My neighbor Kathy (don’t know her last name) ran after Kim Haffner’s dog that she released so it could chase after Clark, the cat that had befirnded me and others in this complex. Kathy was smiling with glee as she ran around the corner, then came back grinning saying Clark jumped on the picnic table to escape that evil dog that barks at everyone who comes near, or, passes by. I post a link to the killing of that puppy in Boston, that is a source to my PTSD. https://godsandradicals.org/author/alleyvalkyrie/
The primary reason that white people, especially white Americans, appropriate from marginalized traditions is because they’ve been stripped of their own. And if we want white Americans to stop doing that, the best remedy is to encourage them to respectfully and carefully learn about and reclaim their own ancestral traditions.
