white people who get mad when we call out cultural appropriation are literally expressing their discomfort at not being able to further exploit cultures their ancestors destroyed and stole from :)

The People Who Live On This Island Will Kill Anyone Who Tries To Come Ashore

North Sentinel Island, located in the Bay of Bengal, between Myanmar and Indonesia, is home to an isolated tribe that has never been colonized or even made contact with. These people are one of the last Stone Age tribes on Earth whose culture has been completely untouched by modern civilization.

Good. Leave them alone.

“Stone Age tribes” “untouched by modern civilization”

what a bunch of white supremacist bullshit

they are not “Stone Age,” they are not “untouched by modern civilization,” they ARE a modern civilization… seeing as how they are a civilization that exists currently, today, in the modern world

whiteness is not a measure of modernity. colonization is not a marker of progress

Internal Biases are really important to deprogram. Being an ally means having to consciously fight to deprogram these biases that you benefit from that you may not agree with but still have. In conversations about oppression, we should not have to defend you and recentering the conversation on you perpetuates the issue

the well known Harry Potter cycle

Step 1: thinking Snape is a bad guy

Step 2: thinking Snape is a good guy

Step 3: realising as you mature as a person that Snape was actually a terrible person after all and was an abusive bully who didn’t grown out of this stage even into his late 30s and an obsessive person who thought he was entitled to Lily just because she showed him friendship and no matter how many bias memories of his you are shown you will never see him in any different way 

unfortunately some people are still stuck in stage 2

[madamairlock]

Step 4: Realizing Dumbledore was manipulative and abusive as well and not the infallible person everyone believed him to be.

[ellisonavenue]

Step 5: Discovering that the only person as golden as their reputation portrayed and knew what the fuck was going on was Minerva McGonagall and she was amazing.

How to Fake Confidence

1. Hold your head high, and look others in the eye

2. Smile

3. Stop apologizing

4. Relax and be quick to laugh at yourself (but not at others!)

5. Dress in a way that indicates you have self worth

6. Use good manners (like saying please and thank you) as this is actually a mark of self respect

7. Expect other people to believe in you, and to see and appreciate your good qualities.

[empireprep]

8. Before you know it, its no longer fake
