"haven't heard from you in a long time. how have you been? are you off methadone now? how is life in general ? oh its Andrej btw. the slovenian dude. the looser one. yeah. that one." - Anonymous

Yep. Been off of methadone for some months now. Life is good!

"You shouldn't hate all white people for what our ancestors have done in the past. Not all whites in this day and age are ignorant racist bigots. It's not fair to stereotype any race, whites included. There are bad white folk and there are good white folk. You will find that in any race." - Anonymous

Mmhm oh yeah.

"You can be racist against white people. People prosecuted Jews during the holocaust. Are you going to say that wasn't A prejudiced crime? People can hate whites just because they are white. Just like people hated blacks just because they were black. Both of those things are extremely wrong The circumstances are different but it's the same exact thing. thinking 'all whites are ignorant' is stereotypical and racist." - Anonymous

Nope. Sure cant be racist against whites. Racism and prejudice are two different things dear. Research sociological racism and race and ethnic sociology..please :)

"Wow, what the fuck's your problem? What did white people ever do to you?" - Anonymous

Well, they exist. Thats what they did to me. 

"About this post: /post/20260812741 you're right it's actually not traditional Cherokee wear (as of pre-colonization that-is). Turbans were only implemented when they took the first few Cherokees back to Europe, they became popular thereafter. As for them looking "turkish" I'm not sure, though." - Anonymous

Oh wow, thanks so much for answering this!!! Perhaps they took them back to a Muslim part of Europe? Or a part of Europe with Ottoman influence?

"english isnt my first language.... what does "spooks" refer to??" - Anonymous

‘Spook’ is a slang term for a Black person. I dont think its widely used outside of the Southern USA..but I could be wrong about that. 

"I just wanted to say that, in relation to the post you just made, I get annoyed by explaining it, too. The best part is when people say "YOU describe yourself as that, so why can't *I* say that word?!" I just glare and go "Have you been *paying attention*?" *headdesk* Why does it have to be like that? Why can't people just look it up on their own?" - Anonymous

Ugh I cant even. I think my least fav argument in the world is “but they say it…so why cant we?” 

White people are afraid to step off their perceived pedestal and level themselves with the rest of human kind.

džulory ladžala: Things I am; Things I am not.

"Ouch, that really hurt. I asked you a question, as I stated from the beginning. "I am trying to explain to an individual why they should not wear tribal headdresses" No, you're not saying somebody can't represent who they are at all. And calling yourself a gypsy is just plain out contradicting. You are your own stereotype, hunny. Oh, and I'm anon because I don't have a tumblr. I was told about your ignorant post, and decided to say something. That is all." - Anonymous

Fucking.quote.me.or.stop.wasting.my.goddamn.time. That is all. Calling myself a Gypsy is not contradicting at all, and if you are too stupid to understand that..well, I am not sorry, and I am not surprised. So, stop typing paragraphs of utter bullshit to me, and quote me. Simple. Show me where I said that ANYONE cannot represent who they are. Show me. Should be reallyyyy easy, amirite? 

And I am sooo sure that *someone* told you about my ignorant post and you dont have a Tumblr, lololol and you came here justttttttttt to talk to me! 

Thats great and all..but…

If you dont have any actual valid arguments for me, and if you cannot show me where I said that someone cannot represent who they are, or that someone cannot represent their tribe, etc..then youre just going to have to sit the fuck down. 

What you seem to be failing to understand is that I am not discussing Natives who are representing their tribes. I am not discussing Rromani women who are Tarot readers. I am discussing people who are misappropriating these, or other cultures. I am not talking about, or discussing, or referring to normal cultural exchange. I am not talking about, or discussing the normal, natural outcomes of living in a multicultural society where cultural exchange and some forms of appropriation are completely normal and a natural outcome. I AM talking about, discussing, and referring to, people who reduce PoC to stereotypes. A white woman dancing in a field with a crystal ball and her titties hanging out saying that shes a “Gypsy.” A white woman wearing bootie shorts and a wife beater with a full Plains headdress on. If you cannot see why those things are hurtful then I actually pity you, since you say you are Native American. I am not saying that ANYONE cannot do those things. 

I am telling them why they should not. Representing who we are, whether white, black, purple or green…is NOT devaluing other cultures traditions by reducing them to inappropriate stereotypes. That is not representing who we are. That is not representing who ANYONE is. That is misrepresentation and misappropriation. Its..pretty simple. 

As a matter of fact, since you cant seem to pose any valid counter arguments, I am going to recommend some reading material for you, since, quite obviously the ongoing ideology of white superiority in this country has gotten to you subconsciously and you cant seem to wrap your head around why white people shouldnt run around patting their mouths yelling “OH OH OH OH OH!!! hahahahahahahaha HOW! HAHAHA IM PART INDIAN HAAHAHAHA OH OH OH OH!”

"Uhm, where do you get off on telling people what they should, and shouldn't wear? I've seen this so many times on tumblr, and never actually asked anybody, but how do you even know if that person doesn't just like the way a native or gypsy looks, but actually is one? I'm so sick of people judging the shit out of everyone just because they "believe" that they know what they're talking about. I'm a native american. Who's gonna tell me that I can't represent my tribe?" - Anonymous

Where do I get off on telling people what they should and shouldnt wear? Oh..hmm…

Because I AM a Gypsy. Because I do think misappropriative stereotyped ignorant bigotry is bullshit and if you dont then fuck you. I would love to debate this with you, but something tells me youre too much of a bleeding pussy to come off of anonymous and do it, so take your tears and shove them right back up your misappropriative shit hole where they belong.

You know what I am tired of?
People like you.

You are obviously so goddamn daft that you either A. assumed at the beginning of my post what I was talking about or B. are such an IDIOT that you didnt understand it.

Please quote me where I said that you couldnt represent your tribe? Ohhhh fuck. You cant. 

Im sooooo sick of people telling PoC who they think we should be with their incorrect, misappropriative, bigoted assumptions..instead of actually taking the time to figure out who the FUCK we really are.

Now, tuck your tail back between your legs (aw shiz, youre anonymous…you never untucked it)..and go back to the corner where you belong.

Heres your dunce cap.
