Lets get things straight:  Im ranting about this because i have the goddamn freedom to, and i know ill get messages calling me a racist and what not, but lets make it very clear i dont give a shit what you say :) 

DEFINITION OF THE WORD ” NIGGER “
A word that everyone else is afraid to define except in utter seriousness, for fear of being branded a rascist, in total ignorance of the colloquial usage of the word, its characterization in popular culture, and the populations of people it is used most by.

a term that is racist, as long as the speaker of it is not black. Forbidden on most all of television and other forms of public entertainment, at times referenced to as the “n-word”. However, “cracker”, a term racist against whites, is a completely acceptable term used in any context of any national broadcast…hmm…

I will say no more, because the definitions i have showed yall clearly stand for themselves. Nigger - Describes an Ignorant, Uneducated, Foolish Individual Regardless of Race, Color, Religion,sexual Orientation Etc.  

 so i will continue to use the word , because there is nothing Morally wrong with me saying so.  Several Black Music artists, Actors, and Celebrities use the term in more than one occasion, and its looked at completely fine. However when a white music artists, Actor, or average everyday person in general uses the term, they are labeled as Racist.   Yet we get called a “Cracker” and its not looked down apon. mhmm. seems fair to me.  Yall agree or no?

NO! No one agrees with you except racists!

The confederate flag is racist! (and plastered all over your blog)

Where is that quote about white people being called crackers?

As white-passing people of color, we have our own set of struggles.

We have to hear all the horrible, racist things that our white friends (and sometimes even our not-white friends) say about people of color that they wouldn’t dare say if we were visible poc. And because we look white, we are expected to be okay with it. We are expected to understand and sympathize with the “I’m not trying to be racist but…” agenda. Basically, we are expected to support whiteness as an ideal.

When we talk about our identities being anything other than white, our white friends act like we are throwing ourselves an unnecessary pity party. They act like we are so full of white-guilt that we are trying to falsely identify as people of color to get away from it. Or, worse (and more commonly), they act like looking white is some kind of accomplishment, as if you were born inherently better than your visible counter-parts, are fully aware of their inferiority, and are being ridiculous or annoyingly humble by also identifying as a person of color. This experience is similar to when visible poc are seen as “credits to their race”. Except that the white-passing, instead of being seen as being better because they aren’t “lazy”, are seen as better by default. As if being born light-skinned, instead being a product of recessive genes, is evidence that we were meant for better things than our visible parents, siblings, and friends.

And we cannot effectively contest it because, when we do, it is held as evidence of our inborn moral superiority to visible people of color; evidence of our grace and humbleness. Yet we are not as good as white people because we are not actually white. We are still people of color, and, therefore, our words are cooed at benevolently and brushed off, as we cannot posses the wisdom and authority that comes with being an actual white person. We are light-skinned because we are better, but we are not white enough to actually be taken seriously. Our purpose in white people’s lives is not as evidence that racism is idiotic, counter-intuitive, and without any basis in logic, but to reinforce the value of racial hierarchy. And anything we say will be twisted and mangled to support the racist schema of the white people who have been kind enough to let us sit around and act white with them.

A self-aware white-passing person is constantly aware of their unmerited advantages and simultaneously unable to do much to convince the white people around them (and often other people of color as well) that we do not deserve to be on this pedestal. Or, rather, that our visible counter-parts deserve to be on the pedestal equally as much, if not more, than we do. A self-aware white-passing person realizes that when they set off a metal detector and get waved ahead instead of having to go through lengthy and invasive searches, it is because of the value a racist society has arbitrarily placed on pale skin and European features.

And then there is the isolation from visible people of color. Because while we may identify more with them, we still look white. And we are never, ever, unaware of that fact.

As a person of color, I know that I usually prefer to be with other people of color (and some non-delusional white people). So while we can’t blame them for not automatically seeing us as people of color, we also can’t just go over and say “hey I’m a person of color, too” because THAT IS SUCH A WHITE PEOPLE THING TO DO!

HOWEVER

I’ve seen a lot of stuff come through my feed, lately, about white-passing people of color trying to equate their struggles with those of visible people of color.

Personally, I don’t understand how any self-respecting poc (visible or white-passing) could do that to another poc. Every time you try do that, you are saying that you face the same discrimination as visible poc. This is just not true.

As white-passing people we have the privilege of letting people think that we’re white to get jobs, grades, respect and to avoid having our words and actions serve as a testament or evidence of our race/ethnicity. Most importantly, we have the ability to sit in a room full of white people and not have all eyes on us. When we are tired of the discrimination, we can get up and leave and be assured that, in a few blocks, at most a few cities, we will be in a place where no one knows that we’re people of color; where we can sit in peace, without being discriminated against because of our skin tone.

This is a white-passing privilege that visible poc do not have.

So, yes, we have our struggles. But they are not remotely the same as those of people who do not have the privilege of passing. Pretending otherwise is hurtful, invalidating, counter productive, and generally fucked-up.

So, please, quit trying to play oppression olympics and acknowledge your privilege like a decent human being!

this is the same girl who started the reclaiming by saying that pictures of modern natives didn’t belong in the native american tag. AND that it was okay for her to call people n*****s because she was using it in the “original sense”.

Come now, do not be so tough. the poor thing must have really terrible nightmares! Like really terrible…

maybe if she didn’t have the tacky pictures of horrible shit and crappy dream catchers all across a corner of her room she’d get rid of the ‘nightmares’
also that scarf is a nightmare. yeesh. 

Dreamcatcher windchime?

So now I can’t think that white girls wearing headresses is bullshit and needs to be stopped? thats bullshit. the only reason you whiny bitches are getting pissy is because of the fact that i said ‘nigger’ on MY blog; excuse me for thinking this was my blog? lmfao xD If you don’t like what I post on MY native american blog, seriously don’t look at it. I have one to post N.A. things about my culture and history, If you don’t like it then thats fucking bullshit on your part. You are all sooooo full of hatred for one little word? I have my beliefs and i dont give two fucks if you like them or not cuz theres just as may people that DO believe the same.

I’m full of hatred for people who use that fucking word, you shitbag. You care enough about everyone’s opinion to check out what we’re saying. Go fuck yourself.

Honestly you are taking your culture too seriously. I’m sorry if I sound ignorant but lighten up. White people joke around about their culture all the time how they can’t dance, or anything. My black friends crack black jokes about themselves all the time, along with my Mexican and Asian friends. Why are the Native American people seem so elite that they can’t have anyone crack a joke, or stereotype them. By you saying that all white people are dehumanizing the Native American people is stereotyping. Before you point your fingers, make sure your hands are clean. You Native American people are not above anyone else because you are descendants of the natives. We understand your culture went through hell when the Europeans came and took over, but that is no reason to have stick up your butt. Just because someone wears a halloween costume of a Pocahontas/Native American/Indian costume or whatever you want to call it doesn’t mean they are personally victimizing you. We “white people” know that it is not how you dress or act or anything, it is all in good fun. People dress up as “gangsta black people” for halloween and you don’t see black people complaining. People dress up are “nerdy white people” and you don’t see the white people complaining. Stereotyping is a part of life. It will never be fully eliminated so stop trying. And sending someone hate because of a halloween costume, calling them racist, will not prove a point or fix anything. Move on with your life. If you honestly think that someone is being racist about your culture, don’t attack them. Keep it to yourself and know that “you are right” or whatever you want to tell yourself.

says the white bitch

hey

how about if youre not native your opinion doesnt count

Bolding mine. Boo I think the few black friends you may have might secretly hate you. Also, why does everybody have “Mexican” friends? Are you sure they’re Mexican or can you just not remember the names of the spanish-speaking countries they’re actually from?
