Ironic
I havent had time to post today due to being awake almost 40hrs and working 14 lol but i wanted to rant a little about something ironic that happened at work today.
i used to have a little braid in my hair that i just left in my hair all the time and i didnt cut it when id cut the rest of my hair. at work everyone would always think there was something in my hair. eventually i got so fed up i took it out and cut it cuz at work it was basically an everyday thing (i work for a mobile ultrasound screening company so the elderly people coming in to get screened would always mess with it)
well today when i went to work i decided i would wear this barrett in my hair. it has fringe from it and a little mini dream catcher on it..really nice. a few weekends ago at the powwow i went to at Ohio State...i bought a really nice buckskin purse. it also has fringe on it.
today during work, one of my coworkers, Zandra (who is an african american woman who has 2 children from a bi-racial man) starts "oh you're being pocahontas you got your pocahontas purse and your pocahontas barrett" and i said "pocahontas is such a clique" and she went on so i said "If you're gonna keep calling me pocahontas im going to call you Rosa Parks" and she said "thats different because im actually black" and i said "well im actually native american" and she says "oh please you are not dont give me none of that 1/16th crap" and then i break it down for her showing im almost as much Cherokee as i am german, dutch, ect ect ect (im a mut lol but the cherokee heritage seems to be stronger to me and more important to me than the others), that it would be enough for admittance into the eastern band of cherokee if my great great grandmother wouldnt've married into a white family and had ended up on the baker rolls ect ect and she said "oh no you didnt i have to go have a cigarette on this one"
i just find this extremely ironic to get this kind of reaction from a minority who has children that are bi-racial. you'd think she would know that you cant just go acting like that about people.
well thats my rant for tonight lol
