I told BloodMoon to brace himself when he asked about canine headdresses because I figured his question would draw some jokes and remarks that he might find offensive, because it happens all the time. Some folks come on here and just don't get the humor and think they're being picked on. I was not making a joke or "picking on the white guy" as you put it, I was simply trying to prepare him a little.

(chuckling), Don't sweat it young man. It's just a bead on a forum board right. Besides, wheres that tough Native skin?
It should be right next to that thick NDN skull. which is next to the dogs headdress. ROTFLMBO.

Red beads happen.

Don't sweat it.

Hmmm...BLOODMOON says he is Piikani on his profile. He may have been answered already by Private Message or email.

Many people would rather not post (their) tribal traditions here in public


Red Beads are not lethal I've gotten a couple over the time I've been here



:whatchu:

[StereoTypicalHarley]

Didn't really hurt my feelings much, I just felt like clarifying. Maybe I should have done that in the original post. And you're right, my thick skull fits nicely under that Shih Tzu pelt. It helps me channel their ferocious spirit medicine. Maybe I should trade it out for a Honey Badger?????

[comadre]

I got a red bead once for "sticking up for the white guy" which is pretty funny.Don't sweat it.I always figure if everyone likes you and everything you say then somethings really wrong.




on the other note...I think my spirit guide is a chihuahua.

[Migiziwomen]

lol this is what i needed this morning a goot ole laugh.
for some reason people do not like to leave names with the red beads.
@comadre lol just stop sticking up for the white guys then! lmao

I get reasonably consistent red beads for insinuating:

• Native Americans are not the Master Race and we'd have had this continent just as screwed up (in some areas) as it is now had Columbus never landed.
  
• A HUGE part of traditions we maintain through inertia -- without even knowing WHY we do it or applicability, anymore -- but we're afraid to conduct any analysis because we might find something hasn't been necessary for >150 years and we've romanticized it.
  
• That even if we have perception of having romanticized something, acknowledge it is unnecessary, perhaps even find it embarrassing or not for public consumption, we still refuse to change because "you know, it's our heritage."

Hell, I'm PROUD of catching those Red Beads.

LOL, well, I guess I'm in good company, because someone threw me one for Cavorting with the riff raff. Not sure if they meant nativeproud, Zeke or comadre? lol. Oh and a big surprise, they didn't have the intestinal fortitude to sign it, what a shocker.

[Chevy_truckin_NDN]

I have actually gotten a few....some time ago...since I'm never serious on here....hmmmm, was I offended? nah. The only thing I ever wondered was did it take away from my points? But then we have switched again, so I guess it doesn't matter....hmmmm.

[wyo_rose]

My whole rep bar was red at one time. Don't let it get to you, or change you mind about what you're gonna post.

[StereoTypicalHarley]

Those are excellent points that need to be addressed zeke. I'm gonna put my red bead in the eye of my shih tzu headdress so it can give people the evil eye! I shall wear it proudly. And thanks for the beads rezraised and eagleplumes.

[Migiziwomen]

i have lost so many points and stuffs. i remember when it was really cool you could have enough points you got to change your color and font and all kinds of neat things. man i have lost so many points due to changes. lol.

oh, and red beads, they add flavor.

So the story about the "fro" was imaginary...cuz that sure isn't a "fro"... LOL!

[RDNKJ]

It was my bro who had the fro - I had to perm my hair to get the poodle look!

See my response to @Cinkala about hair. I know all about covering up hair with a bald wig!
