hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!
I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!
and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part
Also if you want to refer to ‘‘eskimo kisses’‘ and not use that term the Inuit term for it is ‘‘kunik’‘. It’s a traditional greeting usually between relatives or a child and an adult, although it’s a little different from nose kisses so most Canadians call it ‘‘Inuit kiss’‘ and I’ve heard other people call it ‘‘bunny kisses’’. Either way there’s no excuse to use ‘‘eskimo’‘ in this context or another.
yt got tossed out an nyc train for calling this black dude the n word after “standing too close” to racist in a packed train. tag yourself I’m the lady that tossed the soup at him.
mood: princess nokia throwing soup at a racist cuck and then kicking him in the face
You know what’s sad?
Always having to stay in the car
because I am too damn scared to
go in the store.
I’m scared of their hateful and hurtful words.
A young Native American girl,
too fucking scared to go shopping
You hear of “black lives matter”
What about Native Americans?
Oh yeah, they’re shoved onto these lands called reservations.
This poor little prairie nigger
surviving off of EBT and commodities
scared of traveling.
Scared of the harmful words of the white man.
In the lakota culture, mitukaye oyasin,
That means “we are all related” Whatever happened to that?
I’m tired of being pushed aside
I’m tired of being hurt by the white man
I’m tired of seeing my oyate, my people
suffer at the hands of the white man
What do I have to do?
Scream in the governments face?
“Here I am fuckers, pay attention to my people, we are suffering!”
From the battle of the little big horn
To the wounded knee massacre
Our people are still having to deal with that depression
We shouldn’t have to.
We don’t deserve that.
We are indigenous people
Native to the land
We deserve much better
Than this shit hole that we call home
I was always taught to keep my
mouth shut when it comes to racist remarks
I want to break this silence
I want to go in the store and not be afraid of what others have to say.
I want to break free.
see this is exactly the type of thing i mean when i say nonblack poc do not respect the activism and struggles of black people. I’m black AND native, and seeing posts like this are extremely hurtful. Nonblack natives do not have the right to criticize black lives matter for not including them, when yall are just as hurtful to black folks as white people. Nonblack natives do not have the right to say nigger under any circumstances, because they still have the power to wield it against black people as a slur. I understand being upset with your oppressors, but do not throw black people under the bus in an effort to make whites pity you.
1. Did this author really have to translate the Greek word for “fishmongers” as “fishfags”, and 2. Can fishfag be the new trendy aesthetic, akin to seapunk, because I can totally get behind that
