The great thing about fashion is that it is fun and not to be taken too seriously. However, I am serious about keeping up with all current trends from the streets to the runways. The current trend that I spoke of in this post is related to a style comprised of pieces that have been influenced and inspired by many different cultures. Being inspired by other cultures, in my mind, is solely complimentary. If one prefers we could call this the “globalization trend”. To those who believe the word “tribal” has been used too loosely, I appologize. It was simply meant to sum up “influenced by other cultures”.

GOD I<M GOING TO RETCH

Standard clusterf*ck in the comments section.  It’s amazing how quickly people run from discussion to anger.

Opino que el activismo antirracista debería dejarse sanar la costra/estigma de “mi pueblo sufrió”, “mi pueblo fue arrasado”, “mi pueblo fue desalojado”; dejar de rascarse esa herida. La dolorosa historia no debe lanzarse al olvido, pero seguir respondiendo siempre desde la rabia añeja y vía la culpabilización del otro -que nació para recibir la influencia de otra cultura lamentablemente montada sobre hechos de odio- no ayuda a alcanzar el objetivo.

Es más odio, aunque lo racionalicen. Es actuar desde la envidia, cuando no hay nada que envidiar.

Deconstruir el racismo no debe hacerse en plan de andar blandiendo la espada de la justicia porque actuar así es tratar de imponerse (“yo conozco la verdad, ergo yo tengo moral, ergo yo corrijo la situación”).

Y la imposición o conquista es hermana, hermanita morocha  de la discriminación.
