Being honest is not cruelty. If I wasn’t being kind I would be insulting these people; instead I give them facts. Telling racist people the truth is not an attack; if anything, they are attacking Native Americans with their racism.
Telling me to calm down and be nice is trying to silence me. I will not be silenced. And by telling a Native person how to feel and how to act is not okay. These racist images affects me and affects all Native Americans. These images are harmful, dehumanizing, and racist.
