Very bothered by the site of a Wombyn in a bikini with what appears to be REAL bald eagle feathers.. Smh
Nothing is sacred anymore!
Exhausted my mind is when seeing constant exploitation of indigenous culture, sacred life, traditional ceremonies & the damn assimilation we know as the land of the free freakin usa which green lights everyone to get away with their ignorances due to the disregarded cultural awareness
We made America what it is today. So yeah it is ours.
Uh… okay. The Natives didn’t make anything here, so yeah, it’s ours. The natives also didn’t have any concept of individual rights and properties.
Shows how much this person knows about other cultures or American history. That’s like me coming into your house and saying “You haven’t decorated or made home improvements I want to make, so it’s mine now.”
And I REALLY hate it when people say Native had no concept of property, because A) There was a huge continent full of people, so not everyone there is going to be the same or be apart of the same culture. Europe is much smaller but everyone agrees the countries are different, and B) Territory is a basic natural instinct that everyone, including all animals, have. And tribes often fought both each other and settlers over it. ‘No concept of ownership’ is a misconstrued notion because many North Americans didn’t have Kingdoms like Europeans had, and it was used as both an excuse and propaganda to justify killing off people.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, Santorum, just no. America is what it is now, and cannot be changed. We had no right to do what we did, but it is done. This place belonged to people whose ideas were different from our own, but that doesn’t make them in any way inferior.
Women, gays, native americans, african americans… is there nothing you won’t hate on or degrade?
Pray we never meet in the street, ricksantorum-2012 and santorum2016. Pray we never meet.
Isn’t part of the way counties expand by war? By taking over. That’s exactly what happened. I mean, it’s not fair that we took away their land, but then again, it’s never fair. But it happens. It’s how it works when a country wants land.
Plus, I’m pretty sure we pay the Native Americans enough money and allow them to break enough laws for it to not matter AT ALL. They’re some of the richest people on America. (especially the Seminoles in Florida)…I am disappointed to see that statement out of someone I follow and like…I really don’t have anything more to say right now. That’s saddening.
lmao @ richest peoples in America.
really? people really believe that? that’s just sickening.
OK, srsly, have you even SEEN a res?
and also, if anybody is really interested in what the US Courts ruled and OUR concepts of property, it’s this (Johnson v. M’Intosh):
1. We occupied the Native American land
2. Which means that we said, “we are Europeans! The White people! And we shall inherit the earth cos GOD said so!”
3. And then we killed the shit out of the Native Americans
4. And then the FRENCH came (who were also European, but also hated the English who were the predominant European) and then there was the French Indian War thingie.
5. And the Natives got some of their land still
6. And then they sold it to these other dudes, who were not the US Government
7. But the US government claimed title, and said, “Yo, You Indians, you only have POSSESSION. YOU ONLY LIVE THERE. We really have the title which either you can sell it to US ONLY, or you can be occupied by us. And by “occupied,” we mean, “Systematically oppressed and rooted out until you give in and sell us yo’ land.”
8. And then we moved them all away from the land with the Trail of Tears.
…So really, you need to realize:
THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED ON RACISM.
@ first the comments are hella IGNORANT! But it takes a conscious person to bring it back to the intentional messages & educate the haters. Pidamayaye.
Thanks so much @therewassomethingwrong and kudos on the plastic wrapping haha. (Taken with instagram)
This is appalling! I am soooo sick & tired of seeing the world appropriate native culture for the sake of style or whatever bullsht excuse you can concoct to sound so insightful
It doest matter, bc whether it’s a Lil bit of feathers&beads or topless wombyn on the left dancing like shes doin some ceremony- seriously?
What “knowledge” or whatever experience resulted in this is just disgusting, it’s not cute in whatever cute creative angle you try to spin it.
To my eyes, and many other traditional natives it’s D E G R A D i N G.
& I pray that I stop seeing so many people, cuz it’s not just hipsters who are fueling such ignorance while appropriating.
Educate yourself before insulting someone by mocking their CULTURE.
