I’ve always thought that imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery, but did you know that it is considered by many politically
correct snowflake morons as extremely offensive and bad form for members of one
ethnic group to “appropriate” the cultural aspects and practices of a different
ethnic group?
Yes, it’s difficult to for me to imagine why someone
in her right mind might become violently offended enough to physically assault
another person simply because a hairstyle, for instance, was supposedly “culturally
appropriated.”
But now it happens
all the time.
Hampshire College student, Carmen Figueroa, for
example, recently assaulted
a member of the Central Maine Community College girls’ basketball team
over concerns that one of their players had “culturally appropriated” a
hairstyle.
Cultural appropriation is defined as the “taking
over of creative or artistic forms, themes, or practices by one cultural group
from another. It is in general used to describe Western appropriations of non‐Western or non‐white forms, and
carries connotations of exploitation and dominance.”
Figueroa had the nerve to order white members of the
Central Maine Community College girls’ basketball team to remove braids from
their hair, claiming that their use of the hairstyle is black “cultural
appropriation.” When
they refused to comply with her ridiculous demands she reportedly assaulted one
of them.
So you see, in today’s convoluted insane politically
correct society, white folks can’t eat soul food; white folks can’t listen to
blues music; white chicks can’t wear dreadlocks, because it might offend black folks;
because that is offensive and exploitative; and, yes…
White chicks can’t wear braids.
Following the logic (I use the term loosely) of these snowflakes, black students should be screamed at for using a knife, fork, or spoon when they eat, as that practice was "culturally appropriated" from whites.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine a life so empty that whining over such things would seem important.
