I have stated many times you fucking idiot I’M NOT!
^ omg white brat please just shut up and sit down.
You are being fucking racist. Native americans are telling you that they find this offensive and demeaning. That’s it. Your opinion on it doesn’t matter cause you obvious don’t know shit about the customs your stealing or the heritage you mock.
Delete this embarrassing picture of yourself being a fool and go back to blogging about something else.
white people smh
I’m not stealing a heritage like I’ve said I am part Native American. and yes i’m such a white fucking brat (who’s racist now) cause I choose not to delete a picture because some people are taking offense to it when i have stated that i didn’t post the picture to offend anyone.
Your claim is that you are Cherokee; the Cherokee people do not wear warbonnets. Therefor, even if you are Cherokee you still have no right to wear (or pretend to wear) a warbonnet. You haven’t earned the right to wear one; that makes your photo offensive and racist.
I can wear or “pretend to wear” what ever the fuck I want you don’t like it don’t fucking look at it.
It’s not as easy as “don’t look at it”. Even if I never saw your racist photo anyone who does may internalize the racism you are promoting. You are promoting the idea that we are nothing but a costume; you are dehumanizing us, anyone who sees it may follow your lead. You are spreading the racism. So whether I see it or not you are putting more racism out there that directly affect me and all Native peoples.
It’s not racist It’s not a costume and I agree with you that promoting racism is wrong but it’s not racist it’s a fucking drawing on my picture everyone is making such a big deal out of nothing. I understand that it is sacred but i’m in no way trying to disrespect the race or heritage
Many native people have told you they are offended; the nations that use warbonnets traditionally have stated that they do not want people who haven’t earned the warbonnet and haven’t been given permission to wear them which I have already told you.
The tribes do not want you to wear them.
Other Native peoples do not want you to wear them.
How are you not being disrespectful?
You do not get to decide what is and is not racist to Native Americans.
Native people have also told me they don;t find it offensive and you cannot decide what is and isn’t racist either I you have that much of a problem with what I choose to post block me
Cultural appropriation is widely recognized as racism. You are promoting racism. I do not care if you found some white kids who are 1/86th Cherokee to defend your racist actions. You are promoting racism. You need to delete your racist photo.
You need to get a life IM NOT DELETING MY PHOTO
I have a life; a life that you are trying to harm with your racist images that dehumanize my race. You need to live a life in which you do not promote racism. You have been given enough information to know longer be ignorant of your actions; you refuse to delete your photo. You are a racist.
