ispyanapple-deactivated20130421 asked: I'm fairly new to Tumblr and have no idea if there's another outlet to get a comment to you, rather than a question. I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong, in other words. I've been receiving one hell of an education, lately. I'm glad for it. I used to think that racism was a cut-and-dry thing - black people hating white people is racism, etc. I get it now that racism is...

On Tumblr ignoring racial abuse.
dionthesocialist:
Read the whole thing on The Black Kids Table.
It looks like everyone on Tumblr’s support staff failed basic Civics and Economics, so let me tell you how freedom of speech works. Your freedoms end where mine begin. You may have the right to blog all you want about Neo-Nazism and Culturalism, but the moment you enter someone else’s space and threaten them, you have...

nothingleftbuthated asked: What are your thoughts on the 'native American zodiac' thing that's been circulating? folk reblog it going 'I'm a wolf!!' i dunno... they aren't even saying if it's made up or not and people assume 'native American' means 'all the same people'
Mardi Gras Indians
Hey, just wanted to expand on the answer to lady lemonade. Even though their “costumes” are not historically accurate, they have the blessing of local Houma & Choctaw tribes here in Louisiana because the tradition began as a show of solidarity between two oppressed minority groups. It’s alright with me! And we get a lotta love when we show up for their production. ;)

farteaterpeter asked: Usually you reblog pictures of white people in fake headdresses. How do you feel about "Navajo" and "Cherokee" articles of clothing with inauthentic Native-American patterns, such as jackets/tops/skirts?

ladylemonade4ever asked: On the person that asked about poc wearing war bonnets, do you have any opinion about the mardi gras indians in New Orleans? There is an old tradition of poc men wearing really intricate regalia during carnivale, I think the art of making the costumes is something passed through families. I don't know that much about it but I lived there for a year and saw a few mardi gras indians in the...

mamitachvla asked: Ok this is a weird question, what do you think about mexicans embracing their native side? For example my family is mexican and we identify with our apache side and aztec side (apache on my moms, aztec on my dads) But of course we have spanish is us. Are we *allowed* to celebrate this part of our culture? Sorry if this is super strange

hermionesboobs asked: Hey, I have a question. How responsible is the average consumer for wearing "tribal" (i hate that word tbh) clothing when it's the fashion designers and department stores that really decide what is and is not fashionable? like right now high-waisted shorts and etc? the average person really doesn't decide what's in style, they just follow what's in the magazines. Just...

Not to mention that the whole women-only-like-romantic-softcore-porn thing is incredibly sexist. :S

hfjsadklhfsjadkl asked: I'm not talking about the blog. I'm talking about some of the things you have said, such as: basically saying that people can't be racist against white people, saying that "cracker" isn't a racial slur, you agreed that black people making fun of white people isn't racism, but white people making fun of black people is, etc.
hfjsadklhfsjadkl asked: So why is it okay for PoC to be racist towards white people?

marrymejasonsegel asked: I'm only 1/4, so I guess I am just missing like... my arm or something. That's inconvenient.
falloutlove23 asked: Hey Susanmelons! I'm 100% Native blood! Do I not exist anymore? Or my father? How about my mother, my grandmother, aunts, great aunts, and other such family members who are also 100%? I kinda hope you choke on a damned lego, babycakes!
semanthics asked: Susanmelons is also trolling thisiswhiteprivilege, idk if you've seen it. They're just vomiting their blatant racism everywhere they can, including blasting off at the mouth with the n word. :\ WE ARE IN NEED OF MORE LEGOS.

susanmelons asked: i have native blood as well, that doesn't mean that i'm native american. you may be emersed in the culture, but do you know ANYONE with 100% pure blood? doubt it, highly, but if so thats really great for THEM. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE? fucking high and mighty and special, bring on the hate, please, i fucking love it.
Hey, I have a bunch of old legos from my older brother and my other brother that we don’t use. I will be happy to contribute :D
guys
okay
what if we started a vigilante group where we break into the houses of racists while they sleep and surround their beds with legos
who’s in???!

janellaslaps asked: I work at the lego store. I will personally set up a shop and ship to her house so that we can spill legos on susanmelon's floor.
iftomorrownevercomesweknow-deac asked: I second autgamerswag's response to susanmelon. I hope she steps on all the legos.
sicanettewrites asked: Hey, I hope you don't mind me taking a print screen of susanmelon's online comedy number. HA! Then again, you don't exist, so I guess it's alright. What a fail! They tried.
wastelandrhapsody asked: not really a question here, but i wanted to thank you for this blog. i'm not native american, but it blows my fucking mind that people don't see how dressing up as a native american is like putting on blackface, or mickey rooney in breakfast at tiffany's. people somehow can't equate wearing a warbonnet with pinning on a fake medal of honor. keep doing what you're doing,...
angry-grrrl asked: people like 'susanmelons' really make me embarrassed to be american. anyway, just wanted to throw a positive ask in here, your blog has educated me immensely. thank you :)
autgamerswag-deactivated2012080 asked: susanmelons, that's a new level of arsehattery. I mean I can't even wrap my mind around that level of dingushood. I hope you step on legos.

susanmelons asked: So what IS native? I've known two people who lived on native lands, both in separate parts of the US, and have heard stories of drunken violence, closed-minds, gangs, and fear... Native americans do NOT exist. AMERICANS exist. Hate me, call me stupid, i don't care, we all have opinions and they smell like shit, but where did you get your PhD in being better than everyone else?
girljanitor asked: Do you still have that screencap of the guy on facebook who, when called out on dressing up as a racist stereotype, said "how old are you? everyone knows they're (native americans) made up!!!" I was looking through the archive and couldn't find it.

jequitakoyama asked: okay, okay. You say it's "sacred". But what if i wore a cross or other religious paraphernalia? (im atheist) and another thing: how 'native' do they have to be? half? a quarter? also consider natives who adopted non natives into their culture. ie. white kid, native parents, immersed in culture?? You dont know their parents. youre quick to judge. maybe im just an optimist.

We have 6,000+ followers here on TIWP.
Everyday, I receive messages from people of color who tell me how great this blog is, how nice it is to read about these examples and to have a place where they can be compiled. They tell me how they’ve pointed people to this blog when their friends don’t understand white privilege. They’ve told me it’s therapeutic to read an...

tangedolium asked: Hey, I've been reading through your blog and I was wondering if you could give me any kind of starting point on researching Native American cultures. I live in a city in England dominated by clueless racist people, and though I know it's wrong I feel I have no right to call them out as I don't know enough about the people I'm trying to defend. I know it's not my fight, and...

I have a friend who is currently one of the "Native inspired" fashion wearing, animal spirit seeking white girls who has no idea what she's doing is actually really racist. I'm trying to educate her on the topic, and I'd like to also present her with ways she can respectfully honor...
