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:
People the UN is playing the same psycho-games the Dem/Leftists played on us to get hooked on Political Correctness. Now, Rogue Dems & Rogue RINO’s are making laws through back-room bi-partisan deals, without the Full Congress. Our Rogue Reps are creating back-room highways to the UN to make UN created laws binding on American soil. People, I wonder if this can lead to UN Boots on American Soil.
Thank you Tony.

Please!!!! MAKE MY DAY!!! knowing if they do something as stupid as that….they’ll be looking for a new location!!! Americans will demand they be thrown out!!
Kiss our$#%&!@* Who died and put you in charge Arab Spring dickheads!
So stupid. When people say that whites or other ethnic groups can’t braid their hair or wear what they call dreadlocks, they are just showing their ignorance. For example, we have artwork and archaeological evidence that clearly shows Europeans wore both these hairstyles. By adopting this kind of logic, it means that blacks, asians and others can’t wear blue jeans, high heels or wear straightened hair. All this is just meant to divide us and I’m sick of it. I’m all for celebrating and appreciating our differences – not using them as weapons against each other.
So the UN is going to ban the spread if Islam because that would be Cultural Appropriation? Yeah Right!
