[TRIGGER WARNING: Abuse culture, defense of abusers, minimizing and erasure of abuse, and implied minimizing of microagressions and racism]

kateinalabcoat:
This is hitting way too high of the mark like when people throw the word “racist” around. I didn’t see anything abusive with that video, and I’m sensitive to that shit. Others are too. If my parents had done...

1 in 3 Native/First Nations women are raped, and 80+% of the time by non-Native (almost exclusively white) men - and the cases are almost never even investigated.
