Cultural appropriation is the admiration or use of indigenous cultural practices of minorities by white people. Or is it?
Indigenous activists state people need to more clearly define the line between appreciating and appropriating another culture’s heritage.
Here is an example. Appreciating another culture would be a white person buying a sweater made by a Navajo artist. Appropriating the Navajo culture would be wearing that prior mentioned sweater. You see the difference? It’s important to start being able to make that distinction as indigenous activists are on the warpath. Because these activists are not just asking the UN to disavow cultural appropriation, they want to implement international laws and measures that will take all of this PC hysteria to a completely new level.
Will it soon be illegal for kids to learn to play the 12 bar blues? Will the parents be criminally prosecuted as is now the case in the U.S. if kids get caught sexting? What if a person unknowingly knits a sweater using colors associated with a certain Native American tribe? How do these indigenous activists propose courts differentiate accidental associations with deliberate appropriation? All on the next page:
The UN does not govern the u.s so basically they can F off
F**k the UN ! They are anti semite
Let them consider doing something worthwhile.
who cares what the un thinks, they do not tell the people of America what to do about anything, the USA must defund the UN and kick them out of the USA and ban them from ever returning and if they do it will be considered an act of war.
Please stop referring to the United States as America …. America is a Continent not a Country …. We have N. America , Central America & S. America all containing many Countries. We live in the United States not America.
Nothing is new –
Patent on life!?!? Ridiculous!
Ecclesiastes 1:9New International Version (NIV)
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Okay here is the way I view the “white thing” for starters we come together from different countries becoming a nationality of many! Really? If they can’t accept a nation of many nationalities maybe they should consider going back to the country their ancestors originated from! Do not be a bigot in a nation of many!
Kick them off US soil.
The un is a bunch of morons.
So…do black girls have to stop straightening their hair…stop wearing white designed clothes…fried chicken…eating beef…where does it end. This just divides us more. How about stopping the total b.s. and just enjoy each others contributions to our society. Thanks Barry…this is the legacy you and Holder’s racism has done to us.
