True, but I was there, they walked right past me, and they made noises like Native Americans in old Western films. Also, just because Native Americans, Arabs, Celts, or any other tribal people had "shamans" or some other spiritual leader, doesn't mean a group of white people has the right to just mock them. Because thats what they are doing. They are mocking. I doubt these people had any ties to any shamanistic practices. This is white privilege in action.
its pretty fucking offensive to see a bunch of white people dance around in fake war paint and "shaman" gear. taking someone's culture and turning it into a joke.
@herbnotbombs - conservatives always call liberals racist. @incoherentnickle-They aren't mocking anything. Your reasoning would be like saying people mock zombies on Halloween because they dress up like them. Dressing as anything is just part of whatever visual message you are sending. You're instantly judging these kids because they are white, yet *they* are the racist ones. Riiiight.
Racist liberals? it seems that you have no idea what shamanism actually is, as you have some wholly ignorant and assumptive idea that it is from one specific culture or ethnicity. There are ancient shamanistic practices all across the globe, from Asia and the Middle East, to Africa, to Scandinavia to the Americas. There are shamans of many, many colors and languages.
Your comment fits you well. It was both incoherent and not worth a nickel.
I never understood why g20 protesters protest at that.
Why are they against the G20?
