My native American headress came ^.^ it has these lovely little leather discs on the sides and also little fox tails hanging down.
This is actually exactly what I needed after a horrid day at work and then being an emotional drunk all evening haha
im convinced that the people who do this shit live no where near natives cause if they did someones cousin would call his boys n nem to fancy dance on this hos face
holy shit
People you need to calm THE FUCK DOWN about this.
If she were wearing it to mock Native Americans or make light of their culture then that would NOT be ok and i’d say fire away with the anon hate.
But she’s wearing this because she enjoys the look. I wouldn’t get horribly offended if someone wore something sacred to me because they enjoy the look of it instead of the meaning behind it, I wouldn’t be an anal retentive asshole like a lot of people on tumblr seem to be.there’s a difference between social justice and being a petty piece of shit who doesn’t know how to pick their battles, OK?
I gentle reminder to her that she should respect and take proper care of the headdress would be enough.
I highly doubt she means any offense.
intent is irrelevant because whether she wears it to be cute or offensive it still serves the same end. These images are racist and dehumanizing. Telling Native people to get over it is not okay. We have every right to be offended when we are stereotyped and dehumanized. We have every right to discuss these harmful images. You do not have the right to silence us.
