    Whites should stop blacks from driving cars or flying in planes. Both technologies were invented by dead white males.

    Of course it is. You do not respect their right that they can speak their minds. You refuse to acknowledge their peaceful ways of handing out flyers.

    no it's actually exercising my right to free speech.

    because I disagree with what they say? So the only way you can respect someone's right to free speech is by agreeing with everything they say? What about my right to free speech?

    Peaceful ways of spreading stupid messages doesn't make the message less stupid.

    Your idea's of free speech is that others who you disagree with must be silent. That's not being for free speech one bit, buddy. If it was, than North Korea is a shiny light of free speech.

    Well so far you sure suggest that they may not vent their opinion and pass flyers.

    Really? I'm not aware of that being my idea of free speech.

    Suggesting that I can't criticize ideas I find you be stupid is Absolutly being against free speech.


    Really? When did I suggest that?

    Yeah really. I have yet to read you not minding them being there and handing out flyers, and support their rights.

    I'm thrilled they are there spreading their stupidity. They should be encouraged to make everybody aware of their ideas.

    Have you ever tried listening to yourself sometime? How can an American using American culture be "cultural appropriation"?

    You can't have it both ways, kid. That's just unreasonable and another reason why I think the BLM will die if it doesn't shut down this "cultural appropriation" BS.

    Because it says on wikipedia that rap / hip hop is an afro American thing. I have yet to see any source something like hairdressing is a white thing.

    You do mock out of pure ignorance, refusing to look up if they are right. Good job!

    American, yes. How can an American "culturally appropriate" from another American?

    Nobody will have to do so since it appears BLM is killing itself with racism.

    Most Americans think racism is deplorable.

    I haven't seen a more racist group than BLM outside of the NBPP. I remember when the country felt pity for the people involved in BLM. Then they started blocking roads and bridges and calling for the death of white people and cops, then the country turned on them. It's just in these peoples' DNA to be potatoes.

    So? Do you really want to get into how "white" the clothes and tech you live with are Euro-American?

    Let's put it this way; if the yoga studio can't use "african american" music, then you can't use anything that isn't african american. Fair? If you don't agree, will you fault the millions of Americans who think such people are hypocrites, idiots and worse?

    Sadly, what you say is becoming true. I understand and agree with the initial principles of BLM, but they've quickly become racists. The first clue, IMO, was when they told supporters who happened to be white to go **** themselves. Another clue is this cultural appropriation BS.

    If you're American you aren't African unless you migrated from Africa.

    White people can be African Americans.

    Go ahead and point where it says this is an ethnic white thing:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuxedo

    How about you stick to the facts.
    Yoga is an ethnic Indian / bhudist / hindu thing.
    Rap music / hip hop is an ethnic African American thing.
    These are 2 things from completely different cultural backgrounds.
