"Cultural Appropriation"

[bennyboy]

Are you even trying to make a point anymore, or are you just flailing because you can't? I've given you plenty of chances to explain yourself, but you've done absolutely nothing with it.

I made my point ages ago three times in fact  . I have explained myself . I done everything with it . I'm not flailing the points been made. Your inability to connect the dots between Isis comments and my posts is there is. But that's your problem . Getting bored of going over the same points only to be answered then insist I have not answered ?.

Okay Tizheruk, I've read your posts and I get them.  You want to protect the dignity and culture of an oppressed population by adding some legal (or at least social/moral) restrictions to the things people not members of that population can do/wear/copy.  It's pretty rude, for example, for white people (who pretty much wiped out the indigenous peoples a couple hundred years ago) to dress as feather-headdressed "Indians" on Halloween, for example.

That being said, SJWs are pissing all over common sense and basic decency, and making it very hard to give a shit any more.  When some white douchebag goes off on me because I'm wearing a Bob Marley t-shirt or something, he will make the same argument that you have: he wants to protect black people (as if they're all fucking Jamaican) from having that aspect of their identity appropriated by me.  I like you, but I fucking HATE that guy, with his Starbucks coffee and his Apple-branded man-satchel and his love of smelling his own farts.

You know what the problem is?  I think the idea of cultural appropriation has been culturally appropriated-- every special little snowflake in the US has to find something to squawk about, as often and as loudly as possible, and people like you who have legitimate and reasonable requests get drowned out.
