"I love the native american culture:" racism meets bad crafts

i love it when my interests intersect. i'm big on crafting, and well, you know i how i like to make fun of racism. i also like to make fun of crafters. especially when they're racist.
if you're unfamiliar with etsy.com - it's an online platform for crafters to sell their handmade goods. the blog "regretsy" is one of the best things to happen this decade - because we all know that handmade shit isn't always pretty.
here's the original posting. i don't have much to say about it, other than i was suddenly reminded of that book i was forced to read in elementary school - "the indian in the cupboard" - what was that?!


Native American Necklace


Description 
"I love the native american culture.

This necklace includes a young native american man who appears to be hunting... perhaps for dinner. or lunch.

He hangs from a rather long pale green ribbon in which I have strung some plastic beads and two feather charms.

I love this necklace. I want it... but I'll let you buy, if you love it too. "

E-40 - LightWeight Jammin'



While heavyweight racism is making a comeback (Arizona leads the charge & Alabama reverts) the closest thing we've got to good news is E-40 aka 40 Water, the Bay Area's foremost slang'uist, further demonstrates the use of the term "LightWeight" with some help from Clyde Carson and Husalah...

These recent musical posts remind me, keep your ears peeled for the LightWeight Racist mixtape coming soon from our contributor extrordonaire, Dj WillieMaze!
