Hey guys, i know I haven’t posted in a while, but I got this tattoo and it means a lot to me, so yea. 
vvvv Story Below vvvv

When I was 3, my mom and dad got divorced because he was a drunk, drug addict gambler, it wasn’t until I turned 6 that my mom re married a guy named Matt. When I turned 9, Matt adopted me and my sister and I took his last name. When we were younger, he would always do this thing where he would always call me chief. It was annoying at first, but now I realize that he was just being himself and trying to show he cared about my sister, mom and I. This just goes to show me that a guy who I am unrelated to in any way, is a better dad then my actually birth father. Thank you, dad.

Love your parents guys.

Instead of getting a stereotyped tattoo why not have your step-father’s face tattooed on you? Why did you pick a racist stereotype?

My step father is cherokee, he called me chief. figured it fit, but I forgot, too many people see an indian and get butt hurt as fuck.

hurrr durr racism, you hate indians hurrr durr, is assuming it’s racist because it’s on a white person’s body, racist?

The Cherokee people do not traditionally practice the use of the warbonnet. And the caricature is a stereotype.

White people missing the point episode #36863379890

I think you’re all missing the point that, why does it matter what image is used when the real meaning is bringing a family together. Like why do you feel so troubled to bitch because its an Indian chief.
All your doing is wasting time, and quite frankl look like a four year old. It’s freedom, you don’t own the rights of an Indian. I’m sure if white guys were more interesting there would be some edgy hipsters getting Larry Bird’s portrait.

Oh wait, even though that’s the exact scenario, it’s not because you are all so full of yourselves and want to sound like a victim.
Give me a ducking break.

You’re not going to make me feel bad or change it, so just stop. K.

the goal isn’t to make you feel bad. the goal is to give you information on why this action is problematic. the goal is to let you see some of our perspectives. the goal is to help you see how this can be offensive and for you to care about the people you are stereotyping. It’s not all about you.
