I do believe Does was applying sarcasm.
As for Nina, I second that motion - Nina you gotta stop with the medicine circles and your "strong black woman" repetition tic.
Nina, you probably believe that words and intent matters. This is feedback for you: you need to change your ways. Seed saving and growing food is valuable - surely you can do that without being offensive.
As for marching against Monsanto - that doesn't give you a free pass. Nor does being low income. Yes, because you and I are both white, we can get away with being culture vultures and cluelessly rude, because we have white privilege. Instead why not listen and learn? Use the privilege for good. Be a strong white woman who finds humility and keeps listening and changing even while uncomfortable.
