You want to know why no Natives have posted on this site to tell you how disgusting and racist these images are? Because we are sick and tired and exhausted from attempting to "educate" ignorant people. Will you change? Will you take the pictures down? Excuse my negativity, but probably not. What would help you? What can I do to help you understand how hurtful it is to see your culture - the things that are sacred and vital to your existence - made into a mockery by people who just don't know any better? I live on my reservation; I love my children; I learn my language and ceremonies. All I can say is: please stop. Please educate yourselves.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561517211119910582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-78894084423868068932011-09-09T11:45:02.050-07:002011-09-09T11:45:02.050-07:00P.S.

Since social media took off, I get <i>a lot</i> more input than I did when we were limited to e-mail. I probably could list dozens of Natives who read my postings regularly and advise me if I go astray.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-18834618800949933222011-09-09T11:37:33.283-07:002011-09-09T11:37:33.283-07:00You're sadly mistaken about Newspaper Rock, An...You're sadly mistaken about Newspaper Rock, Anonymous #1. There are no limits whatsoever on who can comment. The blog has thousands of Native readers and many of them have commented over the years. In fact, Kiowa writer Russell Bates must've posted close to a thousand comments by himself.<br /><br />When I wrote "people on Facebook were predictably outraged," I was referring mainly to Natives. You do realize that roughly half my Facebook friends are Native, right? Same with the people who follow me on Twitter, respond via e-mail, etc. This posting exemplifies how I get feedback from Natives constantly. <br /><br />FYI, I almost never take a position outside the Native mainstream. I couldn't work for the Native website Pechanga.net or write for the Native newspaper Indian Country Today if my views weren't consistent with theirs. I've earned my living as a Native media writer and editor for the last decade, so I assure you they know what I'm doing. And approve of it, in general.<br /><br />Really, what's your basis for misstating that this blog is "exclusively open to non-native responses"? Did you just make it up out of thin air, or what? It's a complete fiction, a total fabrication. Wherever you got your cockeyed belief from, it's wrong.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-55872818258833567182011-09-06T09:59:28.990-07:002011-09-06T09:59:28.990-07:00Hi other anonymous.

There are legitimate criticisms of Rob letting his agenda get in the way of honest reporting, but accusing him of preaching out of his own head in a bubble free of native input is not one of them. Usually the worst he does is omit facts that make him 75% right instead of 95% right.<br /><br />Here is a list of genuine natives that Rob has regular communication with.<br />http://www.bluecorncomics.com/advisors.htm<br />True, this list is of people that vet his comic, but it would be naive to think these people would keep quiet if they had a problem with his other native projects like this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-13537511894811506592011-09-06T08:27:32.514-07:002011-09-06T08:27:32.514-07:00Its ironic how you (Rob) view these representation...Its ironic how you (Rob) view these representations of "indians" as being racists, yet, Newspaper Rock itself, is a non-native site exclusively open to non-native responses to racism againsts American Indians without tribal input or native views.<br /><br />Racism caused by non-natives, defined by non-natives and expressed by non-natives? Pretty watered down if you ask me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
