An incorrect way IMO as racism is racism to me. But of course if you disagree with me, I must be racist correct?Oh come now, you're not a racist for anything up here, you're just wrong and unable to let go of it.
Quote:Then your either not looking or only going to your echo chamber for support.Why you think that link responds to or contradicts anything I said is beyond me. It is a person writing an opinion piece on why cultural appropriation is a good thing...it's not a refutation of the existence of cultural appropriation..nor is it a redefinition of cultural appropriation................... So, uh, quick q...what do -you- think about that authors position? Broad agreement?
One example of many: http://thoughtcatalog.com/steve-patterson/2015/11/why-cultural-appropriation-is-actually-a-good-thing/
Quote:Well that depends on what you think cultural appropriation actually is doesn't it. If it is just people using those ideas around them that they see value in and "appropriate it", it doesn't matter that you have injected the non sequitur "refusal to acknowledge the creator culture" into the definition willy nilly. "refusal to acknowledge the creator culture" is not a part of cultural appropriation just because you want to believe it is and insist that disagreement is proof of racism.I'm satisfied with the definition of cultural appropriation. Refusal of acknowledgement is explicitly laid out in that definition...... it's part of minimizing or scrubbing the host cultures contribution. The very reason why some consider it to be a violation of cultural IP.
Quote:The fuck is that you have made yourself useless in this and most discussions with your condescending shit talk. It's impossible to have a meaningful dialogue when one person is an arrogant douchebag ready to drop labels and insults at the mere thought of disagreement. Yes, I disagree with you about what cultural appropriation means and it's consequences. With a normal person we could actually have a discussion. With you it's impossible because your bigotry won't allow it.I think that you're mistaken as to why it;s impossible for -you- to have a meaningful dialogue with me. Plenty of other people aren't having that problem - and I get a whole lot meaner than I've ever been with you, lol. The only common factor in all of your own failures, is yourself.
Quote:Now that is an actual dictionary definition and it fits you like a glove.Yeah, I know..I know, I'm bigoted against bigots. Been down that road long before any particular bigot came along to peddle it on these boards. I'll take it...you know why? Because unlike the majority of actual bigots, I have no need to conceal or deny my own opinion..of them, and their opinions.
Do you have anything coherent to add to the discussion of cultural appropriation, or will this be an endless list of the ways that you feel personally slighted by me, a terrible bad bigoted person?
