Cultural Appropriation
January 23, 2016 at 3:09 pm
So I was hanging out with my cousin the other day and he shows up dressed as the worst black stereotype available. Like a total Lil' Wayne knock off. And this idiot opens his mouth and says "I'm all about that thug life." I of course look at this fool like he's lost his damn mind. We were raised in pockets of accountants and bankers, in gated communities on the shores of Lake Erie WTF does he think he knows about "thug life". But it all got me thinking, can black people appropriate black culture? For instance I love blues music but do I really have comprehension being cosseted most of my life to appreciate it in its fullness, or am I just siphoning off a cool sound?

Cultural appropriation is a joke. You are allowed to enjoy things.

I've not heard that phrase before.

Is it like in White Men Can't Jump where Sydney tells Billy that he "can't hear Jimmy"?

It doesn't fucking exist and is just an excuse for SJWs to moan like they always do. I tend to distance myself from people who actually believe in that bullshit.

Sydney: "You white people, you... you listen!"

Billy: "What am I supposed to do, eat it?"

Ah what a great film. If anyone hasn't watched it, go watch it right now. It's about basketball and racial stereotypes.

Ah, I see.

There must be two movies with the same title and very similar content then Tongue

I've seen it probably 30 times or more. Maybe I even worship it a little. Maybe I sing some of the songs in it to myself in the shower.

She's from some weird part of England called Scotchland or something, she's not a true Englishman!
