Personal attacks automatically deem your point invalid, but I'll entertain you anyway. A headdress is a CULTURAL symbol. Therefore, a headdress picture is in no way promoting racism because a person wearing a headdress is not a racist. Racism is institutionally excluding a group of people. This brings me back to the MOST IMPORTANT point of racism; PHYSICAL TRAITS sets race apart from culture. Again, educate yourself

Asker's Portrait Asked by 21isthenew18-blog

Answer

1. I haven’t “attacked” anyone. Telling people when they are promoting racism against Native Americans is not an attack. (I do not insult the person; I tell them about the warbonnet, about cultural appropriation, and then refer them to articles written by others on the subject)

2. The warbonnet is a sacred item that must be earned, and used by very few plains tribes.

3. Cultural Appropriation is an act of racism.

4. Research cultural appropriation, systematic racism, institutionalized racism, and individual racism.

5. You do not get to decide what is and is not racist towards Native Americans.
