my fiance has a degree in biotechnology and cytogenetics and worked at bed bath and beyond and older people would always ask him, “so did you go to college?” and when he said yes and told them his degree they would say, “wow!! then what the heck are you doing working here??” and if that doesn’t tell you how disillusioned and ignorant the older generations are to the situation many millennials are in right now i don’t know what will

The facts were these

anarchy-at-teatime

Cultural appropriation is just a way for people to segregate themselves and each other. Shouldn’t we be trying to learn about each other? Shouldn’t we be trying to accept each other? Shouldn’t we be judging people by the content of their characters and not the color of their skin?? Or the language of their tongues???? Or where they come from???? For fuck’s sake!!! Stop segregating everyone! Didn’t people fight and die for the segregation to fucking end????!!!

bornabitch-allthedaysandnights

Advocating against appropriation cannot possibly result in segregation because there is no problem with people from different cultures interacting with each other and willingly sharing their culture with one another, appropriation only occurs when people are using traditions from marginalized/oppressed cultures without consulting/asking/being invited by people in the culture.

Also, culture has nothing to do with skin color. Race =/= culture/ethnicity. A person can be black and Latinx just like a person can be Asian and Latinx!

Cultural appropriation is “taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else’s culturewithout permission … when the source community is a minority group that has been oppressed or exploited in other ways.” - from Who Owns Culture?: Appropriation and Authenticity in American Law by Fordham law professor Susan Scafidi

“Two ways in which cultural appropriation can be harmful are easily identified. The first sort of harm is violation of a property right … The second sort of harm is an attack on the viability or identity of the cultures or their members. Appropriation that undermines a culture in these ways would certainly cause devastating and clearly wrongful harm to members of the culture … Other acts of appropriation potentially leave members of a culture exposed to discrimination, poverty and lack of opportunity.” - from The Ethics of Cultural Appropriation (edited by Young and Brunk)

First of all, I’ve already read your posted literature and it doesn’t change jack about the facts. Second of all, if there’s nothing wrong with sharing your culture with others then why try to keep them out? Why actively make it a point to distance yourself from other cultures? Third of all, it is absolutely about race! “Black culture” is a phrase that’s thrown around every time a white person does something “offensive”. Never mind that Jamaicans are different from Africans and there are parts of Africa that are different from each other. Yes, it is absolutely about race when someone is “too white” for something or something is “too black” for someone. That is absolutely about race. When someone tells someone else that they are the the wrong colour for anything, that’s the very definition of racism. Lastly, no one culture owns music or art or dance or literature. That’s the point of art music dance and literature. To share it with the world. Literature is a white invention. If I told a black person that they can’t read or write because that’s appropriation, that would be extremely racist. Of course. And yet it’s okay to tell people that they can’t like something because they’re the “wrong colour?” If people started rallying and protesting Beyonce smoothing her hair and putting blonde highlights in it, that would be undoubtedly racist. But it’s okay to tell a white person what hair style they can or can’t have? You want an example of actual appropriation, there’s an entire day devoted to it in just a couple of days. But because the appropriation and utter mockery is of a Caucasian culture it’s not a problem, evidently? And hey, you wanna talk about an entire culture losing their identity? Look at how all Caucasians are grouped into one big pasty blob. Even though irish culture is vastly different from English culture and English culture is vastly different from German and so forth. People should be able to like things without being labeled racist. People should be allowed to learn a language without being slapped with the CA card. People should be allowed to explore and be fascinated with other cultures without their lives being a living hell because of it. And that applies to everyone. Besides, isn’t actually liking other cultures the opposite of racist?

bornabitch-allthedaysandnights

You’re being wilfully ignorant and purposefully dense.

Can you really not comprehend the difference between inviting someone into your come for dinner and that same person breaking into your house and raiding your fridge? Can you really not understand that there is a difference between members of the culture willingly sharing their traditions and people doing whatever, whenever, however they want with those same traditions? I know you can understand the difference and are being disingenuous.

African-American culture in the US is often colloquially referred to as ‘black culture,’ mainly because slaver traders & slave owners purposefully stripped and erased the cultural identities of the people they enslaved. Their languages, music and religion were literally illegal and all of their specific ethnic identities were lost, and were all lumped together as ‘black.’ That was not their choice or fault.

Clearly you have never heard of cultural patrimony. Members of a culture collectively own their cultural traditions (both tangible and intangible), ancestral human remains, historical artifacts and national/natural monuments. In many cases there are laws protecting this cultural patrimony and they range from the local to international level (US- Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, Japan- Cultural Property Laws, international- UNESCO). The Masai are pursuing an international copyright on their name and iconic traditions as we speak, and the Navajo are successfully suing Urban Outfitters for their violation of Navajo trademarks.

LOL literature is not a white invention sweetie, what a lovely piece of white supremacist propaganda. The first poet ever was a brown woman in Mesopotamia known as Enheduanna.

Black people have been forced for centuries to change their hair because white people made laws against their natural hair, said their hair was unprofessional, made rules against natural black hair, fired for their natural hair, threatened with expulsion for their natural hair, etc. Beyonce and other black women subscribing to Eurocentric beauty standards is not the same as white people spreading false stereotypes about culturally relevant hairstyles designed for afrotextured hair by neglecting their hygiene.

All the major St Patricks Day celebrations outside of Ireland are without fail hosted by Irish immigrant populations, and it’s actually been a sticking point because these usually-majority-Catholic groups regularly have refused to allow LGBT organizations in their parades. If you have a problem with how the Irish are commercializing and misrepresenting their own culture, take it up with them. And I might add that the Irish who have struggled against British oppression do not take kindly to you using them as a crutch for racist arguments.

The mere fact that you use the term Caucasian to mean white means you have no idea WHY all white people are lumped together under what used to be a term only for the people from the Caucasus region. Guess what, y’all decided to lump all those different groups together under the one banner YOURSELVES. It’s history of anthropology 101

“Why White People Are Called ‘Caucasian,’” (pdf)

Caucasian is a Dirty Word.

Who is “White”?

Stop using the word “Caucasian” to mean white

There’s nothing wrong with learning another language, or learning about other cultures. Nothing at all. There is something wrong with “taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else’s culture without permission … when the source community is a minority group that has been oppressed or exploited in other ways.” LEARN THE DIFFERENCE.

In short, nearly everything you’ve said shows you do not have even the most basic knowledge necessary to discuss the issue, much less refute the scholarly evidence I’ve already provided. Please note that you have provided no such evidence to support your own claims before choosing how to respond.

onlyblackgirl

Learning about each other and appropriating are literally the exact opposite. You wouldn’t be appropriating if you bothered to learn about other people and cultures because you should respect it and realize you would be a dick to put that war bonnet on your dusty ass scalp when it had a specific cultural purpose and value.

Like stop pretending you actually care about learning about other people’s cultures. You just want to be able to buy clip in dreads at forever 21.

Smh

The woman who don’t want your ass v. The woman who thought she wanted your ass, but later realized you weren’t shit.

Why is Ayesha Curry the new standard?

realdowntomarsgirll-deactivated

She lightskin, with green eyes. She married. She cooks. She’s “not one of these hoes out here”

gregwuzhere

These niggas don’t have a 300 millisecond set and release but they plan on marry Ayesha. Yeah ok.

Shit, niggas ain’t even on Tyga wack ass level, how y'all think y'all gonna get a Chyna?

Both these women is outta these niggas leagues.

monroeler3b

I’m so over you fuckboys.

blackinamerica

Women like Ayesha have always been the “standard” colorism is real yall

kimreesesdaughter

This isn’t about Ayesha being lightskinned. They’re both lightskinned. This is about slut shaming and hoe culture. Whichever fuckboy made this is perceiving Blac Chyna as a hoe (cause you know Black women aren’t allowed sexual freedom w/o being coined a thot, hoe or any other term that degrades Black women for being sexual beings) and he views Ayesha as the good wholesome girl next door type. Which is odd because niggas swear they want girls who aren’t ashamed of having sexual needs and expressing that but shame the ones who do….They want you to look like Ayesha to the public but be Blac Chyna in private because these niggas truly believe that Black women who are unapologetic about their sexualites need to be kept behind closed doors.

neon-taco

^thank you

originalgalaxygirl-deactivated2

You act like slut shaming only happens to blacks. I assure you, it doesn’t. It’s wrong, but everyone judges based on image. We can be made about our culture but not too mad, because we’re part of it.

“BLACKS”

………WAS THIS DISCUSSION NOT ABOUT TWO BLACK WOMEN???????

rankonerook-deactivated20180724

Look at society failing to acknowledge black women’s struggle as a problem. AGAIN.

bitcheslovesprinkles

This turned from a discussion that might've been going somewhere into yet another opportunity tone dismissive of black women.
