I have respect for all nations I have respect for the past While these things, such as the head dress or any other culturally classified object, are up for debate on who gets to wear them, just stop. Stop attacking people for wearing them- unless you are fully aware of their lineage, shut. Up. You do not know these people (or me), what the FUCK goes through your brain to give you the idea that you hold the “right” or justification of verbally attacking me or anyone else. It’s ridiculous to be called such insulting things as “racist” or “twat” and OMG can we start with the “white girl” comment. It was something like “what is your racist ass doing white girl” with hash tags that said #stopwhitegirls.
DO YOU SEE THIS. YOU JUST CALLED ME A RACIST IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS YOU ATTACKING ME AND STEREOTYPING ME AS A WHITE GIRL. YOU. ARE. RACIST. TOO, you ignorant people! And your words are hurtful!
Tell me how hurtful I was to you PERSONALLY by wearing a fucking head dress. Im sorry but I, by wearing this piece of art, did not force anyone to move out of their native land or take anyone’s life. That is something, unfortunately, that occurred hundreds of years ago. I am not the “white man” that took the country and killed the native Americans. I am a modern American, with many different roots, OF WHICH HAPPEN TO INCLUDE CHEROKEE INDIAN THANK YOU, who lives in 2014. Not that it has lost it’s meaning, but it is completely pointless and rude for you to attack someone for wearing this or anything else. Why can’t you be appreciative that the article is still around and people are every SLIGHTLY aware of the culture, instead of you keeping to yourselves and the awful events that occurred going on forgotten over time? That’s like saying no one should wear eyeliner if you aren’t Egyptian. Or as stupid and insignificant blabbing on about Miley’s wardrobe and dance style for her not being black. Check yo’self.
If you really want to spread awareness and educate people (as I see your goal must be after looking at some of your blogs) STOP MINDLESSLY ATTACKING. Put a message in my ask instead, kindly informing me of the knowledge that you so rudely assume I lack. I happen to be well educated and aware of the history of the “war bonnet”, “head dress” “feathery beaded crown” or whatever the hell you call it. We have different words for everything- stop hating.
You calling me names on a comment and reblog does not solve anything. I’m still going to be proudly wearing that big blue feathered object on my head if I feel like it. Because i can. Because I want to. Because your hate and judgement passes on me are insignificant if not even ATTEMPTED to be approached politely.
End of story, you and I both know that I am not claiming to be a Native American war hero by wearing this. So please, stop.
“its up for debate” no it’s not. native have been telling people to fucking stop for 500 years, it’s not a “debate” just because yall refuse to listen.
“you’re the real racist because you called me white!” lol no white is not a racial slur. if you can say native american i can say white.
“im part cherokee, that means i as a woman can wear closed sacred cultural mens items belonging to a different nation from the other freakin side of the continent!” lol no it doesnt. i’m for real cherokee. EVERY white person in america claims to be distantly part cherokee which is statistically impossible AND irrelevent because we dont wear war bonnets.
now this one is a direct quote “Im sorry but I, by wearing this piece of art, did not force anyone to move out of their native land or take anyone’s life.” wow shut the fuck up you racist asswas, do you have any idea how not cool that excuse is? and it didnt just occur hundreds of years ago, it is ongoing, they are still stealing our land and you are actively participating in our cultural genocide when you prance around ignorantly misappropriating our cultures.
“Why can’t you be appreciative that the article is still around and people are every SLIGHTLY aware of the culture, instead of you keeping to yourselves and the awful events that occurred going on forgotten over time?” OUR CULTURES EXIST MODERNLY, OUR DISCRIMINATION IS MODERN, AND WE ARE NOT FASHION STATEMENTS FOR IGNORANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO LAY CLAIM TO.
“If you really want to spread awareness and educate people” EDUCATE YOURSELF YOU LAZY WHITE ASSHOLE, YOU HAVE GOOGLE.
no one was rude to you to the extreme you are being to us right now, if you had an OUNCE of respect for native people you would have listened to us instead of behaving this way. you are a fucking cracker. how dare you blame US for YOUR racist behavior.
