#nohate Day if the Dead fair trolling alert



So this little gem of a troll popped up on my Day of the Dead Psychic Fair, so I thought that I would share and give a laugh.


This is my response to this persons tomfoolery(as you all know, I am half mexican and my son is 1 quarter mexican. My mother & grandmother are full mexican. I am 2 generations removed from Mexico and apparently have either a Mayan or Aztec Princess in my lineage. I began the Day of the Dead fair to celebrate the Day of the Dead...well Days of the dead due to my sons deep interest in it and as a way to bring people more knowledge of and ways to connect to their ancestors. My mother and my -now passed on- Abuela and anyone else from my Latin side of the family would be pleased as punch that more people are celebrating this holiday and taking part in this tradition as we are not interested in spiritual bigotry or gatekeeping. The view that I was raised with is that Spirituality- so long as it is respectful & done with sincerity & grace- of all culture is to be shared to make the whole human race greater. The attitude and viewpoint taken by this person is devisive, it creates barriers and walls instead of bridges and sharing and understanding.) #nohate #nobarriers #nogatekeeping #NoBigotry #desmoinesnewageshop #aliciasdesk #desmoinesnewageradio #thepsychicroundtable #aliciasart #buildingbridges #BridgesNotBarriers



My comment response:

Interesting point of view.

Now, since you feel the need to say this to me..I can only guess that you also say this to Taco bell, Taco Johns, and any & All Cinco De Mayo sales- advertising by Caucasian owned companies and any use of latin connected culture by ANY OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES LATINS....because if NOT then you are merely attempting to BULLY. Picking on a small business who is attempting to promote spiritual connection with ancestors instead of speaking out against ALL use of latin culture is - plain & simple- BULLYING.
