That you are attempting to leverage an incomplete description of cultural appropriation in order to minimize and de-legitimize it and anyone calling attention to it..not any cultural appropriating you have personally done...is what -you- should be ashamed of.(June 27, 2017 at 2:33 pm)Khemikal Wrote: No, it doesn't...and I'm tired of explaining to the usual suspects why no amount of claiming that it does and talking about silly shit is even remotely addressing the reality of cultural appropriation.
Well, as long as elvis's people payed one or two darkies, we're cool, right? Everyone's off the hook, then and now.
It does.
Cultural apropriation is the use or adaption of elements of a culture by people of another culture.
Quote:If a headdress is an element of someone's culture it's textbook cultural apropriation for someone of another culture to use that headdress or adapt into their own style.
And yes as long as the people, darkies or whiteys, agreed to sell their songs and got paid and credited then we are very cool.
Yep, every oppressed culture agreed to the cultural appropriation inflicted upon them by their oppressors. Those collaborating individuals made it all okay. I mean, if they didn't maybe they should have sued for copyright or something.
