You were made to be ruled

Every fairytale needs a good old fashioned villain.
All my life I've been searching for distractions. You were the best distraction.

I'm the option you shouldn't have chosen.
It'll come. In time.

They'll tell you.
I'll burn you.
But did you listen?
I'll burn the heart out of you.

Do you hear me? There's nothing you can do!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim!

Pam Grier.

I stan for Ms. Grier, but the headdress situation is not cool. You can be fierce without cultural appropriation, boo.

Pam Grier is Cheyenne & Black. Also, there is some room in the Cheyenne customs for women to wear head dresses like this one. Pam took this pic sometime in the 60’s so I don’t know that we can apply a modern set of standards to it.

i googled this because i was intrigued and i found this:

“People see me as a strong black figure, and I’m proud of that, but I’m a mix of several races: Hispanic, Chinese, Filipino. My dad was black, and my mom was Cheyenne Indian. So you look at things beyond just race, or even religion: I was raised Catholic, baptized a Methodist, and almost married a Muslim.”

… interesting

Yep. We all need to be SUPER careful about calling out cultural appropriation. It often isn’t a black & white issue. No pun intended.

And damn! She’s fucking hot.

I’m not sure I really get cultural appropriation all the time. Why is it ok for her to wear a war bonnet in a fairly sexual manner but not a white woman? I’m not saying that I think it’s ok or that I think it isn’t, merely proposing the question. If it is okay to respectfully borrow an aspect of a culture and use it to make something beautiful or artistic, then where is the line? How do we know when cultural appropriation is okay and when it is harmful? Prohibiting white people who personally had no hand in the genocide and colonization of North America from borrowing from Native cultures and letting Native people do things like this seems contradictory. I generally stand against cultural appropriation, but the more I see it discussed and the more I think about it, the more confusing it becomes.

I wonder if I would get shit for wearing a headdress. I may be white, but I’m Cherokee and proud of it. I’m actually related to Pocahontas by blood. Yet, people most likely wouldn’t believe that because I look like a pilgrim who just stepped off of the Mayflower….All white and glittering in the sun. Huh.

There’s a huge difference between a woman who is cheyenne which is a plains tribe that had warbonnets, and a person who claims cherokee heritage because they didn’t have warbonnets or anything similar as a part of their culture.

Also just a sidenote, Pocahontas wasn’t Cherokee… so that’s probably a big blood myth going on there

I’m just going to refer you to the message I replied to earlier.
