Kim Kardashian West slammed as 'ignorant' for wearing braids at MTV Movie & TV Awards

Sure. If you're trying to sell yourself as part of another group to get benefits like Rachel Doezal or Elizabeth Warren I can see that.

Wearing a headdress, eating a taco, owning an Italian restaurant or any angst associated with all that is just ridiculous.

I'm not implying you're a leftist, I'm saying that the people who tend to be upset when someone wears a halloween costume of a native american are always non-native american leftist SJW's. Typically white leftist SJW's.

Impersonation is fraud.

Dressing up like a native american hurts no one, other than SJW's.

 

Yeah she's a mortal enemy now because she doesn't hate Trump... I'm sure the left would call it racist if a right winger called braids ignorant. In fact, I believe it wasn't but a couple weeks ago when I was called a racist for talking about braids.

 

Oh cmon man you know black people invented braids and have that **** on patent.

 

Leave the poor girl alone. Look at all her achievements, she's...................er...............................well............................What does she do exactly?

 

Lost what?

What about the people who actually earned the honor of wearing a headdress through the grueling trials necessary to earn it?

I'll ask you, would you be fine with some random person wearing a congressional medal of Honor as thoigh they earned it, even though they didn't?

 

another dodge?

 

If someone showed up pretending to have won a MOH I'd have a problem with that. If someone came to a halloween party wearing one I'd have no problem with that.

The problem here is you're trying to use examples of fraudulent acts to explain "cultural appropriation", when simply wearing braids is the original complaint.

 

so when Black Women straighten their hair isn't that Cultural Appropriation.

 

Really? Interesting. Do you think someone who served in the military would have your understanding? Or do you think they might get offended that someone was using something they considered sacred as a prop? Would you think they were being to sensitive?

To a First Nations person that is fraudlant and cultural appropriation.

And yeah, we have strayed a bit from the specific example in the OP I think that the overall argument is an important one.

 

who cares? I mean about her period.

 

For a halloween party? That's the point of halloween. Oh and I did serve in the military.

Except the only people complaining about headdresses are white leftists.

The important part is the scope. You have brought up some examples that could be offensive, but eating a frickin taco is offensive to some of these numbskulls.

 

I agree that scope is important. And definitely agree some take it way to far. I will always believe that respecting stuff like that keeps the weight of what it's supposed to mean. Once you see something as nothing, it's hard to see it as something again.

But, I do admit my assumption was broad as not everyone with a common characteristic will automatically think the same, so apologies for that.
