No more insane than the claim adding rap to yoga is "cultural appropriation"....but you go ahead and push as HARD as you can on that idea. The harder you push, the faster BLM will collapse as a idiotic racist organization.
Stealing "white" things...well, at least according to the racist "cultural appropriation" asshats. You can't have it both ways, son. What's fair for one is fair for all.
On the contrary, I don't want you to prove anything. I want you to continue complaining about "cultural appropriation". The more often you do it, but the better.
pfff... you just got a problem with people expressing their free speech when you don't like the message. And indeed. Yoga is bhudist / hindu thing from India, and rap is from the afro American urban area's in cities. Seems you got no clue at all.
You need to prove this first, kiddo. Oh? You wrote "asking you to prove the flyers weren't racist" This is the second time you are contradicting yourself in the hour.
you are being purposefully obtuse. which bores me. to tears. Isn't it funny, though, how the people who are either whining about their culture being appropriated, or whining about cultural appropriation on another culture's behalf (virtue signalers), typically belong to the ideological/political cohort that extols the value of multiculturalism in society?....you know, the whole hippy-dippy "we are the world" aesthetic and "DON'T YOU STEAL MY SWAGGER, BITCH!" trying to present a unified front... I think that's funny. you?
LOL. Hardly, but if you want to claim western clothing, computers, cars, televisions and modern flush toilets were invented in the Congo, you go right ahead Mr. "Cultural Appropriation".
It's sad, but I also think we should encourage racists to be themselves and reveal their racism to all. This "cultural appropriation" thing is just the latest form of racism coming from people like him. It's dishonest and, like turning on a light to reveal cockroaches, the light should be thrown on these racists for all Americans to see.
notme said: You need to prove this first, kiddo. What benefit do you get here agitating and using hyperbolic histrionic rhetoric? Approval among your group? Money? Business opportunities, NEPOTISM? Your IDEAS are deplorable. All of YOUR IDEAS are based upon radical Identity Politics and race baiting. What is it with you and your ilk putting forth these anti-american ideas designed to DIVIDE everybody? Why? Getting on in life is difficult enough for the average American Adult, we don't need this AGITATING. Any American who knows about ANTIFA and the effort to silence conservatives using Violence and epithets of "Nazi", and "White Supremacist", and Racist", for anyone wearing a MAGA Hat know this all too well if they are a white male conservative. If one works and otherwise gets along fine, we still have to contend with these FILTHY ideas being promulgated in our kid's and grandkid's schools. When will we say enough!!!
Oh it's in California. Maybe BLM should concentrate on mass murder of blacks by, blacks. Primitive idiots.
Agreed here. Black males are dying in highly disproportionate numbers and this woman thinks using rap music for yoga is the top priority? The number 1 cause of death for black males age 15-34 in the use is homicide. Almost 50% of their deaths are murder, usually at the hands of another black male. Homicide is also on the list for white males in those age groups, but it's #3 for 15-24 and less than 9%. For 25-34, it's #5 at 5.3%. https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/men/2013/Blackmales2013.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/men/2013/WhiteMen2013.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/lcod/index.htm
Notice how Hindus are not protesting that yoga has become "appropriated" by white people. It's probably because we're too busy working and living the American dream.
I think he was using the same logic as the Sacramento BLM. Specifically wackjob Tanya Faison: https://www.facebook.com/augusteighteenth https://www.facebook.com/BlackLivesMatterSac/
Agreed...plus "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". I have no idea what idiot came up with this "cultural appropriation" nonsense, but the entire concept is flawed by the simple fact anyone who makes that claim can never, ever use anything from another cultural without looking like a hypocrite. Sacramento BLM, and by extension, the entire BLM, are hypocrites for using western culture while claiming "cultural appropriation".
Yeah well. Tell me what is the cultural background of rap music / hip hop and yoga according to wikipedia?
Oh I still got a problem of you refusing to accept that Afro Americans =/= western culture. They are equally no more of the Congo as some random white American is from Germany.
I see no problem when that is done by spreading flyers. And so it seems you got a problem with free speech. Hate the constitution much?
