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.
Oh I agree some people have taken it way too far(including natives). And yes it a great irony that some people who think there defending my culture are doing the same thing they accuse others of this not helpful. Thou I will say I little interest imposing laws I think that goes to far . I prefer education not just to non natives but also natives especially youth about our role in maintaining our culture . There the fastest growing group in Canada and I hope through them things change. As I said thou I won't comment on specific cultures . But yes you get it.

I don't need to tell myself anything I have shown it publically. I don't care how many people agree with me my case is made. Yes i don't care to . What have I thrown? I stated my case you disagree how is that throwing? Case wise i moved on ages ago. In defending myself from your notion that i have somehow been dishonest and evasive who knows.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
