Go back in time to save turkeys from being a popular meal; but doesn’t go back in time to stop the white settlers from committing genocide against Native Americans.
Genocide seems like a good subject for a kids movie.
There are children who experience genocide, who’s people experience genocide, who’s people have experienced genocide. there are children who can’t not know about genocide.
there are appropriate ways to discuss genocide without scarring or harming a child. and for those who live with or live with the knowledge of genocide do they not deserve representation? who is really being protected by not discussion genocide? the oppressive group, not the oppressed.
there are children’s movies that hint at or depict genocide, in a less traumatizing way; films such as Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron, Pocahontas I & II (though vague and incorrect) and more. Disney films have depicted murder, death, loss, etc in a way that doesn’t harm most children. it is possible to discuss rough subjects with children. I am an educator, and I know that in California we start discussing genocide of indigenous peoples in fourth grade, when children are around 8 years old.
Back to this movie. Out of all the ideas and valid options there are for making movies about saving animals, they chose to have a setting that presents native americans and they chose to go with saving turkeys. this film set the stage and chose turkey over native americans.
Because its a fucking children’s cartoon, not a historical documentary. Its there for fucking entertainment.
it’s. setting. made. native americans. relevant. all peoples involved in this film made a choice. they chose to prioritize turkey over native americans.
they didn’t have to go back in time at all. similar to the movie Happy Feet, about a penguin who got media attention for dancing, which sparks public interest in preserving their (the penguins) lives. the film could have been like that. a turkey who is so cute or whatever that people start caring about their lives. it could have easily gone that way or a number of ways. they chose to have the setting be with native peoples who encounter white settlers. they set the stage. and they prioritized. white vegans often prioritize animal lives over poc.
I'm a bit confused by a recent post of yours. You were saying that white people having "pale" in their blog as a description is promoting white supremacy (I'm paraphrasing so if the meaning/context is off I apologize), I'm a bit confused by what you were talking about. Were you saying that people who run blogs with like pictures of white people and just white people and calling it a pale lover blog or something is racist - or saying that for white people to describe THEMSELVES as pale is racist?

people who have blogs were they exclusively post photos of white people promote white supremacy. there are blogs called “pale blogs” were they post photos of “pale” things, and when they post photos of people they only post pics of white people and it promotes white supremacy.
sometimes I wish Black folks were just as cold hearted as white folks.
But I always remember, we would never stoop that low to dehumanize and celebrate a person’s death. You will never see us out here mocking someone’s last words. You will never see us praising a person that murdered a white person.
We are too human for these people. I am proud of us.
the hilarious thing about this is that they dont see the irony of 3 middle aged white men wearing these shirts. Yes you can breath because you’re the one applying the pressure.
“Yes you can breath because you’re the one applying the pressure.”
Yes, that is what Giuliana Rancic actually said about Zendaya’s dreadlocks. In associating Zendaya’s appearance with drug use, Rancic played into some deeply entrenched and harmful stereotypes about people of color and drugs. No one understands this better than Zendaya herself — and her response truly deserves a standing ovation.

There are large numbers of nazi followers, Ku. Klux Klan members, and “Neo-nazis” in Northern California. There are large groups in (but not limited to) Chico, marysville, Olivehurst, Dobbins, Brownsville, Oroville, and many more towns in California. Know your town’s history and it’s modern culture. Nothing has changed.

Police murdering black people is continued acts of genocide still being committed in the u.s. I have heard many white people say genocide is over in the u.s. and yet police officers are murdering innocent black people without getting in trouble for it. We know the definition of genocide, we know that it is not only murder but forced assimilation, relocation, the destruction of a culture, rape, and murder. And black people are still being murdered 28-31 times more than white people by the police and we aren’t calling this a genocide?
