Is Anything Wrong With Wearing A Pocahontas Costume ?

[Entrapta310]

we're not discussing music, we're talking about a specific person, Pocahontas, not a broad category of Native Americans.

unlike you i care about my post count. this retarded bakk and forth is pointless.
you dont believe wtf im mentioning?? GO DO RESEARCH.
native americans made up stories about the british. not all stories were false. THIS ONE IS.
when she married that white man, trust she wasnt a rape victim of the BriTISH. i never found out if she was really ever married before leaving her tribe, but if she was and NOT a virgin, it was the man her father made her marry at 12. a man from her tribe.
she enjoyed her life. no way would a war end if she was taken by ill will. why would her father stop a war and make peace if his duaghter was raped??
GTFOH!!!

why should I go and do research when I have access to a person who's spent countless hours studying the specific person we're discussing?

To me, there's a difference between a generic "native princess" costume, and dressing up as an actual character.


Had she just said "woo woo woo im an indian" and wore stereotypical Native American stuff I would understand the outrage. But in this case she is dressing up as a specific character. That's what Halloween is about.

But what she has on is a generic "native princess" costume though. Majority of the "native" costume they sell is generic and stereotypical.

Just because her caption said pocahontas, doesn't make it any different.

I guess you're right there. Just googled some pics of Pocahontas and shes not really dressed like her

Because Disney took the story of a 12 year old who was kidnapped and raped by white supremacists and made a revisionist history movie for profit.

You are on fire today breh

thats what my thing is too.. its not like she wore a black face and said im a stereotypical black hood guy.. its a disney costume of a very popular character.. people just wanting to start that faux outrage for attention or to pass off their immaturity to the masses

So was Donald Duck...

The fact you don't realize that Native American's culture has been reduced to a halloween costume is scary. You would be pissed if there was a 2Pac costume that white folks wore every year....or a Malcolm X costume or a Marcus Garvey costume....as I said in another topic. Apply the inverse to your own experience and you will see just how much we shyt on Native America culture.

Literally every culture can be found in a Halloween costume.

History is the problem. Not the costumes.

I say let people have Halloween. Some costumes are ignorant/insensitive, and that's part of the fun

I agree to a point, my issue is that people want to dismiss why certain cultures could and prolly should be offended. I mean...there are literally NO Native Americans...like none. And to have the only representation of your people be a costume, I can see how that would be infuriating.

 

[SPACE IS FAKE]

not our problem..if native americans have an issue with it let em speak up. blacks have no dog in this fight

 

[DrX]

That's how white ppl r...they rape and murder u and turn u into a movie, costume and logo centuries later

Y'all comparing Pocahontas to Anne Frank now

Anne Frank didn't choose to live among Nazis and throw p*ssy at one of them

Do you really know the story of Pocahontas or the legend as told by whites?
