Indigenous Rising

tone policing.

You are attempting to silence me, a Native person (a Cherokee person), which is an act of racism on your part. You are attempting to exert your white privilege into silencing me. That photo, and the actual event, is racist and promotes genocide and white supremacy. You defended it. Instead of trying to silence me why don’t you take some time to research the Trail of Tears, and why it is such a triggering subject and not okay thing to “joke” about, and listen to actual Native people who are speaking out against the racism they face instead of defending the racism against us?
