These difficult conversations are more important than ever. Here’s how to overcome the roadblocks.

Yes to all and to add one, tone policing. If they can’t think of any other way to dismiss what you are saying, they will critique the way in which you said it. No matter how you said it, they will say you are angry or aggressive.

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

[teaboot]

“These artifacts were excavated by archaeologists from a burial site in the 1970’s. The remains were returned for reinterment” Okay cool, cool cool. So you just, like. Dug up the grave of a respected family member, stripped them naked, mailed their body back to their family and kept everything they were lovingly put to rest in. Like a graverobbing bastard

[toothmuncher3000]

Reminds me of the time when of the elders from my hometown started touching a totem pole in the Museum of Anthropology out at UBC and got yelled at by the staff, only to tell him that the pole had been stolen off of the front of her bighouse when she was ten years old.

Museum collectors did the equivalent of kidnapping a family member when they were away fishing.

[severalowls]

If a museum’s collection for a living culture is anything but replicas and gifts specifically From those people, there’s something seriously wrong.

“In reading lots and lots of cookbooks written by white folks it occurred to me that people very casually say Spanish rice, French fries, Italian spaghetti, Chinese cabbage, Mexican beans, Swedish meatballs, Danish pastry, English muffins and Swiss cheese.

And with the exception of n*gger toes and Black-bottom pie, there is no reference to black people’s contribution to the culinary arts. White folks act like they invented food and like there is some weird mystique surrounding it. There is no mistake. Food is food. Everybody eats!” -

Periods and menstruation are a specific female experience, your dysphoria and discomfort at this reality does not change the fact that it is and will always be a women’s issue, turning it into a “people’s issue” is only erasing female experiences and the conversation around sex based oppression

— A piece of advice.

[dookiediamonds-deactivated20200]

Real shit.

[yuricema-deactivated20230814]

People calling parts of your culture trends because white women and nb woc have decided to hop on and exploit it is disrespectful af lol

[urlocalstonerr]

TEAAAAAAA. Oh my fucking GOD.

[blackfemmejeanvaljean]

and don’t get me started on the ones that used to make fun of synthetic hair now that everyone buys wigs from amazon 😒

[ororomunroedontpullout]

Black girls were tormented for having fake hair for years, told we were less because we had (needed) weave when white girks naturally had it, and now it’s a fun trend. Society man

[onlyblackgirl]

They still call it ghetto long as it not on pasty white hoes like Ariana.
