Kid me loved this actor, watched his version of TV Superman as a little girl and remained a lifelong fan ever since. This was one of the first shows I became a fan of without my brother to snuggle up to while we watched.
With the current hate infused climate of this Administration. This feels like a betrayal.
And the fact that Dean Cain's biological father is Japanese! How could he do to my people what was done to his?

I don‘t know how I‘ve managed to go this long without writing a haiku about my absolute favorite movie, Tombstone, so here goes nothing! 🙃
Have gun will carry,
he‘ll be your huckleberry —
say when, he‘s ready.
Not gonna lie, I cried when he died. Felt like losing an old friend. Seems like we‘ve been losing a lot of the 60-something men in Hollywood the last few years (RIP Michael Madsen who died recently) 😔

A dark day for our country. Again. #haikuhive #haikuaday
Inspired by Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes. Thank you to @karisa and @cbee for reminding me of this. My heart hurts this week.

As a American BORN Indigenous and Chicana, there came a time while growing up when I had to learn about how the heroes that I was supposed to admire as an American were not so heroic to my ancestors. Many were my ancestors villains.
Random Examples:
Abraham Lincoln
Davy Crockett
Bat Masterson
Columbus

This list is practically endless...
Discovering the truth from my cultural prospective, it felt like betrayal.
It wasn't easy to learn about my own cultural Heroes while growing up, therefore, the Superheroes from pop culture were adopted.
Actors and actresses bring characters into reality. Especially for children, superheroes and superheroines come alive when they see these characters on the screen.

🤔 I absolutely 🤬 my father's family, but I love the Chicana heritage. Perhaps if Dean Cain allowed himself to experience his Japanese half, he would discover a love for the culture. The Japanese culture is just as beautiful as his English, French-Canadian, Irish, and Welsh heritages. 1mo
Most of my ancestry originated right here (excluding the Spanish bits). Yet I and my American Indigenous mom are in danger everytime we venture out and about because we were born brown upon our own land ✊🏼🤬 ✊🏼🐻💫. (edited) 1mo
👏🏼🥲 And truth! We all must continue to teach our Children “true“ American values. Together we can erase hatred ✊🏼🦅✌🏼🦸♂️💖. 1mo
