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:
f**k them thats why they dont get our money anymore bunch of anti freedom$#%&!@*faces
Kick the UN to THE curb
In their dreams
The whole premise is stupid because if cultural appropriation is an offense then civilization itself is an offense to all the uncivilized countries.
The u.n. is so messed up it’s hard to take them serously
All I can say is f@!k the UN, they can’t tell us what to do ever. We are a free nation and will never need or want them.
UN is irrelevant in America! Throw them out of America! Ignorant hypocrites!
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
Really, those guys sitting on their butt and earning good money from your contributions and decide that. Who is the genius who introduced and sat, have conversations day after day to conclude that it’s what the world needs it. UN PRESIDENT SHOULD BE OUT with his high salaried people. The US could put to better use of the vacated buildings. They have outlived their usefulness.
Get U.S. OUT OF THE UN
