hippie culture is based in racism (◕‿◕✿)

[sophiedoodlz-deactivated2020090]

No it wasn’t..

[doublesslightpeppa-deactivated2]

that’s nice, but hippie culture is based in racism (◕‿◕✿)

[breakyourneck]

Hippie culture continues today in people who call themselves “yogis” and practice smudging and wear dreadlocks. You know exactly who I’m talking about. They collect crystals and tattoo themselves with eastern religious symbols and pretend they are one with the earth.

Hippie culture is based entirely on the exotification of marginalised cultures.

Hippies have a fundamental misunderstanding of the pieces of the cultures that they use (I.e. Chakras, smudging, dreadlocks, etc.). The understanding that they have of these cultural aspects stems from racist interpretations of these cultures based on anthropology (which is still a very biased discipline), but at the time of the inception of the hippie movement, anthropology was still being used to show that other races were inferior to white people. Hippie culture takes bits and pieces of these cultures that they see as being “counter” the norm which is fundamentally racist because they see cultures of color as being outside the norm which further others people of color in a western context.

white hippies like to think they’re the least racist of all whites or even not racist at all because they travel to ~foreign lands and get to know the natives~ “embrace” dreadlocks, eastern religions and imagery; they think their appropriation of our cultures and history is acceptance when it couldn’t be further from it. the whole point of being a hippy is being “free”, a better and softer word for uncivilised which is what they ultimately consider us.

and if you think people of color talking about our experiences and things that affect us is turning “everything into a race war”, then you’re probably a racist

like 100% the hippie movement was counter culture. they were rebelling against the conventional, consumerist culture while coming from well off white families. there’s a really good short documentary that touches on it idr what it’s called but it’s about the Berkeley student protests in the 60s, shouldn’t be hard to find. a lot of them acknowledged that what they were doing was just to piss off their parents - there was no “admiration” or “connection” with the cultures they bastardized.

Save Our Kids (8/8/15): Christian Taylor, a 19-year old college football player was gunned down by police early Friday morning in Arlington, TX. Christian crashed his vehicle into a car dealership. Police claim he was trying to rob it. How and why a kid with his own new car and a promising college career would try to rob a car showroom, single-handedly, by crashing into it, I couldn’t tell you (reeks of bullshit/this ain’t Fast & Furious). He was unarmed. Police will always prioritize property over our lives. Don’t be shocked if/when video gets released later contradicting the killer cop’s story though.

Jeb Bush defunded Planned Parenthood and now Florida is one of the worst states for women’s health

In 2001, Gov. Jeb Bush cut $302,843 for family planning services for poor women through Planned Parenthood in Florida. Now, 25% of women in Florida are uninsured. More than 20% of women in Florida report being in fair or poor health. 20% of Floridian women have no access to a personal doctor or health care provider. And the stats get only more depressing from there.
