Boo-fucking hoo. You won't guilt me into not having an opinion because of my race and gender ever. Moreover, you have absolutely no way of knowing what my background is. I have a dreamcatcher hanging upstairs in my house that I made myself. Is it because I'm part native? Is it because I'm crafty? Is it because I have nightmares? Did someone pass down the craft to me while we made it together? None of that is any of your fucking business. I also never said cultural appropriation isn't a thing. I said that the way it's presented by hystericals like you, it's not a big deal. Can a person eat baguettes if they're not French? Is it wrong for British people to love curry, even though they colonized India forcibly?

How in the fuck did you make that leap, champ? Don't be retarded. My position is that people wearing traditional native garb or owning native items isn't victimization. What are you going to say next? I personally marched folks down the Trail of Tears because I've sat in a teepee while wearing my pale skin?

Did you eat crack for breakfast? You're now saying I keep pieces of extinct animals on my wall? Not only is that ludicrous, it's also entirely possible to have a piece of an animal in your house that you never hurt.
