The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Again, it's only cultural appropriation when it fits the criteria. Whether or not I can manage a tear for a group is irrelevant. Ya don't see me crying about those mules, now doya? No one is stealing christmas from anyone..firstly...and the only people which can even be charged with the accusation, batshit crazy as it is...are themselves. Spice this up, get something......anything.... right. Surprise me with a salient point or observation. (June 7, 2017 at 1:55 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: I'm from Northern Ireland.

All sorts of paddywhackery was employed in funding the IRA from this side of the ocean, institutionally and down to a personal level. 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

For that matter, on what basis can a group lay claim to exclusive property rights to cultural products - like say the recipe for chocolate or Mohawk hair cuts or linear perspective or yoga or argyle socks, or double-entry accounting.

The criteria routinely show up as actual examples? I'm not interested in bickering over any #alternative fact based histories.
If you cannot understand or do not find the idea of cultural IP compelling, in any case..even in cases of historic and current oppression....then obviously it's not a problem for you. I can only suggest that this is an awfully convenient view for a raider to hold.

Cultural appropriation does make things better sometimes though, led zeppelin took all the songs they stole to a better level than what they were.
As for girls who use dream catchers it acts as a warning that she's probably into other hippie bullshit. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. RE: "Cultural Appropriation"

The victims of this little escapade get to watch it happen. The inexorable grinding of gears strikes again. The problem is that fucking millenial kids seem to do nothing but look for things they've lost (read: not been given served to them on a silver platter). They sit around crying with each other over their $10 Starbucks about how their cultural symbols are being robbed by their oppressors-- other students, for example, or the University that won't make every fucking rule a recognition that the world revolves around them because they are such special snowflakes. We all know this example I'm sure, but I might as well post it. Is there anyone here who thinks the girl was right to confront the boy in the first place? Here's a more insidious one, not exactly about appropriation but in much the same vein. It really is chilling, at least to me: |
