So teaching people about the tragedy that most Americans have no idea about is a bad thing? It’s a forensic anthropology course. It’s disrespectful to use human remains without the permission of the family but how about death to the cops that dropped the bombs not random people trying to educate.
Freethenip, c.1910: "Wounded Knee was an atrocity and the university is doing an important educatory service by turning the children's skeletons into marionettes and making them perform native dances, why are you impugning their memory?"
These are the bones of a child killed by cops who would be 40 years old today. They're being waved around in front of a camera and called juicy for 5,000 students (mostly coming from wealth and privilege, natch). Like, it's worse that the cops killed the children, correct. But there's something profoundly ghoulish about adopting social justice rhetoric at the exact same moment as you desecrate the remains of children killed by cops. It's fucking creepy
I agree it’s morbid and weird but when your job is to analyze human bones it’s gonna be weird. Also yeah anthropology and the university system is racist as fuck.
I literally have an anthropology graduate degree. I have worked with human remains. This is disgusting and creepy and I would be horrified if one of my colleagues did this.
How many of your colleagues would lick one of the bones and describe the texture to the students?
a bone of a person who died in the 80s and that still smells like decomposing human lipids? zero, I'd hope. I've licked many a fragment of bone myself although none of it was human to my knowledge
Idk this doesn't seem too bad
Juicy bones
Wait what
displaying the remains without the permission of the girls family
How is that even legal :what-the-hell:
guess you don't need to ask permission from the family when you've murdered the family
I've heard of like "Black trauma porn," where depictions of the violence done to POC in this country is used to shock people. This is like the final boss of that.
