racheldashae: *Head desk* This is a photo of me. And guess what? I am apache and choctaw, you morons. But I am sure your ignorance and your racism got in the way of actually finding the source of this photo, and seeing I have written blog after blog about being Native American, and my pride for my heritage that has been instilled in me. You guys seriously disappoint me, and my anger is so strong I could be on the verge of tears. Showing attention to different racial views makes them more prominent. DROP IT. We have more important things to worry about in our life than continueing HATE and giving it the attention it DOESN’T deserve.  Also, I am not a sexual object. The fact that this girl wrote that is a cross on our “RACE” (even though she’s only half CHEROKEE, are you kidding me?), and our sex. Women are not sexual objects just because they are half nude in a photograph. This my art and my career, but I forgot you were disrespectful, selfish little girl who only has a blog to get attention, and through hate none the less. I’m done.  P.S - My tribes are from the south. we were born naked. suck on that.  hyphywifey: behindtheseams: LOVE this picture, i think its so artistic! plus im native american <3 Sticking a feather in a woman’s hair and braiding it doesn’t make her Native. I’m tired of seeing White models promoting Native Americans in a sexual way. Art is one thing, but we should be allowed to have pictures of US (not White people), in our own element to represent us. The rate of victimization of Urban Native Americans is 121.3 per 1000 people. As an Urban Native American, it shocks me even more. My race is the most likely to get raped, assaulted, and sexually assaulted. This is why I don’t like photos like these which makes us simply sexual objects. As a Native American woman, I don’t want to see the statistics to get worse. White women portraying a Native American women as a sexual object is not right. http://www.racismagainstindians.org/SDBurning/HateCrimeStat.htm Native American Assault statistics.
