Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Absinthresher said I didn't even both reading the rest of this thread after a point because I've already seen enough videos by Sargon of Akkad, TLDR and a few others to already understand that this is stupid, white-shaming nonsense. I'm a 24 year old white male who is racist in so far as I fucking hate every single one of y'all to the point where I'd rather eat a bucket of cryonic death than suggest that there might be something good about you Unless I happen to like you, which is rare. So far as I've seen, society as a whole is become socially retarded with Feminists screaming MISOGYNY! at the drop of a hat and anyone who isn't as white as the driven snow screaming RACIST! when they don't get their way. Honestly, the only Cultural appropriation that I can't get behind is taking ceremonial items from certain cultures, items which are generally impractical, and using them in day to day life for no other reason than to seem edgy or some shit. That being said, anyone remember that fruitcake Bonita Tindle and her righteous outrage at the young white guy for his wearing dreadlocks which she claims African people invented? Yeah, that's my argument. Cloudcuckoolanders like that getting to say what white people can and cannot wear because their culture 'invented it'. By the by, dreadlocks have been worn by a very large number of other cultures dating far back in history and not just with African people. Honestly, this seems to be a primarily American problem Lesser extent, Canadian too because somewhere along the way, African people have become victims in the country they live in. White people didn't invent slavery, we were just the last people to do it on such a massive scale. I've seen more racist shit from African people in general media MTV I'm looking at you, you daft cunt than I've seen from White people since the 1960s. Can't be racist because of institutionalized privilege my ass. Because colored people can't run for congress or be in positions of power EVER. Amirite? Click to expand... Are you talking about people from Africa or Black Americans? Regardless, talking about us all together is basically the same thing the SJWs do about Cis white males. If you don't like it, probably shouldn't do it to another group of people either. I could care less what other people do or wear. I know it's a surprise, but one person does not speak for all of us. My entire opinion on the matter was basically Yeah, wearing dreads is bad because it looks bad on everyone. I and many others were fortunately raised to not victimize ourselves the entire way of our lives. I was taught that things will be harder for me because I am a black woman in this country, but never that I couldn't succeed. White cis gender privilege may not exist, but ignorance certainly does and ignorance has no color. Like it or not, straight white males are in more favorable positions from the moment they are born, and now that you have tasted the tiniest bit of prejudice from non straight, white males, you are enraged about it. My first encounter with actual racism was at 9 years old. I was sitting out in my driveway with my father while we were having a yard sale and a truck of white males rolled down their window and shouted NIGGERS as loud as possible as they drove away. Do I think all white people are racist because that happened to me? No. Unless you have specifically said or done something racist, such as speaking derogatorily against another group, the worst you can be is ignorant. I agree that racist is a term that is over used when 80 percent of the time people are just being stupid and not realizing the significance of their words, actions, or beliefs because they have never been in another persons shoes. This includes when white people call blacks racist. A lot are ignorant, but not racist.
