LOL, ok champ 👍🏼

Are you really arguing that white women have it harder than women of color? Let me go get you that participation trophy from the oppression olympics.

For sure! This idea that class issues can be completely removed from race is generally willful ignorance or unintentional bias on the part of white people.

As a indigenous, Inupiaq woman in America, I am well aware.

Actually, there is much more truth to the history of racism within unionizing that the media choosing photos.

Hey, terrible argument you got there!

Spare me the hand-wringing for Charlotte Pence. She may not be her father, but she’s an adult who supports her father’s disastrous LGBT policies, so yeah, fuck her too.

Charlotte Pence is an adult who approves of her father’s disastrous LGBT policies, so spare me the hand-wringing.

What this article is lacking is the context that at least 70% of the violent victimizations experienced by American Indians/Alaska Natives are committed by persons not of the same race (mostly by white people). (Bureau of Justice Statistics, US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs and U.S. Department of…

Lol, my dad did that when I was 2. I was terrified of him when he didn’t have his beard, so my Dad explained that when his face got too fuzzy, he needed to shave.

As an indigenous person, I am well aware.

Actually, what they can tell you about DNA markers and characteristics they can only tell you from their sample size, which isn’t large for most of these companies. Additionally, a lot how the companies determine those DNA markers and characteristics are attributed to certain races or ethnicities are influenced by…

There is a pretty valid debate on this, and any records used to try to prove her Cherokee ancestry cannot be verified, as no one seems to be able to actually locate those records. So Trump is racist as fuck, and Pocahontas is a racial slur in this context, but Warren is also not Native.

Well, I’d hold off on saying it’s just cause of how she looks. Native peoples who are mixed raced don’t always look like the Dine code talkers or indigenous folks in Central and South America, and Native peoples in places like the arctic and plains don’t look like those folks either. There are 1200 Native tribes in…

But it really wouldn’t.... Those DNA companies actually can’t tell you shit about your ethnicity, and if you take a test at two different companies, they’ll give you two different answers....

Thanks for this! As a Native woman, appreciate the Root highlighting why calling her Pocahontas is problematic and racist!

I mean, when they’re actively voting for my oppression as a lesbian, I think I can say “fuck their opinion.”

DCPS employee here! We’re all really fucking proud, as the protestors here are former DCPS teachers and DCPS parents.
