Racism against Native Americans seems to be becoming an epidemic. Social media is giving Native Americans a platform to challenge acts of racism, but just as these acts are denounced, more instances occur. Many perpetrators are just plain racist, others, blissfully ignorant.

It seems as time progresses micro aggressions like cultural appropriation has evolved to even uglier acts of entitlement and racism. Kanye West put dead Native Americans on his Yeezus merchandise; the most criticism he received was about the confederate flag. The Native perspective was completely ignored by the mainstream media (as it often is) and Kanye continues to exploit the history of Genocide and historical trauma by selling the merchandise.

Another situation occurred where Native Americans are being mocked. There was no way that people could justify it because it was a blatant act of racism against Native Americans. A breakthrough sign at a McAdory High School football game stated: “Hey Indians get ready to leave in a trail of tears. Round 2”.
