The term “cultural appropriation” fundamentally misunderstands the process by which all cultures form and progress OpenFuture

Understand that Trump’s urging white nativists to come out into the light of day has caused some dismay among us “binary oppressor oppressed” types.

“Kill the Indian in him, and save the man.” That was the mindset under which the U.S. government forced tens of thousands of Native American children to attend “assimilation” boarding schools.

“...reinforcing the oppressor-oppressed binary through which social-justice advocates see the world. Because Christians and whites are groups deemed to have power, all manner of borrowing or parody is intolerable.”

the term is meaningless

A person respects another person according to person behavior. Criminal behavior deserves no respect. Anyone respect Jeffery Dommer?

Finally something sensible on the subject of cultural appropriation:”To appropriate the words of John Donne, no culture is an island entirely of itself.”

Finally some anti-SJW stuff. Please continue and be consistent in opposing SJWs.

Cultural appropriation. Ok so all minorities can stop using european languages, inventions, and nationalities.

People now a days get offended way too easily..😕😕

Evolution is a series of “cultural appropriation”. I think trust should get paid for the work they do, regardless of where the inspiration comes from. I also think that big corporations that rip off artist should be held accountable. Sometimes younger people get the two confused.

It's liberal PC stupidity. I am an African, and I wonder how a white self styled liberal anarchist PC enforcer can feel offended on my behalf because a classmate is wearing a traditional attire that represents my culture. It's madness.

Agreed it's an inane concept.

So beautiful!

No culture is an island entirely of itself.

Please. The problem is that some companies make zillions with symbols from cultural groups that are struggling. That some are praised for what others will be excluded.

Oh i wish i could favorite this tweet at least three times

I've never heard the term cultural appropriation used in real life. I suppose that means my life is free of thin skinned whiners.

If not, every white girl who had a perm in the 80s stole black culture 🤪

Too many people these days use the term “cultural appropriation” when you can see they’re actually talking about “cultural ownership”...that mentality that culture can be ‘owned’ is so backwards yet it’s always people so concerned with being ‘woke’...ironic...

What do thesetools think art is? All art has been slow adoptions of other influences Evolving and changing over time C.A. is a term weilded by leftists for political purposes, they then hold to ransom all of us with restricted speech, behavior Ignore them! They're in lala land

Tell her to go home and put on some something on, 30 years from now she will say some one abused her and her petting zoo

Cultural appropriation is a canard. Every innovation depends upon the combining of elements in a new way. The beauty of our age is that we can learn new things faster to combine them and improve lives. Humans work together to accumulate knowledge and build the new upon the old.

Why does the fuck does it matter?

Don’t tell guardian their fearless opinion columnists would have nothing to write about. afuahirsch

it's next to PoliticalCorrectness and has messed us all up to a great deal already.

The Economist gets this one right.

Un-FUCKING-believable!” It's mind-bagelling No one attacks anyone over a bagel taking too long to prepare–the story implies the person may have been drunk–which means there was something else going on there, with the bagel only being the trigger for some pre-existing issue.

Declaring ‘the Fed has gone crazy,’ Trump increasingly takes aim at U.S. central bankPresident Trump is stepping up blame on the Federal Reserve as concern grows the economy could be slowing. The fed has gone nuts. They are an absolute drain on the economy. Isn't their mission stability and not big bank dividends? The federalreserve can go to hell. But I gotta thank them since I will buy discounted stock. Things always go back up, free money is free money. The Trump economic stimulus is a fiscal version of the Nixonian monetary stimulus. Both designed to ensure re-election even if the price is future inflation.
