i like it because its like frybread power or intel powered... u know. like our native-ness "powers" us.
But my coworker/friends give me a hard time about the same thing. I have a T-shirt that says Native Pride and they are always saying its racist.
But I think its empowerment.
hmmm... :pThe only time its too late to start dancing is when you're dead. -
on second thought it definitely is ethnocentrism.
but why must we be un-proud of who we are as people?The only time its too late to start dancing is when you're dead.Comment

We get the same argument here from some non Indian folks who argue that maybe they should start wearing White Power tee's. The counter to that is that White Power really is a racist call to arms.It is so sad that a family can torn apart by something as simple as a wild pack of dogs.Comment

I don't wear them or any other T-shirt with any slogans.
But, I do like them. They tell us that the wearer is "proud" of who they are.
Rascist? No. It's pride.Comment

aww, but, we're not promoting any type of violence or anything like that... besides, i thought Native Pride was now it's own label... like phat farm, guess, gap... etc.. i mean, we have to be proud of who we are... and i know muh best friend has a Chicano Pride T that i've seen her wear and i think that's cool.... as long as your not promoting hate and racism.... but, with White Power, i think that's a whole different situation because they're known for hate and hate crimes... and being racist....~*~ FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS TAKE HOME UGLY SNAGS ~*~Comment
