The entire concept of bitching about cultural appropriation seems completely inane to me. I can understand if people are taking things from a culture just to be offensive assholes, but taking something from another culture shouldn’t make it automatically offensive.

If it’s wrong for a white girl to wear a kimono then people need to back the fuck off of white culture. Stop appropriating the white man’s electricity, light bulbs, air planes, automobiles, internet, etc.

It’s natural for people to incorporate things from other cultures if they like it. So if you find it so offensive, stop appropriating from other cultures yourself.

define the shade of white please.

Define the shade of white? You’re going to have to be a bit more specific.

Anglo, anglo-saxon, visigoth, dutch, german, nordic, slav, russian…etc.

I mean i like potatoes, vodka, audis, lacoste, and range rovers. should i not like those things because im not white?

I think it’s fine for you to like those things.

The point I’m trying to make is people only seem to bitch when it’s any culture but white that’s being appropriated from. If appropriation is wrong then at least be consistent with your logic. If it’s ok to appropriate some cultures but not others you’re being a hypocrite.

But if cultural appropriation is wrong and is indeed something to get worked up over, then we have to define what culture gets to ‘own’ certain things. Needless to say, this is a cluster fuck in and of itself.

To put it in another way, how Japanese do you have to be before it’s ok to wear a kimono?

Does something ever become ok to use by all cultures when it becomes so widespread?

Where does one even begin to draw the boundaries on cultures to determine where it begins and where it ends (which is what I think you were hinting at with the ‘how white’ question)?

All of this really just comes down to the fact the entire concept of cultural appropriation is stupid. And the people who champion it as a cause have no fucking clue what they’re talking about.

Mr. Wizard invented SRK but black posters decided to make it their own

Him sucking dick or smoking crack really aren’t that important honestly. Even with him being HIV positive, him sucking dick and smoking crack is pretty irrelevant.

Youre right, my bad. There is nothing wrong with spreading std’s through promiscuous sexual behavior and unmitigated drug usage. Silly of me to think that being high 24/7 on cocaine, alcohol, and whatever else, while having unprotected sex, inevitably spreading disease, is disgusting.

HOW DARE I THINK LIKE THAT. I must be a homophobe. Damn, lemme get myself in check. lol

[SWBeta]

Your FF14 character.

The texture work on whatever that’s supposed to be on the left is incredibly crude.

Nigga shut yo $5 ass up 'fo I make change! :mad:

Actually yo’ broke ass could use some change.

Nigga, compared to what you bring home, having a 3D waifu would still be winning. Niggas like beesuit and Spirit Juice are big pimping Rico Suave compared to you, nigga. Can’t even buy Ramen noodles for your dates cuz you breaking the bank getting 10 ps2 games for $8. Ol’ “that’s a sweet bargain, plus I’m losing weight!!” ass nigga. Don’t even have money left to wash one pair of underwear. Ol’ swamp butt stained drawers wearing ass nigga. Can’t even ask for money on the side of the road cuz drivers can smell your dead skunk smelling ass 1000 yards away. Causing accidents and shit cuz people be swerving into other cars trying to get away from the smell. They should use yo’ stank ass as a biological weapon. The US might actually fear Canada if they did.

There, I made change. Go use it to wash yourself at a car wash, nigga. $5 only gives you 3 mins, though–you better be thorough, nigga :mad:

On the other hand, I do agree that the texture work is some ass. The dev team has had to do some funky shit with graphics for the game to not fry PS3s. Hoping they drop PS3 support by the next expansion.

[SNAAAAKE]

Snaaake the type of nigga to install Happ parts in a Japanese candy-cab.

And it’s not even the stronk iL parts; he would use Suzo-Happ’s made in China parts. :china:

fucc you babbling about now post09er nobody scrub-virgin

I wouldn’t buy any japanese candy-ass-cab. I will make my own. and I don’t “need” any specific joystick. I can use anything because I am that good.

[crotchpuncha]

Did Jimmy just equate inventing something with improving that thing?

I kinda did, but the overall point was its pretty stupid to point to technological achievements as some type of bar set by white people, when plenty of the shit everyone enjoys today was created by black and brown skin people a very very long fucking time ago. Everyone on this planet, regardless of color, ethnicity, gender, etc… has contributed to its whole. Pointing out individual accomplishments of a “race”, especially accomplishments achieved when no one else could achieve them also (american wasnt exactly a bastion of equality in the 19th century), is really fucking stupid.

I ranted about cultural appropriation and its overuse a few days ago in the rap thread, so i wont go into detail on it here. Its a term that is tossed around way too much lately.

I am pretty sure this was the point of her post. Everyone has contributed the world we live in today, so to cry fowl over a white girl wearing a Kimono as being cultural appropriation is stupid because we all use things many cultures have givin us over the years. and incorporated those things into our lives, things like tech inventions, foods, clothes, so on so fourth.

Yea I know you agree with this.

I feel you, but the concept of cultural appropriation isnt stupid, its just constantly misused by minorities feeling offended by anything white people do. We could spend hours on proper cultural appropriation, but the fact of the matter is, its being overused as fuck these days.

I almost feel bad for my white male best friend. I’m like damn homey, just a few years ago it was all good when we were running these streets, now white women out here wilding on you. lol. White guys dont care what white women say anyways. Most of the white guys i know wanted a piece of some minority ass anyways, and these arent like paul wall white guys, but really normal white dudes.

[Negative-Zer0]

First of all drugs do absolutely nothing to you. Look at Charlie, sane as they come!

Secondly, being sexually promiscuous without exercising caution has no consequences. You’re just mad he gets more pussy than you nigga.

Lastly people are sexually fluid. The fact that people have sex with women is a stroke of luck.

Could you give an example of good and bad cultural appropriation?

[SoVi3t]

black people stealing basketball from us amazing white Canadians was good cultural appropriation.

black people stealing white people’s guitar riff’s from the 70’s to use as the entire beat for their shitty rap songs, is bad cultural appropriation.

Umm… Black people improved the light bulb, invented the refrigerator, developed open heart surgery, and WE GAVE YOU PEANUT BUTTER.

Your people gave us a cautionary tale about knowing the true value of what you own, alcoholism, and paint huffing.

Fall back, sis.

[Negative-Zer0]

Good cultural appropriation: black people listening to Beethoven

Bad cultural appropriation: white people listening to NWA

Good cultural appropriation: Indian people wearing American clothing

Bad cultural appropriation: white Americans wearing Indian cloths.

Good cultural appropriation: Black people wearing weave to straighten their hair

Bad cultural appropriation: White people wearing dreads.

Do you understand now Matriarch?

Could you give an example of good and bad cultural appropriation?

Sure, youre being a prick about it, asking me to defend something that is obviously real, but okay. I’ll use music for an example

Bad case of cultural appropriation=“Iggy azalea is culturally appropriating black culture because she has a big butt, raps in a southern accent, and is australian. She wouldnt get any shine if she wasnt white, and why the fuck is kylie wearing cornrows, she aint black. You aint one of us just because you fuck black guys and get your hair cornrowed”

Good case of cultural appropriation=Riff raff. Anyone who knows riff raff, agrees. Caskey, a white rapper signed to cash money, who recently had a video with him and a bunch of black people cooking crack, guns around,etc… This guy is a white dude from the burbs of orlando florida, who listened to heavy metal before his sister put him onto rap. lol.

Cultural appropriation is essentially when you take someone elses shit, use it, many times out of context, as we do for native americans, and there is no even playing field for the originators to play ball too. In some cases, even those culturally appropriating are globally praised for their uniqueness, that isnt actually unique in any way shape or form.

There is a lot of “feelings” when it comes to cultural appropriation, and not always a lot of fact, but if say you own a business and have never stepped foot on a basketball court in harlem in your life, but you go there to shoot a commercial for your business to make your business seem cooler, more opening to different people, then go back to not giving a fuck about those people, that community, basketball, etc… Youre appropriating that culture.

I dont think cultural appropriation is as serious as people make it out to be, but it exist, and white people tend to be the global front runners of being able to appropriate cultures to make millions. Colonialism has blessed us globally with the adoration for the white man. lol
