If we can’t have a team call the Redskins, we can’t have a store called Dick’s.

Supervisor, at work.

Note: the Dick’s in question is Dick’s Sporting Goods, founded in 1948 by Richard Stack. Supervisor refuses to call it “Dick’s” citing the ‘politically correct world we live in.’

I did not reply, because I promised myself an ice cream if I made in another week without punching him in the face.

indigenous-rising   just because you do not understand racism and cultural appropriation does not mean I am wrong. you should read up on these topics. cultural appropriation is an act of racism and if you support it then you are supporting racism.

we-all-share-one-moon   just bc you don’t agree with what i am saying doesn’t mean that i am wrong. there are all different kinds of people in this world with all different kinds of opinions. if you can’t deal with that, oh well. i don’t really care. you completely ignore your own racism while attacking others saying they are racist. like i said you are a bully. and a racist. and a closed minded individual. you are far worse than these people that you are attacking via the internet. i do not wish to further this discussion with you bc i do not respect you therefor i do have nothing nice to say. i sincerely hope that someday you realize how messed up your way of thinking is. best of luck xx

1. Yes there are people in the world with different opinions; however, white people do not get to decide what is and is not racist towards Native Americans. Cultural Appropriation is widely accepted as an act of racism.

2. I am not racist for telling people “posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism” nor is describing cultural appropriation an act of racism.

3. I am not a bully for defending myself and my people. If anyone is bullying it is the people posting racist images of Native Americans. Telling white people they did something wrong is not being a bully.

4. I am not worse than the people posting racist images. They are promoting racism. I am calling them out on it. They are the ones in-the-wrong.

this-is-not-native:

Red Indian is a racist slur and this photograph is wildly inappropriate.

Its a little over sensitive to say im being racist… I only used the tag red indian so it would be easy to find. If every group got so worked up over costumes being made in reference to them then surely it would be chaos… cowboys, medicine men, tribesman etc, people even go to costume parties as English gentleman…. my friend simply bought this to go to a cowboy/indian party… nobody is making racist slurs against ANYBODYs people……………

posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism

red indian is a racial slur

you are promoting racism and by defending your racist photo shows you are racist. these images are not okay. you use a racial slur as you dress up in a cheap costume that mocks and belittles our existence.

if you are not racist (even though it’s clear that you are) then attempt to learn about cultural appropriation and listen to Native peoples when we say this isn’t okay.
