    So basically everything besides rap music, 6 foot rims, terrible fashion ideas (besides skinny jeans), and peanut butter is ours then.

    Agreed. It's a trumped up idea which waters down the entire original concept of "Black Lives Matter" into stupidity.

    I'd say it's just racism.

    Agreed. Again, their argument is "What is our is ours, but what is yours is belongs to all of us". It completely destroys their own movement.

    The entire postmodern left is based on identity politics in which various groups define what belongs to them and what is truthful despite 2 + 2 = 4.

    White Americans should sue Japan, most of Latin America, and American blacks for appropriating baseball.

    Cultural appropriation is just another foolish liberal concept. Libs provide us with a never-ending stream of idiocy.

    Add basketball to the list to increase foolishness that is identity politics. Maybe short white people could be added to the list of plaintiffs.

    Agreed. They made a name for themselves and were on the correct side of history in the 60s and early 70s by embracing minorities and women. The so-called "Rainbow Coalition". Having won there, they to maintain that "win" be dividing people and then claiming to be uniting them.

    Only if we were as hypocritical, selfish and racist as the Sacramento BLM and, because they aren't shutting down this nonsense, the entire BLM.

    How about this from your own source:

    The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines African-American as "an American of African and especially of black African descent."

    I can't spot a source linking it to an ethnicity.

    How about doing some homework on who Robert Putnam is, what premise he dedicated his life to, what books he wrote, and why he concluded that diversity doe not make us stronger.

    Nope. If you can't make an argument, than you have no business here.

    You asked
    "Where does my opinion of culture differ from "the entire world's opinion"?"
    My answer to that is post 253. Your reply to that makes absolutely no sense.

    So? Ethinicity is a cultural construct. What is Kwanzaa except an ethnic construct? Valentine's Day? Mother's Day?

    No worries. You are free to support "cultural appropriation". My guess is most Americans will come to regard that as silly and racist as the KKK or "White Pride".
