Brooklyn, cheers to u 🍻 (at Brooklyn Brewery)

I was going to post this simply saying “I’m speechless”, but I always have some shit to say. I’m really grateful and happy that this photo exists, but it makes me want to vomit. This is the perfect visual representation and a stark reminder of the ignorance that still exists in some parts of this country. A white man fervently attempting to justify his blatant racism to a man who’s entire lived experience as a Native American apparently means jack shit. An entire community, an entire race of people, completely shoved to the side by those who make a caricature of it—people who don’t see Native Americas as people; people who see them as red-faced, feather-wearing cartoons who exist to be a trope and punchline. It is almost inconceivable to me that it’s 2014 and pictures like this can be taken, conversations like this must still be had. There is no excuse. Wake the fuck up.
